Wow, thank you Tamer.

Wow, this building is looking really fantastic. I'm sure whatever decision you make will be great. Personally I like a dark art deco Gotham,  like in the '89 Batman, and Returns.

Thanks JD, I'm thinking I should go that way with it, it still looks too clean lol!

 Today I managed to get time to apply another coat of paint, as you can see I applied a darker coat on to the external brick work and then a grey coat to the corner stones. Once its dry, I'll glue the black foam board down. You probably have noticed that I have removed top layer of card ftom the black foam board, the texture I think works better without the top layer on. Need to build a roof shed and air con units for the roof and also add the downstairs windows and doors.

I think its starting to look more like a building in Gotham!

Oh yeah, looks good. Off  to share the update.

Looking good! The dark brickwork definitely gives it a dark Gotham look.

Today I got back to work on the building, I decided to work on the doorway to roof and an air condition unit. Both units are made with foam board, the first attempt of the doorway to the roof I thought was a little too large for the building. I ended up by taking an inch from the height and the width, at the moment I have placed a make shift door with a piece of black foam board. The air con unit again made from white foam board, the air vents are rectangles cut into the board and then using a flat piece of metal to push tops of the vents in and pull the underneath's out.

I have decided to fill the inside space with some furniture and will make up a few boxes and palettes. To start off with, I now have the beginnings of an L shaped desk.

Very nice. Off to share in all the right places.

Today I have done a little more work on the building. I started by going over the brick work with a black was. Then painting the rooftop doorway grey, then a black wash. For the door a coat of bergandy with both a black and a white wash, I have ordered a 1:12 door handle for it. The air con unit, I gave it a white coat, then a black wash, finished off with a gentle white wash to smooth out the black, then glued both onto the roof.

The desk I have added a front and sides to it, sanded it down and a waiting to be stained.

I decided to add the personnal touch to this building and added my logo to it, the building is now the Gotham branch of Richard's Creative Workshop.

I have started to measure up for the groundfloor windows and door, once they are fitted, then on to the street and side.

It's slowly starting to come together!
