I've returned to Peterborough again this weekend, to
accompany my wife Jak while she works. It's given me some time on my hands
again, so I rummaged through my Scalescenes kits for a quick and easy project
to build while in the green room. I came up with the T019 Row of Cottages. It's
a quick and simple build, perfect for a weekend project.
I managed to ensconce myself back in the prep room,
adjacent to the green room. With copious amounts of coffee and biscuits, it's a
perfect place to hide away and build.
It all starts by cutting out all of the windows.
These will be stuck onto acetate once they are cut out.
Next the front and rear walls are cut out along with all
of the door and window openings.
The cover layers come next. I've opted for the
squared rubble option.
A small tip. Don't cut out the centre of the doors and
windows just yet. You will find it a lot easier to squarely fit the cover
layers over the base layers whilst they are still in one piece.
Once the cover layers are in place, cut out the centre of
the doors and windows and wrap them around the openings.
Fit the window sills, windows and doors in the
openings. And that's the exterior walls done.
Time to start on the interior walls next. These are cut
out the same as the exterior walls and glued together. Once completed, I found
it better to put the curtains in place at this stage.
The gable ends are next. The same as the main walls.
Exterior and interior together.
The chimney breasts and fire places are next.
Both downstairs and upstairs.
At this point, I was advised that Jak had been given an
early finish. So all play was stopped. Hopefully tomorrow I can start to bring
all of the walls together. I will try to get as far as I can, and let you see
the progress.
Until Next Time..........
