It’s taken a while, but I think I’m getting my mojo back
with this build. It’s coming along at quite a pace now.
Time to start on Structure B. This is the building that
sits at the back of the box on the righthand side.
Before
I show my progress, can I recommend that you purchase a Rubber Brayer. This
tool is invaluable when applying cover sheets to the base layers. 
Once the cover layer is in place, a good firm roll with the Brayer and all the air bubbles are eliminated with ease.
Once again, the Scaleglaze windows come into their own.
This building is a simple sturdy box construction. The
side wall also incorporates the drainpipes. Don’t forget to colour any exposed
edges.
The righthand side wall has to be cut to size, to
accommodate the wall of the box file. This however is explained well in the
instructions.
Glue the sides, the back and the front wall together, and there you have your basic structure.
Now, here is where I got a little too clever for my own
boots. I thought I’d sorted out a problem that didn’t exist. I wanted to build
the roof vent perpendicular from the roof, so I fashioned a temporary
sacrificial stay to be removed once the vent was in place,to the back of the building to achieve the said result. Well
it did work but, if I read the instructions correctly, it told me
clearly how to do it.
Glue the sides, the back and the front wall together, and there you have your basic structure.
Add the roof and the gutter and that’s the main structure
done. Just the add on detail bits to sort.
Now you can’t tell me, that you can get a quality finish
with any other paper kit (you know which ones) than this Scalescenes kit. Even the end course of
bricks are lined up!
Once the vents and side duct is in place, that’s it for
Structure B.
I had to try it in place (just to check if it fit of
course)
