Fasaden är noggrant ritad, men tyvärr sköt jag takkonstruktionen till senare vilket innebar att en hel del improvisation fick användas vid bygget och att en takläggare med all säkerhet skulle ha allvarliga påpekanden om konstruktionen.
Det är ju tyvärr lite svårare att komma åt att fotografera och mäta upp taket, jämfört med fasaden.

Huset är byggt med "kapaskivor" i stommen och med tunn styv kartong som putsyta.
The construction is built up with 5 mm kapa boards, a kind of foam board covered with cardboard.

The plaster facedes are then cut out in another layer of cardboard.


 
 


 
The walls are primed with an waterbased primer with quite much "body"

Painted rather thick and then dotted with the brush to get a coarse surface. 


 
Slutstrykningsfärg är Polly Scales "" på väggens övre del.
Top coat is painted with diferent mixes from Polly Scale, "D&RGW bldg cream" on the upper half.
 


For this model i produced a few etched details, prototype looking windows and doors,
some shop windows and a balcony.
 

 



A tricky phase was the roofing of the building. A classical tin roof.
With no origanal drawing for the construction there was need for improvisation.
 
A good start was to cut out plain paper examples to refine the mesures step by step
until the (almost) right sized boards could be cut out in 0,75mm plastic card.


 
Well almost right sized. There was still some gaps between the boards
But the next step will cover these gaps.


 
This time the roof will be covered by the tin plates, (0,4 mm styren in strips 5*20mm)


 
The foldes are monted separately (styren strip 0,25*0,5mm)

Perhaps a kind of therapy work, sigh....... but well worth the result.
 

 
Chimneys built of brass profiles covered with 0,4mm plastic card.
 


Now, the sheet-metal workers have done their job.
Painted in black I think that the roof got a rather good tin-roof character.
