The only issue I see with this is that the styrene building walls and not going to be of the same high quality as the base itself 8-)

Thanks, Gary.

The MiniArt buildings do have some limitations. But if they're carefully painted they can be more than convincing. In fact, I think a whole building is easier than a damaged building, only because the internals of brick and wood are not visible.

GROUT!

Thanks for following, gents.

With the road mostly ready for final weathering, I've turned my effort to the little house.

Fireplace from Formica samples and cork.

I wanted a wood stove for the fireplace.

Lego bricks, styrene and jewelry parts.
I wont bother painting it, as it will be made into a mold for casting with Cold basement Models.
