My latest Modelling Masterclass owes much to various workbench articles/tutorials first seen here on The Lead Adventure Forum. I hope that this article helps others to build their own Russian themed buildings.

Nice build and tutorial  :)

As a personal view I find the lollipop/tongue depressors/coffee stirrers a little thick so I invested in a simple width cutter from Micro-Mark and use sheets of thin basswood that I cut into the desired width strips. When I get around to finishing a building instead of painting figures I will post pics.

Nicely done!

I've been in a bit of a modelling/painting slump since coming home from our big local gaming convention two weeks ago, but my Russian Civil War hamlet so far lacks any buildings with planked roofs. I think I'll get off this damned computer after dinner here and start hacking up coffee stir sticks again!

Imitation is the sincerest form of something-or-another, right?

Just the kick I needed to break out the stirsticks and Xacto knives this evening, thanks!

Fantastic.

Sometimes the slightest nudge is all we need.
