Low relief building for a backdrop/edge of board.
Enjoyed experimenting with different fillers and paint techniques etc

I really like that. I get a kick out of trying new stuff, even when it doesn't work out or not as expected.

That's rather nice!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I like it very much but I worry for your foundation. That is a vicious crack!

That's looking the part alright! very nice 8)

Can we see a shot of it from the side, to see how low the relief actually is?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

I'll sort one later, the lower 2 storeys are about 2cm, top floor about 2.5cm

Nice.  And I really like the idea of low relief buildings for the gaming table.  I think there are lots of games where that would be better than full 3D, streets of Chicago come to mind for Prohibition Era gangster games - and I'm sure there are others.  Used a lot in model railroading.

That has come up nicely!

I started a similar little project a couple of years ago, a pair of low relief fantasy buildings to go against one edge of the table, but got distracted after just building the shells. I should get back to those.

I like the use of low relief buildings to block the lines of sight/fire along the table edges, and to help define where you can get on and off the table.
