For a second attempt it is really nice! I'm guessing balsa over foamcore or some such. Can't wait to see it after you splash some paint on it.

Very nice job on that building...I would just open the windows and put some interior in there...very nicely done.

Nice work, looks great.

Perhaps add two strips of balsa as some fascia boards on the back to hide the gap between the roof and walls? and I think the front is screaming out for a sign but that would make it a store or something specific

Thanks for the feedback guy's. Plan to fill gaps between roof and back wall plus a sign will be added once I've got round to painting it.
As for interiors, my next project is Seth's Livery Stable and farriers which I plan to have removable roof, interior detail such as horse stalls, hay loft etc but wanted to try the basics first.

Very nice, I particularly like the handle sticking out of the side in the first photo lol

Definitely agree about a sign on the front and Svennns idea to hid the gap at the rear.
