Building Sarissa 20mm terraced houses
« on: March 17, 2019, 04:42:12 AM »
I've been wanting to create enough houses to make a simple French village and when I saw Sarissa's new terrace houses I thought these would form the perfect basis for a typical street. As with all MDF buildings they need a bit of extra love and attention to give them character and individuality. I have a detailed tutorial here https://thetacticalpainter.blogspot.com/2019/03/building-sarissa-20mm-terrace-houses.html

Nice pictures and detailed write up. I'm actually working on a very similar build, too, and it's good to see what your approach is.

Very nice houses and a really good write up.

I find that adding the strips of roofing really helps with all MDF buildings. They are cheap and quick to put on. For larger wooden shingles I have even hand cut them, which is fairly quick to do. 

I do like your corner pile of rubble, I might try that myself.

Much improved over just the basic kits - good work!
