“Set Europe ablaze!”

an appropriate sign to pop on the front gable end,

Use google translate & come up with something about engineering works?

Lovely job you've done there David.

Cheers Pete!

very nice building, something like Torpedo workshop  " Torpedo Werkstatt"

[Digits]

Possibly but needs to be sensible used off board in other settings me thinks

All looks amazing sir! The mdf box to building is great.

 Can I suggest making maybe a couple of different hoardings/signs and maybe magnetising them so the can be swapped? It would mean defacing your excellent work slightly but would add flexibility. If the sign was metal and the magnets recessed into the building (as long as it was sealed and varnished well enough) it could be double sided to save potentially losing the spare. Or you could use sheet magnet as the hoarding/backboard fixed to the building and have the signs on sheet steel (so you don’t have to brutalise your endeavours).

Thank you for posting such an inspiring improvement to an otherwise drab and forgettable building.

Keep up the good work,

Balm

Thanks fella.   Yes that’s also a possibility.   I will certainly think on…but it does need something….

David I did some signs for Ian's WW2 buildings,
some Russian & some German. That way he could
use the same buildings for either a German or Russian town.
I used mounting board (thick card) for the posters. These
can be held in place with tiny balls of Blue-Tac. They have
worked well so far.

We are actually thinking of reverse printing so it’s painted on the planking.  I can however think i could put a board over it when used in the port…so same idea almost.

Looks great with the paintjob!
My suggestion would simply be ,,Werkstatt" as workshop, it fits every setting, also a a German-occupied foreign country.

[Digits]

So….giving myself another challenge….turning this shoe box into another industrial looking  building that will sit alongside the one above…..probably with same paint scheme.

Give Dave the task of making a small workshop and he will produce an industrial estate.

Top job on the first building!

[Digits]

Ha! I promise this wing get too out of hand!   Once I’ve completed this next one…I will have to start in the sub own itself….

Anyway….need to think on this one…not as straight forward.

[Digits]

Ok…the answer was staring me in the face……nothing too difficult.  Using up some balsa lap fencing to created the “cladding” and popping in the vent left over from the above building, it will break the monotony of the whole building being plaster and brick.  The “skirt” around the balance will be plastered too.   This hides the slot connections.   This has meant I’ve lost the ability to pop minis in the top floor, but I can live with that…..so long as we know a unit in there….

The roof vents I found at the back of a drawer……I knew they would come in handy one day.

I need to texture the flat roof, and buy some pollyfiller as I’m out of it, but me thinks this shouldn’t look too bad.   I have a couple of the lamps used on the last one still, and I may in time make a lean too covered, corrugated  shed area to put up to it.   It will be easier to do that separately I think.

Going to look in my bits box in the garage to see if I can fashion some kind of chimney vent too.

Great start.

So far, so good!
