Help needed with my first scratchbuild

[Thunderchicken]

Thanks chaps, that is great advice to help me finish the job. I knew you wouldn't let me down. I have to admit I've already had some advice from various members while the intial build was in process.

former user, I get my plasticard sheets from Antenocitis Workshop or my local wargming shop (when he has them in). You're right it's not cheap. Dont forget Outpost sell some rather nifty generic frontages you can use. I'm about to order some bits from them:

Dewbakuk, I thought about guttering but I'll def be putting some on my next build.

gamer Mac, I've based it on some 3mm hardwood, it hasn't warped yet.  The boiler is a HO scale oil storage tank from Knightwing. Svennn put me onto the site and there's some nice goodies on there for industrial builds:

Wonderful that Neil    and you're a git because my first attempt was only bin worthey 

I think you've used brick sheet for the roof, but no matter, it looks great as it is. What you could do is paint a patch of tiles a slightly lighter colour so it gives the impression that a nef crashed into it at some point 

Is there access to the inside?

cheers

so it gives the impression that a nef crashed into it at some point 

That'll be one of your nefs then. 

I was a bit cheeky using the stone sheet but from 2ft away it works... I think  Next time I'm going to try gamer Mac's and Overlord's individual cardboard tile system. Wish me luck!

Unfortunatley there's no access to the inside, I lost my bottle and made the build as simple as I could. Then again a nef smashing into it could change all that.

Before you start cutting individual cardboard tiles, check Antenociti's roofing section (usually out of stock for the bits I want) as they have strip of them in various styles. Personaly the time saved is probably worth the cost but I haven't managed to get any yet.

It won't happen again, especially when big brother gets finished and comes out to play 

By the way, there's a PM on it's way.

cheers
