Grubman,

As usual, great stuff!

How long do you think it took you to scratch build that porch? How about to paint the building?


Well, I cut the base about a week ago, when I did all the other bases.  

Last night I glued the building together and glued it to the base (I used model glue for the building and Elmers glue in exess to glue it to the base after scoring the plastic) and let it dry overnight.

I built the porch in about a half hour.  Carving all the plastic crap off the roof and floor is what took so long, it was at an odd angle.

The rest of the building I just sort of picked at inbetween all the other things I had to do today...which was good because it gave paint time to dry, and me time to relaxe.

I also worked on a few odds and ends inbetween, like the outhous which I finished, and the windmill, which isn't done.

All in all I would say it took about 3-4 hours from start to finish, if you combined it all (painting up the signs took the longest).  Buildings are fun because I like to be sort of "sloppy" when I do them.  I think they look better, a little more "realistic" if they aren't really perfect.  I might be wrong, but I lke the way they look. :)
