Not much done on this recently (too many other RL bits in the way this week...) but the front stairs, door mouldings and porch rooftops are almost ready for moulding....

Looks good.
Puts my EoTD buildings to shame.

Could you do one that fits inside an A4 copier box (easier for storage)?

Would it be suitable for a 1900 legation building for China?

This one is 158mm w x 250d x 215h to the top of the chimney pots.....other buildings will vary in size, both bigger and smaller...aiming to produce a whole town's worth eventually, including all the obvious horror tropes like a church, warehouse/factory, city hall, seedy cheap housing, fancy town shopfronts, rundown shack, creepy barn, town bandstand, roadside store/petrol station & pumps....any other horror/period tropes I've missed?

Well that's me skint for 2013! This sounds brilliant. I'd look to use them for pulp, WWII and modern zeds. That one statement has stopped me buying anyone else's stuff till I see what's coming from Ian.

Awesome Ian, thank you!
I'll just have the depth and width in mind when I plan the streets, and then we'll see what happens :)

Awesome job by the way, and I do really look forward to this release! :-*
Any price thoughts yet? :)

Yes  ;)

Hoping to have pre-order deals up in the next couple of days....assuming the power comes back on in the main building so I can get the last few bits done on the laser.....

Well, the power's been off in the main building from 8am 'till 4pm, so the planned finishing details haven't been cut out today.

Just had time to test cut the first run of ironwork for the roof, though...

There was me thinking how much I wanted one of these, but it would not fit into a British setting.
Then I remembered that this building is only down the road from my workplace and realised that it just might work:







"One of the most architecturally interesting buildings in the area is at 549 Lordship Lane. The so-called "Concrete House" is a derelict grade II listed building and is an example of 19th-century concrete house. It is believed that it is the only surviving example in England.[7]
The Concrete House was built in 1873 by Charles Drake of the Patent Concrete Building Company. In 1867 the builder had patented the use of iron panels for shuttering rather than timber."



It is currently being restored.

It just might work!
