Terrain Weekend

Bryan and I took some time to paint up and assemble some of the buildings I had cut out with the laser.  I have to say that the painting took longer than expected.  The assembly on the kidney shaped building did too.

The results?  Here are some pics of the building and catwalks we assembled. 

Learned plenty on this weekend.  The prime and paint we used made the process of painting these buildings longer than it needed to be.  There were some problems with a few of the building segments that we found when we assembled them.  We found that very thin segments could be quite brittle.  There's a set of windows with a thin sill that are just waiting to be broken by a misplaced hand.  Also, the kidney shaped building was a fail.  Took a lot of time to design, cut and assemble and the finished product looks cheap and amateur.

The buildings we did assemble have the designed effect.  Cheap, simple, effective terrain that's strong, fully functional and storable.  Below are some pictures of those buildings in storage mode.  All the buildings are storable in russian doll mode.

The building below is all three buildings stored in one.

Next steps:  Lots of touch-ups yet to do on the paint.  Plenty of other building, painting and assembly to do.  I have an L-shaped building and a balcony building designed.  I'd also like to recut the roof of one building roof that's pretty sloppy.
