I decided to make this kit as a run-down and disintegrating structure but am finding that difficult due to the construction methods utilised in a laser cut kit. That's no reflection on the kit which is beautifully put together. I think I will have to re-think the degree of collapse and just make a seedy, just-abandoned building instead. Sort of a Sellios treatment.
The wood bits ready for the off
Construction
I attempted to distress the timber as much as I could but the hard ply material doesn't lend itself to this treatment very well, unlike basswood. Anyway after scraping until I got bored I weathered all the wood with weak washes of black and brown aniline dyes diluted with isopropyl. I then started the construction phase as per the instructions. I will add some interior detail that may just be visible through the large front windows. Perhaps I'll model it with builders going in and out on a refurbishment job, that might give scope for some detailing fun.
