My first attempt at resin building construction, I am amazed at how long this has taken and all the pitfalls that I fell into during the build. For example I didn't know about painting the inside to stop the illumination inside showing through the resin and that modern water based paints seem to have no covering power what so ever.
However now that it is finished I am pleased with it and now have a bit of experience under my belt to help me with the next building.
As I'm sure that a lot of you know this is a Modeltown kit, the exterior stone finish is a coat of motar colour masonry paint with various shades of grey applied lightly with a sponge. The masonry paints are tester pots from a well known Diy shed and windows etc ordinary model shop acrylics.
The interior illumination is achieved with a 5cm length of led strip from Maplins
and I think it is a bit dull in the photo as I'm running it off a 9v battery, eventually when installed on my railway it will be running from a 12v rail that I will be fitting
around the village scene.
