Hotel Alte Post - 1

One of the most distinctive buildings in Wassen is the Hotel Alte Post.

This was the first place I stayed on my first visit to the town (above), and just had to be included in the sample of buildings that will populate my model Wassen town.

Construction started using the usual random gustimating and drawing and re-drawing of lines until it looked about right, followed by some knifular commitment:

As usual, windows were cut out from the wooden frontage, and a card backing sheet cut so that the windows could be later drawn onto it. This also stiffens up the structure nicely and provides the white concrete lower floor.

Windows (badly) drawn and some details added in a slightly crooked fashion:

Yes, the entrance door is supposed to be offset a bit like this, but I'm a little off on my windows in the floor above (there should be fewer on the left-hand bunch). Drat. Hopefully nobody will notice...

A little paint, and it's starting to look half decent - when viewed from a considerable distance:

More to come... Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.


And a finally, a thank you to Mr Anonymous, who has pointed out that the mysterious building I had labeled the Town Hall in the previous posts is actually a school.  I've since corrected these. Cheers. I'm glad we've finally found a useful use for the internet - sharing information. Apparently it's not just for porn, vanity, scammers and to give vain and vile dickless morons a platform for sharing their hate and stupidity afterall...  RIP the Christchurch 50.
