The walls were stuck together and cross-wall-bits for the dormers added in the roof area as above.
Then came the tricky trial-and-error fabrication of the roof, which is made of the thin brick-embossed plasticard that is being a used a bit around here....
It's close, but not exactly to the design of the original. Don't look too closely....
With a little paint, and hidden a safe distance away among some trees, it looks a bit better (it's just sitting in there and hasn't been attached, so may not be located quite as straight and level as it will soon be). Then again, it may look worse after...
Overall this looks pretty good for a few hour's work. The scale looks ok, and, because it is grey all-over, it doesn't shout out at you to look at it, which is exactly what I'd hoped for.
