Two more buildings - Volg and the Corner Turret.

I've slowly pottered on and built two more buildings over the past few days.

In the real town of Wassen, between the Hotel Alte Post and the Sustenpass road there are a string of buildings. My feeble memory thought there was only one (the handy Volg supermarket where one could grab a banana and a bar of chocolate for the days railfanning and a small bottle of wine or Champers for the evening's piccy-processing) but it turns out there are a string of five of them.... The Alte Post is just to the right of the Volg with a walkway between them.

Such a  pain there is very limited Google Streetview in Wassen. I'd only left space on the layout for the Volg, or at a pinch one and a half buildings, but as there is this rather tasty building on the Sustenpass corner (below),  that deserves to be included:

And that would leave me room for about 60% of the Volg.

And so with much mucking about, the following has emerged. I thought the corner turret might look a little silly in white so I made it yellow to stand out a little. It's all built on a slope because the road outside is on a grade. Artists licence applies in other areas as well...

The turret was made from a Tamiya wooden paintbrush - they are longer than they need to be :)   and have no taper to their wooden shaft. I whacked off the end, stuck it in a drill and applied sandpaper until it conformed to the right shape at both ends. A tiny thin strip of card went around the top to represent rain spouting or somesuch, and more paper was applied to fill in the bigger-than-needed hole in the roof shingles. Just looking at the prototype pic, I need to add a spike on top of it.

As usual things are a little wonky and skonky in places, and they certainly looks far better from across a large room than up close, but it's passable on the layout.

(p.s. none of the buildings in the foreground have been glued down so they all have random leans to them.  Not that I expect that to improve wildly when they are stuck down !
