Spring of Scenery 2021 - Part 2: More desert building additions

As well as the connecting walls mentioned in part 1, I’ve added a couple of extra buildings to my desery town too, one of which will be a central point for a settlement. The basic structure is 5mm foamcore on an MDF base.

There are arched doorways forming an arcade along two sides, with a smaller inner room.  A three storey tower tops off the building, offset to be central over the small ground floor room.  This provides space for single figures on 2 sides or weapon teams (which I mount on 2p pieces) on the other two.

The base has been textured with a coat of brown acrylic caulk which was patted with a sponge.

5mm wide strips of cereal packet card have been applied to help hide the joins between the floors.

The whole building was textured with filler/PVA mix, stippled on with an old brush.  The cardboard strips were painted yellow to make the buildng a bit more colourful and help it stand out from all the others.

 I think I might add a half ping-pong ball to the roof to improve it.  Last photograph above shows a roof I borrowed from another building to show the effect I'm after.

The second building I've added is just a small storage building, nothing more than a bit of extra cover.  Again, foamcore walls, MDF base with brown acrylic caulk texture.  The ladder is made from trimmed down scraps of matchsticks.

It doesn't actually look much different when painted!
