A Mik Challenge Extra, Allen would really appreciate these

A Building from a Box, or, us indoor guys can get away with M… U… R… D… E… R…}:-)>

While I was building the other models I usually have ideas that relate to things I have laying around On idea was taking a couple small boxes I had into cargo crates by wrapping them in popsicle sticks. I did a quick little bash and was pleased at the results:

As I got close to finishing the LSC Challenge I had a small cardboard box someone mailed something to me and that I kept but was only being used to hold flotsam, so I wondered If I could use it for a small building on the harbor layout…so…

Precision Plastics windows with glass blacked out:

Foamcore facade, and Precision Plastics door:

Let the popsicle sticking begin:

Wood corbelling trim added over door:

Painted:

More Paper Creek roofing:

Signs, adverts and inkwash… finished:

As I said, us indoor guys can get away with M… U… R… D… E… R…

Ya’ Know Vic…I feel Allen “would have” appreciated that!

What do you think he would have had to say about the Egg and Dart molding though?

He’s prolly ask “was it free?” yes sort of, it was old stock from Micheals, and “where’d ya get it” pulled it off a halloween platter I was making for a family party and the wife wanted a different trim, so rip! and into the parts box.
