Since I decided to put the 5 & 10 on a corner facing my house, I still need another building for the other corner. Poking around the web, I found this old bank located in Poulan Georgia.
I don’t need another bank, but I like the look of the building and it seems a LOT easier to make than the 5 & 10. 
I plan for this to be an office. First, I created a mock up in cardboard.
For this one, I thought I’d try Scale Art Models windows and doors. On the web site, they have the dimensions in scale inches and actual inches, making it easy to print them out to exact size. I cut them out and taped them in place. I’m still undecided about whether or not I should leave the paneling underneath the windows. I kind of like the look, especially since I’ve decided to NOT use the pillar - it just looks out of place. Hopefully the corner won’t collapse without that support. :o One of the things I like about the prototype is the interesting brickwork. I used some 6mm PVC board for the lower part of the wall, and a combination of 6mm and 1/8" PVC to form the top pieces. These are glued in place using my Weld-On 16. I wish I had ordered some 1/4" PVC board, as it would make some of the measurements a bit easier; but I already had the 6mm stuff in stock.
Next, I cut some 1/8" stuff into 1/8" wide strips and glued them in place to form the alternating brick look.
I added some thin strips of styrene to the walls. Later this will all be covered by brick sheet strips to give the look of different layers.
I won’t add the final layers until I’m ready to do all four sides. For now, I put in the inner layers.
Now I just have to wait for my order of windows and doors to arrive before I cut out the openings.
It does make everything go a tad faster. I’m thinking I’ll use that chimney; I’m not sure what I’ll use for venting.
