Shedding

 My Warbases order from the tail end of October arrived, after sp-ending 2 weeks in Customs limbo. Their MDF scenery is a bit different from Sarissa, the doors feel smaller (still have to measure) and their floor pieces don't nock into the walls on the 3 items I've built today.

In this case it's Large Concrete Hut, Small Concrete Hut and Lean-to Greenhouse. They are ok, nice detail. While taking everything from the panels of MDF I noticed they had used the empty spaces to cut bases out of, so you get less weight and they get more bases to sell. This also means you have a lot less waste.

As I said the bases on the Huts are not keyed so you just glue the walls together around the base. Just make sure the working surface is flat and you should be fine. The details of the door and windows are seperate MDF parts you glue in. I left out the door on the smaller one and left out the MDF section with the window as well and just glued in a bit of left over MDF sprue, Works just as well. Then added windowsills to both and a doorknob to the Large Concrete Hut door. The Greenhouse is lovely if a bit ....barren? 5 pieces including the door and that is it. I've added a bit of scrap MDF as a ledge to put plantpots on (I'll cut up some beads for those) and left the door off for now, but I will glue that in tomorrow.

Now, I've run into the slight issue that what I intended to use the Greenhouse for....doesn't work. The door opening is on the wrong side. I've asked Warbases if one of my friends can pick up some more of those at Warfare this weekend. He should be back from the UK somewhere mid January and then I can build one mirrored. The brickwork will be on the inside, but the outside can just be weathered concrete. No issue there.

Oh, I did add card strips to the small of the 2 huts. Will do the same with the big one tomorrow, it really helps with the look and the paint job.

A few more weeks and all the renovation of the house should be done, I'll be out of the noise and back to peace and quiet and back to more painting.

Only the Greenhouse is...well, was, meant for Stalker, the other 2 are more generic. But more about that once they are done.
