Liquor Store - Warbases

At Salute, I planned to buy some Wild West buildings from Sarissa, but they did not have any stock. So I was looking through the Warbases models.

The first building I have started is the Liquor Store model. 

Interestingly, there is a number of circular "holes" in the sheets - the company name probably answers the question, I assume that they are bases that have been removed.



The building as supplied will sit "flat" on the surface, but I thought it would look better (and deal with irregular surfaces better) with the base raised using lengths of 4mm square section bass wood.
The outer ones are full length, the middle one is in two parts.
The roof has a noticeable groove where the two panes join, a length of 1.5mm diameter plastic rod was added to smooth that over. Three lengths of single ply tissue paper was then glued to the roof to act as tar paper.

The walls were painted with Vallejo Old Wood, the floor and frames were painted with Army painter Oak Brown.


Additional tidying up is required and it needs weathering.
