At Warfare 2024 I bought a number of buildings from Warbases' World War Two range, one of which was Pike's Office. The buildings will be used as an industrial estate for When Nightmares Come.
The building is fairly simple.
The roof (bottom right) will rest on the interior wall panels that provide the window frames and the door.
The interior wall panels (right).
Assembly is straightforward. Remove the base and the four walls from the "sprue" (there are connecting tabs holding the pieces to the "sprue", cut them carefully with a scalpel). Clean up the edges.
I have a glass plate I use for this sort of thing - not sure where it came from but it provides a flat surface that nothing sticks to.
Get some heavy pots to support the walls during drying.
Apply PVA glue to the edges of the base and the tabs on the edges of the walls. Then with your four hands bring the four walls together making sure they are aligned and vertical. Use the heavy pots to support the walls while they dry.
I used white wood filler to fill in any gaps on the walls and smoothed it off with sandpaper.
I used masking tape to mask the window and door spaces and the rooflights. I used masking tape to secure the interior panels in place and then added the roof. This effectively masks the interior of the building.
The whole exterior was then sprayed with Plastikote Rust effect spray to give it some texture.
Once dry, the tape was removed and the whole building (except the roof) including the interior panels was sprayed with TTCombat Skeleton Bone.
When that was dry, the window frames were masked on the inside and Humbrol 163 Dark Green was sprayed for the window frames and door.
The rooflights were glued to the roof and a Debris of War bin bag was added. The whole roof given a coat of Citadel Chaos Black spray.
The brick line was painted with Army Painter Fur Brown.
Now it is awaiting weathering and the brick detailing.
