I bought a lot of buildings for a zombie game, and here is my first one that I made, using the old Plasticville buildings. I have a long way to go. This is my very first building. Not too bad. link Tom |

Very nice work.
I have a bunch of them to and have yet to get started on them.
How did you do the brick sides?
Textured plastic card on top of the plasticville side walls? |

Nice work! You're well on your way to a very nice locale for zombie atrocities. |

Thanks to all. I bought some plastic bricks off ebay…..JTT Architectural Model parts Brick O-Scale. I glued them on after spraying them with ruddy brown, then I used some white weathering dust with a drop or two of water. Then dull coated in place. Worked out well, but I am a bit rusty still at it. I have not done much weathering so it is a new learning curb. I read a lot about it and planned it all out before starting, which helped. If I do not have any interior detail, I just dull coat the windows. I will be making a post office and a Gun shop next, they are primed drying now. Probably use a lot of boards on the windows on the gun shop. The plasticville side walls suck. Almost like a plastered wall or something, not sure what they were going for. I just paint them however and weather. The Brick idea was one of the last things I thought of, which would make them blend much better with the 8 Rail King buildings I have, which are outstanding. I just need to weather them up. Tom Thanks for looking! |

That is a great looking building. Plasticville is a great source of building for 28mm zombie stuff. I think I must have at least 14 different buildings. |

Nice work, now do about 15 more and you are done! |

Looks great -I really like your brick wall!
There could be a bit more grffiti/scrawls, now they look a bit, erm, placed. Bit more dirt and roughness to it and it'll look awesome.
Must look into Plasticville a bit more…
