I posted a game report with a table featuring a greenhouse. It drew a comment from someone that it looked a rather sad and empty affair – no glass, no contents….no horticultural use! Now I wasn't going to put glass in but there were things I could do. The base model is a 20mm MDF greenhouse from Blotz. I've posted a full step by step on how I did it here Greenhouse

This was one of the images from the game report that inspired the comments:

So I took the offending greenhouse and set to work on an interior and a base:

The end result was something more acceptable I think. Full details if you follow the link.

Looking good.

Now, it just needs simulated glass, or clear plastic for the windows. Thin, clear, retail packaging should work just fine, when cut to size.

Then again, no glass survives first contact with the enemy :-)

I really like the spade, it makes the scene looked lived in.

Nice.

Astonishing.
Maybe add "broken glass" in the form of cut acetate? Also on the ground around?

Very cool. Well done.

Skip the glass.
Looks fine as is.
