It's been a few days since I worked on these, work and a cough so rough that it would be just plain
foolish to put a sharp blade anywhere near my fingers. With my coughing fits becoming fairly predictable I decided to finish off the
Grand Hotel that I started a few nights ago. The veranda on this model is fairly tricky and the whole building took me close to 2 hours this time. The
Dry Goods took on 15 minutes this time though as I've worked out a few construction tricks, especially with attaching the roof. I even attempted to attach the chimney to the
Grand Hotel. I think I've thrown out the chimney cap with the offcuts from the other night so I'll have to print another one out.
The veranda on the hotel is strong, it took
six metal miniatures with no visible sagging or bending.
The bending you can see in the hotel veranda is due to me bending the tabs too short and in turn making the upright struts too long, the uprights are really eye candy and offer little to no real support to the veranda.
I should easily get through both sets of the buildings before the next Badga meet in under a fortnight, I may even grab another set or two and try for a really impressive table.
