Satriale's from the Sopranos
it's been a while..
It has been a while but I have got a fair bit done
Starting with the left most building out of the two.
I rolled the walls with the brick roller and filled in the gaps with milliput on the corners and rolled over these as well. I then tried to merge this corner part into the main wall to be seemless, some worked better than others.
I also did the same for the removable roof
If you look at the pictures I eventually cut out the middle part between the two windows as satriales has a long window split by metal window inserts rather than a wall.
Because of the above I had to create a frame for the long window but also glued on both the front door and the back door frames.
Then I glued black course sandpaper to the roof to act as a tarmac. I used gorilla glue and some seeped out of the overlap between sheets of sandpaper, I went with this and made it as the tar join as if the roofs had been repaired.
I left the right most wall clear as I am unsure what to do here. I want it to be able to stand by itself but for the most part it will be hidden by the second building. I think I will do something simple like wall filler to give it a concrete look
the bumps on the roof edge are where the roof and sides meet and connect unfortunately. this will be hidden mostly by the satriales sign.
The second building I have done the same, rolled with the brick roller the 3 walls, filled the corners with extra milliput and then rolled these and tried to smooth them in
I then stuck lollipop sticks to the furthest wall as the satriales building has a brick facia for the most part but the side most pictures show it goes into a wooden house. I have a spare barn which I might use as this (however I also wanted to convert it to an old pub which is situated near me)
So I gave this a wooden side so I could atleast nod at the parking lot side of the building.
I then added sandpaper to the roof, which didnt work *as* well because of the slight difference in the building
I then stuck on the door frames and windows which were the generic ones I got with the building.
You may notice white bits here and there, that is where ive used filler to fill in gaps around the windows.
