Lake Town in need of Spring Cleaning!
Some more detailing, making progress.
Spent some time thinking about other ways to detail, add visual interest and tie the scratch builds to the kits.
One challenge I faced was that that the pitched roofs also fold in under the eaves, making an unusual over hang at each end. I could just flatten them with cardboard triangles (and may do that on some) but for this one I thought I’d stretch myself a little. Cutting one of those shelf corners at the right angle, it fits really neatly as a gable-end dormer. Not anything I’ve seen in real life, but looks kinda right for a fantasy world.
You can see here that I’ve also glued one to the roof as a dormer. Once tiled and detailed, it’ll fit right in.
I also glued on a door from the GW kit. I’ll be using these on the scratch-builds to further tie them aesthetically to the other kits. Along with the generous supply of other details on those sprues, I’m hoping they’ll look contiguous.
You might notice that the door sits rather proud of the walls there. Once I add support beams either side and a very small tiled porch, I’m hoping it’ll blend right in.

Ah thank you! Watched the video just now. Agree on the worry that will I be able to get the scratch builds looking as detailed as the GW kit. Hopefully my scribing tool and liberalise of little accessories for details will solve those challenges!
