CONSTRUCTING BUILDINGS
Many people have asked how I build
my basic buildings....To start with there are many outstanding
companies that sell great looking structures ($$) I came up
with this very low cost approach to constructing buildings. It's
very easy and very inexpensive and in a small amount of time you can
have an entire city built
Step 1

To start with I buy a sheet of
Styrene..I like the 1/8th squares (tile) Most hobby stores have these in
stock
Step 2

Now trace out the buildings you
want to make...This one will be a small shop with a work bay
Step 3

Now cut out the windows and
doors..I find a razor with a thick blade works best..(like the one
shown)
Step 4

Now cut out the walls..I found
it easier to work with the large sheets cutting out windows and
doors first..rather than the other way around
Step 5

Now simply glue the walls
together
Step 6

Now glue on a roof..a good pair of
scissors works best...Just get it close in size. Glue it on and then
trim it up with the scissors
(For the roof.. I used a plain
piece of styrene)
Step 7

Now you can sand the edges if
you want and paint it..I normally use a flat aerosol color (I'm
lazy)
