here's the final installment of my building flat kitbash project.

Once the sections were all painted, I glued all the sections side by side using pieces of leftover sprues as bracing. I installed window panes behind all the windows using clear plastic cur from packaging recycled from Christmas presents. Almost everything you buy comes with free clear plastic these days. I use testors model cement to attach the glazing. Then I cover the glazing with paper to represent either curtains etc or just black paper to represent a dark interior. I use white glue to attach the paper.  In this photo I am using a piece of plain old printer paper which I corrugated using a Fiskars paper corrugater. It's hard to tell from the pictures but in real life the corrugated paper looks a lot like hanging draperies when viewed through the window.

 If your wife is into scrapbooking or making greeting cards, you should buy her one of these corrugaters.

the hotel on the far right will eventually get a detailed interior photo on the ground floor and some signage on the outside

the ivy is made by making a trail of white glue and sprinkling on some course ground foam

I'd also like to add a few

I'd also like to add a few more deatails add a later date. particulary, a couple fire escapes and drainpipes and some grafitti

right now the flats are just leaning against the wall but I will most likely attach them with some of that blue stuff that's supposed to be for hanging posters - what is that stuff called anyway?
