Modular construction

 

To keep painting simple, I'm building the goods shed as a series of module. The colours of the plastic provide a pretty good guide to the best way to split things up. 

One interesting feature - the base is moulded in grey, complete with walls. Th brick moudings, anoyingly in streatcher bond, are stuck on to this. Changing the material would be easy enough with some plastic card, I imagine a stone base would be very attractive.

Part fit is good. There's little or no flash, but some marks from the release pins used to shove the bits out of the mould will need a little attention. 

Another spot - the instructions sugged fitting the office windows from the inside, but the box photo clearly shows them fitted from the outside, complete with chunky frame so beloved of Airfix kits. I'll stick with the instructions here - it will look better.
