This was a very quick build using foamboard, filler, PVA glue and a few pins and set on a piece of MDF to add a little weight.
For the shutter I scored the card on one side of a piece of foamboard, then peeled away the foam and bent the shutter to shape and doped it with a little liquid superglue.
For gaming simplicity the roof comes off, it could have been fixed but as you, gamers, know that’s just asking for trouble when someone wants to get a figure inside or even forgets there’s a figure in there and it’s found a week later battered and bruised from being moved with a scenic.
One end is delicately ruined with plenty of room for figures, and a small hole in the wall for the occasional sniper.Although probably one of the simplest buildings I’ve ever made I think it’s a little cracker. I may well add open shutters to the other shops because it’s a small detail which brings it to life.

I hope you’ve got planning permission for all these lovely dwellings? They really do set the scene beautifully, excellent work Sir.
