Blue House
This is the first of three buildings I purchased from TT Combat form their World War range that I envisioned going together as a row. This is the 'Maison Amelie', which I imagined as a more well-to-do domestic home compared to the other two commercial shops. Here's how they all look together in a row.
I always want to produce a footprint for my buildings, with what might be included around the whole property. Buildings don't exist in isolation- they feel more believable if they have yards, gardens or whatever else surrounding them. To this end, I wanted Blue House to have a garden. I imagined it has being a corner property, so thought I'd have a garden entrance coming around to the front instead of to one side. this would leave the open side wall free for road signs, advertisements, etc. and the other one blank to sit next to the building beside it.
The garden walls are made from foam board, capped with cereal packet tiling. The paving stones and roof tiles, like all my other buildings, are done with the same material. In the garden, we have a seafoam tree in the corner, a cold frame from Warbases and some sunflowers I picked up on eBay.
The road sign comes from a Warlord battlefield clutter & signage set (not its proper title) and the other posters I printed off myself. I backed the Dubonnet sign with cardboard and added thin strips to create a frame.
