Das Blaue Haus

 The latest addition to the buildings for the Cold War Gone Hot 15mm project is another of LaserCraftArt's Large German house ~

The sharper amongst you will have seen that it's the Small German House basically with an added storey and a different side wall ~

I'm not sure what kind of business LaserCraftArt is, perhaps a hobby sideline, but the addition of a small house with that sidewall would add variety to the range, as would adding the Office's second storey to the run of Modern Shops.

I'm left now with some terraced houses and a shop to paint and that will be the buildings finished in this phase. I may have some vehicles by then from Phil to finish and base before looking at the factory complex which needs a bespoke base or bases cut by Warbases for me. Then of course there is the thorny issue of painting up some of the 15mm infantry...

  1. Another fine building there David. Having options for an additional storey etc really are one of the benefits of mdf buildings.

    1. You are right SteveJ, and in the smaller scale I think the shortcomings of MDF are less irksome.

  3. Very nice Dave.... A pink front door might have enhanced the effect though even more, don't you think?
