A buildings update

 I seem to be operating in extreme summer mode at the moment, spending very little time on the blog. One project I am getting on with is building card models for a 20/25mm Newhaven to supplement the 28mm version.

This is the base model. I'm experimenting all the time as to how to do these - main idea is red brick buildings with a range of doors/windows, including shops. My intention at the moment is to have 12 - 16 of this standard design. 

This is where I am up to with larger buildings - tower blocks, factories, etc. Roughly joining three of these into an 'H' shape will give me a basis for the university or possibly a hospital. Well, the H design is based on Norman's Riding, so a hospital building is a given!

I considered different ways of doing doors and windows but finally just decided to make most buildings with various clipart doors and windows - many of these have been modified to increase the range, for example a stretched window can become a door, two doors (one a reverse image) put together to make double doors!
