Taking s couple of my Fury tanks to a show so thought, as it's a tabletop display, I'd do a couple of building fronts to use as a backdrop. Made a start on a Bierkeller/hotel..

Looks good. I assume that is foamboard. If so, be wary when you paint it. I sprayed mine with acrylic using an airbrush,and it warped. The moist caused the paper fibres to shrink, warping it towards the sprayed side. That was Tamiya paint and Tamiya thinners. I did one other wall using a Tamiya rattle can and that was OK.

I searched on the Internet for German WW2 posters and then printer the images off. The details aren't great for full size prints but for 1/16th they look okay.

Like your photos, some curtains will add some depth.

Now you need this lolImageImage
A type of resin carpet stuff I brought back from Dortmund intermodelbau last year, the cobbled street is already on a plinth but I also have a sheet of roof tiles and a few different wood plank sheets. The plinth is oversized for 1 tank or 2 at a push lol
