The cardboard 'core' has been clad with insulating foam, the sort used as underlay for laminate flooring. The foam has been glued in place with a mix of PVA and superglue. Once fully set, I have trimmed the foam to fit the core and then lightly sanded the edges to make them flush.
The next job was to cut out the windows and door (see previous post) and then start the laborious task of adding the brick texture.
Each scale brick was 8mm x 2,5mm and first had the horizontal cuts made with a scalpel guided with a steel ruler the individual bricks were cut with a scalpel and then later opened up with a sharp pencil. This process took most of the day, but as I was watching/listening to the tennis the time went quickly.
The roof was clad with thinner card and glued in place with the PVA and superglue mix.
The next post will show how I have started to add detail to this low profile building.
