Like the title says, I’ve finished the building on the small sized Q building from Bandua.

I admit that I have been kind of dragging my feet of this one. I think because I’m not overly thrilled with it.
The model was completed like my other buildings. The stucco was painted in craft paints and washed with thinned paints. Then the roofing was completed with textured plastic sheet and painted. This time I tried some Secret Weapon wash. I used their sewer water shade and I think that worked okay. When it was dry, the whole structure was coated with a spray on dull satin varnish by Krylon. (It’s much less costly than Dolcote!)


Overall, I’m okay with the results. The initial building was small so that affects the completed project. The stairs at the end are inaccessible by a figure with a 30mm base which is unfortunate. It is listed as an Infinity building and they use 30mm bases so I’m not sure what they were thinking. The shed area still needs a forge model, bellows, anvil and a smith miniature to man it, but those can come later. Or, it can be a woodworker’s shop. I don’t know…
I don’t think I’ll buy any more of the Bandau buildings due to their small sizing. (I still have the medium one and a couple of the small medieval looking house models.) Modifying can make for a fun and challenging project but the base structure of this one is just too small and requires too much time. It would have been easier to start with a blank sheet of mdf and make my own from scratch.
From this…

To this…
Just add wood, glue, stucco, paint, plastic and a great deal of time. Not my favorite of my buildings, but I think it’s useable. At least more so than before.
