1/32 scale Georgian Colonial houses (1 Viewer)

[Scott]

I saw Barzso's excellent Lexington Green buildings and I'm trying to make my own that will fit 1770s to the present. I drive past dozens of these Georgian Colonials from Gloucester thru Essex, Ipswitch, and Rowley, Mass, to and from work. There are variations of which the Barzso set represents, but I want the 5 window 2 story model. They have large central chimneys. I found a line drawing on-line and scaled it to as close to 1/32- 54mm as I could. This will give the spacing of windows and doors. So far.......

Looking good, but it looks awfully fiddly........how did you cut the foam?

Thank you. An Exacto knife and a combination square and protractor. I would like a table top radial saw like the one a local ship model builder uses. The windows are going to be "fun".

With a 3 day weekend I got this far on the houses. Maybe more next weekend. Plastic clapboard sheeting on one house. I need about 5 sheets to finish the house so this may be too expensive for the other one. Brick printed sheet on the
chimneys . Lots of finish work. One side will have open windows for inner battery lighting.
