A few months ago I finished upgrading the two buildings that came in the Suicide Squad box. I had said in the post that I actually made 4 buildings out of the two you get. The buildings are really nice double sided card. One side was a run down looking building with graffiti, while the other was side was a little more well kept.
I peeled off one side of the card and glued it to some foam core. Then I rebuilt them and added some card to the corners to hide the seam. I made a ledge with some quarter round and designed the roof to look more natural.
A few gargoyles where added to hide the holes from the old roof support. I then used some fancy wood trim below the roof ledge to help hide the seam. This trim really makes a difference and is a big improvement from the first buildings.

Wow! This is a clever way to get dirty-cheap buildings! I'll totally take this idea thanks a lot for the tip!
ReplyDeletethanks! I was very happy how they turned out. One problem I had was trying to get the corner strips to glue down. I dont think the glue sticks well to the high gloss paper of the buildings. maybe a quick coat with a Matt varnish first would help?
