Fourth Polish House - a bit posher

After three rather modest houses for my 1939 model Polish village, it was time to add a bit posher one, for the big man in town.

I was inspired by a pic from a Polish museum village or open air museum - sorry, don't know which, my Polish is sadly lacking.

The end and rear walls were done in the usual way: coffee stirrers on styrene sheet, with matchstick window frames.

The front wall was provided with a boot room

The roof halves look nice like this, in reality I had to brace the rears to stop them from warping.

A moment of silence please for the hundreds of coffee stirrers who were sacrificed for this building.

A few supports added to stiffen the structure a bit.

Not one, but two chimneys! Styrene, obviously.

And everything put together.

Walls painted, roof primed with chalk paint.

Roof washed, chimneys painted.

Framing painted. Possibly attracted by the appropiate colours of the wall, a Soviet batallion command took possession of it already.
