Default Re: Coroplast scale buildings

Next up to build was a house. I want to make a few homes to create a small neighbourhood. Problem was, although I plan on leaving these buildings outdoors for the summer I still need to bring in the house for winter and all these buildings will take a lot of space. The other thing is wanting to be able to bring my buildings to our club RC shows that we travel to and once again, space is an issue.
So, thanks to this Coroplast boards I had an idea about how to make a building that could be assembled and then disassembled and stored flat.

All started like this....








All one piece and became this....











The corner piece I made using same material and a glue gun to secure the top corner where the panels meet.





Making the front steps....









And a video showing ease of assembly....... http://youtu.be/XvXt94oCL5Q

Latest building is a 3 storey, started as a apartment but turned into a office building. My RC trucking company needs a head office right?

Just like the house, one piece and using 1/8 wooden dowels to secure to the base. Still easy to assemble, just a little more awkward than the house but it is much larger. Still lots to do but figured I'd share where it's at right now.
I used the same type of fabric that covers the garage but I didn't want it to look the same color so I gave it a skim paint job with some of that textured brown paint in a spray can. I'm ok with the results for now..... Worst case scenario, it's only spray adhesive holding it on and can probably peel off and try something else if need be.

Anyway, here it is with all its freaking windows! no idea why I put so many I have to individually size and cut each and every window trim to fit. Oh well, labour of love anyway.
