Hey Gang,
Well I think its time to start the Apartment ruin build blog. So here we go.

I've not exactly figured out yet were I'm going to use this piece, time frame speaking. Like I stated in the review your only limited by our imagination with this piece and the Stucco/brick fausat, face, opens that door.

This is the first time working with Hydrocal plaster, so I wasn't sure how it would take to some sanding down the high spots on the interior walls of the kit. Unlike the Verlinden kits I've used before, this was something of uncharted territory.
To my surprise, the kit took the 220 fine grain sandpaper quite well. The Hydrocal is softer than the Verlinden kits I've worked with in the passed. Not alot of elbow grease needed to sand down the high spots.

Anyways, here the results.

BUILD ON HOLD. STARTED NEW DRIVING JOB. WILL START BACK UP IN AROUND 2 WEEKS. My apologizes to everyone whose looked into this build so far.

Drive safe and we will be looking forward to your return to the build!
Any idea what kind of diorama you might do?
Andy

Hey Andy,
I may put the M3 75mm in it, or the Quad w/ 25pdr. with it. Just depends. I've got some idea's.
Thx.

Aha ! interesting project: I'll follow this closely.
When sanding the inside walls, remember this is a ruin. Broken plaster, ripped wallpaper, damaged paintwork, throw in broken wooden floors at ground level and levels above, floor supporting beams, don't forget electric wiring, heating and plumbing leftovers and most of all a lot of rubble. Figure out how much of the building is missing from your wall: that's the amount of rubble you need to throw in. Then throw in pieces of glass, curtains, broken furniture...

For reference, there's no need to bomb your neighbour's house: there is lots of reference material on the internet.

enjoy:)

Hey Jan,
Thx, I'll take that into account during the build.

UPDATE: Taking this on the road, will restart this in a few days.

Hey Brian, Good luck with the new job. I used to take kits to work on when I'd get some place and have to sit all night.

Update: Sorry for the delay on this one gang.
Thx Bob, Jobs is going good for now. Been running my buns off with this outfit so not really had time for the assembly part, plus the M3 75mm build is lagging behind. Anyways, Hope to have something shortly on this build and the M3 75mm.

Thx all for your support.
