I initially picked this out to order based on the drawings on the JR Miniatures website. I am trying to limit the WW2 stuff I do to FoW and SOTR. The former will be further limited to the North African theater as I feel like the armies were still on an equal plane.

The building is made from a plaster and concrete hybrid that is heavy. It's very similar to Excalibur dental plaster. The details allowed with this medium are pretty impressive, but this is a pretty crude model. Take a gander at the windows to see what I mean. The lines are gouged out of the master and not based on pieces of styrene cut out to make the window panes.

I used a light tan and then drybrushed it with Bleached Bone for the highlights. I then sealed the building with Glass and Tile Medium from the craft section at WalMart. This is a good matt coat for some things but I used it because it would close up the plaster and allow me to use a stain technique for further detailing. I used an Olympic stain that is a dark brown and then wiped it off with a paper towel. The detail was *just* enough to provide a good look with this technique. I'm satisfied with the way the piece turned out but probably will not buy another or recommend it to anyone.
