Such fantastic pictures of your work. Thank you for sharing them!
I use lots of bass and balsa wood in my builds and find it super easy to use - glad to see your methods.

In this weeks digest, Andy mentioned Rallyhub's Pub.
I hope you will find it interesting to see how it is made:
Hub
Cutting the 5mm foam board. A photo of a pub, found on the internet, served as an example.
Rear of the pub with its base plate of 3mm plywood. The balsa wooden window frames are almost ready

More detailing follows:
The inside of the building is painted black. Cutting the curtains made from old towels.
Cutting sandpaper strips... ...and gluing them on a sheet of cardboard.
Still a lot of sandpaper roof slates to do. The pub is almost weatherproof now.

Now we're going up on the roof:
The roof lead is made from a grey painted strip of paper. Pushing the roof lead into the edge.
Weathering of the roof slates with several colours. Some slates are lifted somewhat with a screwdriver to get an aged effect.

Finally, some pictures of the rain gutters and the lighting:
Gutters made from 1/2 brass tubes with braces from paper. The lamp caps are made from M6 hexagon domed cap nuts, acc.DIN 1587.
The gutters and drain pipes glued to the pub walls. The result.
I hope you liked the photo report about the building process of the pub.
