So quite a bit of progress recently, or at least it feels that way!

Comments, thoughts, questions, hints and tips are of course always welcome!

Anyway, here is what I have been up too...

Ive added another layer of brickwork to the long sides. As the corners will be viable i left them long for accurate trimming later...

This shows the extra length a little better...

I then moved onto the doorway, which I knew was going to be awkward! First i added the brickwork between the two walls on both sides, careful cutting and trimming was required!

Then I added the brick arches over the door. This was made up of thin pieces of embossed plasticard bent to shape. I cut the strips vertically out of the sheet of plasticard as i thought this looked more realistic and less like the bricks were curved when bent into the arch shape.

I then trimmed the little sliver of plastic off below the lowest arch

Added the layer of brickwork to match those id added before on the long sides

Trimmed all the long sides to sharp crisp corners, a slightly nerve wracking moment!

The turned my attention to the interior where I added the double layer of brickwork to match that on the exterior walls.

Then created the brick arch on the other side of the door to match that on the exterior. This one was a little more fiddely being in a small space, and wont really be seen. But I like knowing its there. The little bits of "thread" that you can see on the arch, are from where I was holding the pieces with tweezers, and these cleaned up quite well after I had taken the photo.

Still lots more to do, but I'm getting there!
