Cornice installed

I glued the cornice to the walls. I know this seems like something that hardly needs mentioning, but it involved cutting up the triangular end pieces to free-up their base sections, and trimming back some of the long, straight sections to fit the new wall lengths. Sounds boring when written down, but was quite interesting because the new building shape slowly revealed itself as each piece was cut, fit, and glued in place. Once done, the walls were taped back together to see how everything fit. 


This is a used kit and it looks like the previous owner gave all the walls a thin, black wash to age them and make the details stand out. I'm going to paint the whole thing an aged concrete to unify the pieces and bring the colour inline with something I might see here.
