I'm moving on to the railside of building #1, where everything started. I had previously "bricked" the inside of this wall and added supports for the floor. This has created a fairly significant bow. I'm hoping that by adding the brick to the exterior side that I'll pull the wall back to being flat, fingers crossed.
The buttresses for this wall are ready to go so I decided to mark off the wall for those areas that are going to receive some decorative treatment so that when the time comes I'll be gluing to the PVC foam rather than to paper. Pictures tell the story better than me.

Checking to see how much shorter the buttresses need to be. |

Marking off the "no glue" zones. |

Laying out the brick. |
|
Buttresses have set and aren't going anywhere. Bonus the wall is now flat again! |
|
Started cutting out and folding back the brick for the first window. This is going to be very tedious. And note the color shift when you accidentally let a drop of water hit the paper before you have sealed it. That nice lower left brickwork is now stained and, bonus, only part of that will be cut out because that's a large window there and not a door. |
