At this point I need to mount this on some kind of base. The original is now to small as it was defined for a shallow relief structure. I cut some 3mm Sintra (Foamed PVC) and laid out the building location along with the sidewalk and curb.
Of course nothing goes perfectly the first time and I had forgotten how easy it is to make impressions in the Sintra. Just drawing on it will create a depression and being ham-fisted I put a bit to much weight on my mechanical pencil.
I scored each of the correct lines with a knife then I when back a blunt sculpting tool. I'm hoping that the paint will fill in offending mistakes since they aren't terribly deep.

| Starting the layout. Plenty of missteps at this point as far as proportions. All of which left light score lines...oops |
 |
| Once I was happy with the proportions I scored it with a knife then ran this blunt sculpting tool to widen and deepen the grooves. |
 |
| Here is the front of the building on the base. I think it looks pretty good. |
 |
| I still need to cut out the curb for truck loading. Shouldn't take to much work. |
