Warehouse Row - Building #1 - Floors and Windows

Still moving forward, albeit slowly. I started gluing supports for the floors on to the inside of the walls. Then, of course, I ran out of the styrene I was using so I moved on to something else. I figured maybe it was time to actually try and cut out some windows and see how that would go. Actually it went surprisingly well. This particular version of PVC is not quite as hard as the Sintra brand. That made cutting out the first set of windows quite easy. The downside is that you can practically dent this stuff just by looking at it. It makes it a reasonable choice for substructure but definitely has to be covered with something. I also wanted to make sure that the wall was thick enough. I'm happy with how it looks at this point. However, in the last photo I put one of the buttresses in place and it looks to thin. I may need to double up the thickness of these to make them look right.

Windows cut out and test fitted (yes, I cut the openings to short).

A closer look so you can really see how deep the windows are set.

And with a buttress in place. It looks to thin compared to the depth of the windows.
