A return from my Ranch isolation. Hound photos required:

The protected beasties
Under Construction Studio: Last challenge I managed to finish two Sarissa ruined European buildings and realized I had two more flats. This realization came as I ogled some cabins for FIW and my inner hobby voice commented "you said you would not buy more houses with other flats in the hobby cave".
Only one way to fix that.
Over the weekend I broke the seal on the remaining two ruined flats and proceeded to construct these little beasts. They are quite different to build as the buildings consist of 6 sections with 3 tiers. They are amazing as the brick work and planking all fit together (with a little force). One, I rattle canned the flats and added brush work after gluing the bugger together. The Second I put together and rattle canned the constructed building and did some distressing with the every handy make up brush. I'm not sure which works better. As the build is rather tedious I think four is enough.
The First Build:
I'm going for speed and a distressed look.
Second build:
The two side by side with a German battalion headquarters setting up shop for scale.
The completed 4 building block ready for action. (only two challenges to complete) Huzzah!

Added some color to the doors and some fallen brick and debris. Couldn't resist putting some battalion support in front while I had them out. The maps are out as Hauptmann Fritz and Neidermeir attempt to convince Oberstleutnant Hauk to push on to better accommodations.
Buildings are 7x7x4 so a cube per = 40 pts
Under Construstion Studio = 20 pts
Total for the week 60 pts
Everybody have a good week and stay safe.
Minion Miles: Love the distress look and the modular nature of the buildings. Plus you get the 1 point dog bonus!
