This is a resin 3d print of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4717749 with a completely different chimney, so I could add a humidifier to it, to make a smoke effect.

Also added was wills kits corrugated iron sheets, to improve the roof. Flashing on the roof was just tinfoil.

Since I finished this back in 2023, I've added red ladders up the chimney, to make it look like Fred Dibnah was there repairing the chimney (I place his land rover on the layout, next to it).

I'll try to find some pics of me painting it, so you can see how the painting progressed. But the basicis are: Prime>base colour > paint individual bricks many different shades of red, gray, orange (it will look like you have ruined it, but don't worry) > dark gray/brown washes and weathering powders to tone down the bright colours.

I found an in progress painting shot
