I wanted to desplay my Assassins Creed figure on something more than just a plain old shelf so I made this base for him. I started by making two cardboard boxes then I cut holes for the windows and door. All of the edges were taped over wiht masking tape and one box glued on top of the other. Next I carved a base for the building to sit in out of foam board and covered the flat bit at the base of the building with a sand and pva glue mix.Then I riped of the top layer of card board in some small places so the corrigated bit inside showed, then I mixed polly filler with pva glue and painted it onto the outside of the building with a stiff brush to give a rough textur like plaster.
The door, door frame and window frames were made from styrafoam pizza base with wood grain drawn in with a ball point pen. I cut garden mesh and glued it to the inside of the holes for the windows. Next I painted the building white and the sandy base was painted a dark brown, then both were dry brushed with a sandy yellow. I covered the inside of the building with black gaffa tape so you don't see any thing biu darkness throhgh the windows. Next I painted the door, window and door frames dark brown and dry brushed with a lighter redish brown and glued them all in place. I cut a shape the same as the lowwer roof out of an old beach matt and glued in place then painted, then the ladder and roof edging were made from wooden kebab squers and I added a dolls house floor matt glued to a wooden rod and hung with wire hooks.
