| The Front of the 'Annex' |
After the problems of wrong sized walls, roof etc. I did have a few print-outs left over as well as some pieces from the 'wing' with the 'four' window strip pieces (rather than all the others with three windows strips). Rather than bin these bits, I've glued them together to make yet another building to add to the grey complex, be it university, med-research lab or its original intended purpose as a hospital.

| The cobbled-together roof |
Even this build from the scrap bits came with its own problems - namely the roof. Yet again, I needed another print-out of a roof but unfortunately, once more, it came out the wrong size! (Who'd have thought ?) Getting rather bored of these shenanigans I cobbled together a roof from the two undersized roof pieces, which fittingly matched the roof made from a couple of bits of scrap foamboard.
The centre strip was covered with a shaped piece of foamboard covered with another scrap of roof print (of a slightly different colour).
So here's another view of the finished piece,; its footprint is about eleven inches square and is about 5 inches in height.
As a bonus, whilst waiting for glue to dry, prints to arrive and so on, I got to work on some more roof exits for my tenements.
They're nothing to 'write home about' really as they're just boxes packed with a bit of foamboard with a card roof added; I did manage to make another seven giving me a grand total of eight - halfway to what I need to give each tenement
one - so there will be no more camouflaged roof hatches in the future!

| Boring roof-top view (try and spot Sid to relieve the boredom) |
Here's a view of several of them on the terrain used in my last scenario.
Hopefully you can see that I have managed to vary the colours slightly.

| Another view - slightly more boring than the last |
In other news, I'll be continuing to make HVAC type things for more roof-top furniture for next week and I've managed to pick up a paint-brush and paint a couple of figures (though not zombie related - they're not even human!) as I've been feeling a lot better lately, despite some more unexpected, very minor surgery - These are the first figures I attempted since March (and my painting hasn't improved any). They're for my other on-going gladiator project and can be seen on my other blog
HERE I'll also take this opportunity to welcome another follower Gordon Richards who has the very interesting blog
"I have wrought my simple plan".
That's it then for this week, thanks for taking the time to read.
