5.14. Naughtright Public Library
The library was simply a space-filler that faced the back of the layout, so it didn't need to be particularly interesting. A Shire Scenes storefront kit became the victim, as it was small and simple. It was something of a shame, however, because this little guy had surprisingly interesting, if rather subtle, character.
Appearances can be deceiving. What looked like a very simple, straightforward build was somewhat of a challenge owing to the thinness of the brass and lack of tabs—the corners just butted together.
Once I got the corner soldered, things improved quickly.
And a styrene roof with wall caps wrapped up the main construction.
Painting and installing the windows came next.
I filled in one doorway with cinderblock to add interest.
Even though the building faced the back of the layout, I still added a sign and window shades just for kicks. Below is an exceedingly rare view that requires the removal of several structures to achieve.
