The southwest corner

Time for an update !

@Kevin: Yes, I'm afraid you have to pay for a visit. I admit, it's a bit odd as churches are public places but it's a token fee

@ Ricardo: Indeed, the folding lines are quite prominent but I agree, with the abundant prints in the background they are not so visible

@ Ponytail: Please refer to write-up below

The next cluster of adjacent small buildings is located at the southwest side of the church. This is a relatively complicated corner as there’s quite some variety of “add-ons”. It’s a pleasure to build though and the fit is more than good.

I used a lot of thin cardboard to reinforce the walls of the small buildings, which helps to properly align them on the base plate and to get a better “grip” when gluing them next to each other. Once all buildings are in place only then the roofs should be placed. It’s not necessary to follow the numerical order of the parts, I simply built from left to right, gluing anything in its place that came along.

Again, the outer church wall is just a bit too short. When dry-fitting the slanted roof the upper gluing tab on the main wall ended up about 1mm below the print on the main wall. To correct for this, I glued the outer wall on 0.5mm cardboard as described for the northwest section and placed another strip of 0.5mm below the lower gluing tab on the roof. Those corrections may not seem significant, but it makes the difference between a too tight fit and a "just nice" fit.

Cheers,
Erik
