I decided to go with one layer of paper with the balconies. So I colour the inside myself. That gives me two balconies out of one piece. That's a good thing because I have more houses too.
Two other things I made this morning are one bridge and small steps leading to canal waterline. The arches of venetian bridges are steep but in this kit they are a bit too pronounced. I tried to help the looks of making some steps on both ends. This is another typical venetian feature but the steps are not. Compared to normal steps these follow the curvature of the arch. Bit suprising at least when you're walking down. But when you know it it's ok.
Stairs down to waterline can be found anywhere in Venice. All sizes, shapes and material choices. Private, public, corporate you name it. On housefronts, besides bridges and definately on squares besides canal. So I'll be making those too. These are not represented in Oonirico's set but wery easy to make from the street paving parts he included.
Bridges, steps, balconies, chimneys etc. will keep mee busy for a while so I return to this when something more interesting is taking place.
