Hi Don, not bad for 30 pence worth of materials. Another great build and some good tips with the 3d effect on the house. As always, thanks for sharing Don.

Verry nice scratch building like always❤❤❤

Cool tutorial.

Another fine example of scratch building. One minor issue is that heat rises so the smoke stains should be vertically up from the broken windows.

You're quite right so have ammended the thumbnail accordingly

Some very nice how to videos on your channel, will have to try this effect for my Airfix Panther tank diorama!

Excellent work, Don! One advantage of depicting a building gutted by fire (as opposed to shattered by bombs) is that less debris and rubble are needed in the street below. This is ideal for a "rotating display" of finished models, that don't have to be posed to conform to the groundwork due to mountains of rubble and bomb craters.
I'm imagining a row of buildings like this on a long shelf to accommodate a dozen tanks and other vehicles . . . .

good evening, great tutorial. As a beginner, your videos help me a lot. a question, can you tell me the height of the building? thank you beforehand

[@nanplabwern]

Average height of a two story building is 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7.6 metres) divide by 35 (if that is the scale you are working to) so 7" to 8"" high or 17cm to 20cm. Hope this helps
