More Greenmax city building samples

Here is another building I have made from the new Greenmax kit, as well as some other samples from them …

I wanted to have a building that could be ‘multi-purpose’, and because of it’s positioning on the layout you cannot see the front and back at the same time. So I decided to make the front and back different, so that I could choose to display an apartment type building, or an office type building, just by turning it around !!!

Because of the lack of extra windows/doors etc, I ordered some sprues of the window/door parts from Greenmax. This means I was not restricted to having to use up all the part in the kit to fill the wall space, even if I didn’t ‘like’ those parts.

This 10 floor building uses 2 base kits one behind each other, and another base kit as the first smaller upper floor. Then on top of that are the upper floor parts from the 3 base kits, plus one more pair of upper floors from the extra parts supplied by Greenmax.

I have found it is very difficult to get a nice smooth wall finish with all the individual panels. I think the best way to achieve this is to make up each wall section first, and when you glue the panels on, lay it face down on a flat surface with a weight on top. Then assemble the 4 walls together – this is opposite to the way Greenmax suggest you do it on the instruction sheet.

This photos shows the ‘apartment’ side of the building. I think they must be luxury 2-floor apartments, as there is only a balcony on every 2nd floor 🙂

This photos show the ‘office’ side of the building. A lot plainer.

The front of the ‘apartment’ side’. I used some extra Greenmax cooling towers from their earlier kits.

The front of the ‘office’ side. The garden bed came from Kato.

The roof structure supplied with the kit is a little plain, and also too large for the standard roof size. Here I have used a part of a Kato Diotown building, as well as some other bits and pieces found in the junk box. As before, I made one of the balcony doors open.
