"Recycling"

 

Faller B-414 nach dem UmbauAfter completing a kit, there are often several parts left for whichout any further use for. But anyone doesn't want to throw them away either. One they to "recycling" ist using them is to built small houses as a kind of "fill-in". In former times, often nearly every "gap" in an old town was filled with a building, even if there was only room for a very small house. When such houses were replaced bay new structures later on, there was, of course, not more space for them as that which their predecessors had left. 

 

 

 

 

 For house No. 1 several doors and windows, left over from some Auhagen-kits, and rests of roof sheets from the same producer, were used. The ground floor was built with rests of Vollmer cardboard wall sheets, the first floor's walls were cut out of cardboard. 

House No. 2 was assembled of several overzealous windows, doors and roof sheets, and, of wall parts of an old damaged "Talheim" train station from Faller. 

Only the roof parts and the two gable walls as well as the chimney of house No. 3 are remainders of other scrathbuilding material. The side walls were cut out of cardboard, the window franess were put together of paper strips.

House No. 4 is just another product of the remainings of the old Talheim station. Moreover, several overzealous windows and remainders of Auhagen roof sheets were used to built this model.

In 2009, all four of these houses have undergone several rework. Houses 1, 3 and 4 got semolina plaster, how to do this is being described on this site.
