yes, the cornice is a piece of 2 x10 strip, cover with a 2x3 on top and 2x2 strip on the bottom.

Hello everybody,
Another time thank you very much for all your good comments.
This week I've finish what I'm calling cornice box. it's the big cornice located between the store front and the brick part of the front of the building.
first I've glue some ornament with 1x4 strip wood

then I've paint it with acrylic «Pine Green» color from ceramcoat, and apply a vintage white drybrushing, and finally glue in on the top of the store front.

Then I've finished the left side of the building : paint the joint of brick, add the windows and the top cap of the wall

Yesterday I've finally take my courage and make the small half hexagonal roof for the bay window. I've made it in 1/32'' thick basswood, and cover it with my home made tar paper.

At this time of the projet I've not a clear idea of what will be sit on the rear of the building ( an another buliding ? what's heigth?, a backdrop ?) So I've decide to do absolutely nothing more complicated than close the back of the building with a piece of cardboard. I've worked too on the right side of the building, specially ont the part that will be visible.

That's all for this week. I will now make the roof, and finish the draw for the second building.
Thanks for watching, feel free to comment.

To be continued...
