After a few unavoidable delays I've finally got a chance to start posting for this competition.
I decided to build a toy store with a train set layout in the display window. I will only be building the facade of the shop and the footpath as this will be used as part of a larger project to create a definite edge to an urban area.
The walls and roof were cut from 5mm foam board.
I printed out a fan pattern commonly used in Art Deco style architecture, glued them to 1mm card, cut them out and then layered and glued them together to create a typical Art Deco building embellishment.

The door is made from layered card and plastic packaging with printed Art Deco stained glass windows on either side. At this point I ran out of daylight before I could photograph the completed door so I'll leave that till next post.

I wanted to go with an Art Deco style for the shop so I cut and sanded curves into the facade and then glued them together with PVA. The door will be off centre and recessed between the display windows.

The side walls were inscribed with a brickwork pattern but they won't be attached until the windows and window display are in place.
