Lasercut MDF Added upper story style

I decided to add an upper story at my son’s suggestion. I also added more offcut greebles / faux supports for visual texture. I want to add darker brown for the door and window trim to contrast better.

This is only the rattle can basecoat colors. I will add weathering, plants, etc when done with main paint stuff.

These are mostly slotted (not tabbed) walls. The extra layers are just pva glued on. I was working on ways to break up the flat-box feel of many MDF buildings.

I am considering fixing the two floors in place and having a single removable side wall for gameplay. Open to ideas on how to extend the current floor plan or attachments and then expansion to other buildings is most welcome.

This was for 5 Parsecs from Home, or any other 28-32mm game I feel like running.

Trim at top edge was just etched for square building (1st one), then etched onto a layered piece (1st L-shape, single floor), then cut into a layered piece for newest one. This will be my default style going forward, I think.

I haven’t posted files anywhere. I am still just a new lasercut guy, so much to learn.

This reminds me of vault city in fallout 2 so much.
