Tmo kitbash '24 build challenge

[TMo]

Paper, even cardstock can be a bit wobbly, and you'll notice in the photo above, the center bay looks like it's tending to bow out.  The bottom of the structure had also expanded a bit from side to side - like an accordion due the stress of the glue joints with nothing to keep it from expanding.  The corner was also not 90 degrees due to the same stresses.  Time to reinforce - this time from the back of the structure.  Most Clever kits give you interior supports that you can cut and fold, and this kit had both horizontal and vertical stiffeners, but no corner stiffeners, since this is supposed to be a low-relief kit.  Dug into my previous printouts and found some of those in kit I used for the steam plant.  I also cut a floor piece and added that to further tie the structure together.  Here's the reinforced unit from the back.

   

Next, it's time to go vertical.  The there are no different pilaster printouts for only brick, so I'm going to have to print the combo brick/concrete ones and cut off the concrete and do one story at a time.  Based on the previous 2 stories, I think putting the pilasters in first and then filling in with the window modules is going to be the best way to go.  There's also no provision for a window sill, so I'm going to have to improvise something for them.  Three more stories to go!

For the windows themselves, the kit does suggest having a few open (tilted in/out) units (there's one I've already done on the 1st story, and I'll probably have quite a few of those since I'm simulating August.
