Carentan house number 2 and 3
Carentan house number 2 completed!
In Band of Brothers, this is the partly ruined house opposite Cafe de Normandie. There should be some posters on the right wall, and a big wall advertisement in the red-painted area. I will put these in later.
This house was really easy to build, and a joy to paint!
Basically it took one evening to build, (24hours waiting for the textured paint to set), and two evenings to paint up. Really fast!
I considered putting beams under the roof but didn't get round to it.
Here's house number 3. This is supposed to represent the first house on the right, just before Easy Company reaches the Desire Ingouf restaurant. In Band of Brothers, you only get to see very fleeting glimpses of this house, so I decided to build a historical house (see house marked in photo):
After 3 weeks'work, here's a status update on Carentan:
As you can see, the approach to Carentan is almost complete. There should be one more house to the right of Cafe Normandie, and another ruined shop/house next to the existing ruined house. These will be my next builds. After that, I will have to start thinking about the factory.
Here are more shots of the town from different angles. I figured Cafe Normandie should get a backyard since there is one in the DVD.
