Container Office (1)

Arghh, the old three walled container problem

So this week I thought I'd do the final container print-out that I had, which was for an office type building you see all the time on building sites and the like. Having cut out the net of the building I then decided I would do some internal detailing (even if I decide the rood wouldn't be coming off, some internal detail could still be seen through the windows.
It's a simple enough build, four walls, floor and a ceiling; simple enough that is until once you've cut it out, tidied up and found that you've thrown the wall with the door out!

Long side

Once I'd calmed down, rather than do a reprint of the whole thing my solution was to scratch-build one instead.
It doesn't follow  the original one completely, although it does have very similar features; a door on one of the short sides, two windows on the long side and a window on the other short side - though mine is significantly smaller.

Boring rear long side with small side window barely visible

Vaguely interesting doorway

The whole thing has been cobbled together from two different thicknesses of card, the thinner stuff from one of my many empty medication boxes that wold otherwise have been thrown.
The base is made from a soft plastic 'plastic card' type material and is about 5mm thick, whilst the other stuff isn't !

'Furnishings'

I do intend to 'detail' the inside and it will have a lift-off roof, so whilst waiting for the PVA to dry I knocked up a couple of things that will go towards the furnishing.
Just in case you can't make out what's on the photograph, there's a desk; a shelf unit; a doorway and a kitchen sink !



Providing there are no further calamities this week then this should be finished in time for next  week's blog-post !
