I updated the thread title Burger Hut Kit "Done".  Done is because the "kit" is done, but I will be adding some interior and exterior details in the future.  I am going to say it is done for now, since I don't have the details on hand like with my other structures. 

Here is a front quarter view as it stands now.  Notice some nice details Andre included.  First is the laser etched plexiglass for the front door and window.  Those are really nice.  The 'Burger Hut' raised letter sign is a nice touch as well.  I wasn't sure if I wanted the 'Eat" arrow sign, but decided it added too much character to not add it.

I mentioned the other day about the technique I used for the bricks.  Here is a close up view of the bricks.  Closeup you can tell the mortar joints aren't painted separately.  I just kept dry brushing burnt sienna acrylic craft paint on the tops of the bricks hoping to leave the lighter color of the laser cut material showing to not bother with mortar.  That didn't quite work out, but I like the variations in brick color.  I decided not to mess with it any further.  From normal viewing distance, I am well pleased with the results.

Here is the opposite side and rear of the building which was designed to look like stucco that is starting to fall off.  These two sides definitely need weathered if they are going to show when the town is built.  I will cross that bridge when and if I come to it.  I think another building will probably be placed right up beside this one.

Ah, the base.  I cut it out of some thick styrene I have and glued on little posts to center the building when placed on the base.  I need to decide what treatment I want for the foundation.  But as I said at the top of this post, the kit itself is done.
