Bates Hotel




Today I finished another of the Burn In Designs buildings.  This one is sold as a hotel and it has the definite look of a modern hotel.

Assembled and sanded.

As the others, this was easy to put together using wood glue.




Spare bits of mdf were added for unobtrusive roof details.




The covered entryway seemed like it would be a perfect candidate for adding a patio.  I took one of the entrance arches from the Burn In Designs hospital and added it here.  It fit perfectly in the space.




If you have been following this blog then you know I've become fond of adding styrene strips for enhanced details on these buildings.  This one is no different.  The edges of the roof have been lined with strips of styrene.




Tiled plasticard for the patio.  This sized tile didn't allow for a snug fit, something would have to be done with those edges.


Paint job work in progress

Here is a Zentraedi battlepod added to show how the 40mm base will fit on the patio.





Female power armor -- the 50mm base doesn't fit in, but on the raised edges.  That needed consideration.





Painted the building.  I did a three-tone color scheme.





As usual, I pasted oak tag on the interior of the building to cover the windows.





I solved the misfitted plasticard problem with clump foliage along the edges.








Spartan destroid for size.





Comparison with a couple of other recently completed buildings.  Behind is another Burn In Designs kit, while in front is a GameCraft house.
