OO Scale 1970s Office Building – 3D Print

This type of building was common all over the UK. Looking at these buildings, It was the large windows that always struck me as odd. Being a cold country the heat loss through those windows must have been horrific in the winter, this was way before double glazing was common. 

I do remember that often these offices would have 15ft (4.5m) hot water radiators underneath the window that were scolding hot to the touch. Ahhh, the joys of England in the winter….

Painting the insides of the model black to stop “light bleed”

In the image below I’ve fitted the windows and I’m toying with the idea of painting part of the building “brown”  What was it about the 1970s and brown? I still need to sand down the model after its 3D print and tidy up the paint edges.
