I found a cheap DPM building on flea-bay (Goodnight Mattress Co.) and thought it would look good as a moving company with apartments over it. So, I bought it and also bid on a pair of Con-Cor moving trucks. Found out why it was cheap. The guy had slapped a coat of red paint on it, and must have gotten the walls in the wrong order for one story section, so he just sort of carved the overhang to fit. Also the building wasn't square so I had to pry it apart and re-glue it. Aside from that, it didn't turn out too badly. All I really did was repaint it, add a fire escape and a couple of other details from my junk box.
The only thing I really did that was a little unusual was to use ballast on the roofs, held in place with hair spray.
I really have to stop putting buildings together until I know where I want to put them! Now, I wonder where this will fit?
