I was busy creating a promotion and demonstration video for Combat Patrol, which used most of my hobby time this weekend. \u00a0I did manage to finish the Monarch Theater from Multiverse Gaming Terrain (http:\/\/www.multiversegamingterrain.com\/the-monarch-theatre-p-46.html). \u00a0This was a very fun kit to assemble and paint. \u00a0Most of it was painted partially assembled and then the paint parts were put together to make the final building. \u00a0This made the painting easier and the lines cleaner.<\/p>\n

I haven’t decided what movie to put on the marquee yet.<\/p>\n

\"Detail<\/a>

Like all the Multiverse kits, assembly was easy — even without directions — and the number of exposed tabs is minimal. \u00a0I did make one mistake that required me to pull apart something and re-do it.<\/p>\n

\"Rear<\/a>

The detail on this theater was quite nice. \u00a0My only nit is that it would be nice to have an interior stairwell, but that really is a nit.<\/p>\n

\"Looking<\/a>

I typically put this gravel look on all of my flat-roofed buildings.<\/p>\n

My inspiration for the color scheme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wanted the color scheme to stand out and reflect the ambiance of the golden age of movies and movie houses but be period appropriate. \u00a0I used this photo of art deco color schemes as inspiration.<\/p>\n
