First Completed Mordheim Building
I have finally completed my first Mordheim building. I started this building at about the same time I started this blog, so it’s been two weeks in the making. In my defense, this Mordheim building isn’t the only Mordheim project I’ve been working on.
I decided to go with a yellow paint with wooden accents. Here is the completed Mordheim building:
Here are the two outside walls. Click on the image to view larger image.
I’ll be putting up another image of the “gravel pile” on the second floor. I need to get a good picture with normal daylight.
I think for my first building, it came out very well. The only problem with this Mordheim building is that its scale is too large. Where Mordheim Models are 28mm, this building is closer to 38mm. When compared to the 3-story tavern/building that comes in the Mordheim box, they are almost the same height. The second story floor of this yellow Mordheim building comes up to the windows on the second floor of the original Mordheim building. The window and door on my building are also too large.
Notes to keep in mind,

Nice! Why didn’t we get to see that on the forum?
Ah! This was completed before I joined the http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/ Mordheim Forum, but I’ll go ahead and put up on a thread on it tomorrow =)
This year has been colder and snowier than in any year in recent history. Old aluminum windows may have let warm air escape in years past but this year with electricity being turned off for days at a time and arctic temperatures for weeks, new window replacement in Arlington, Maryland and Washington DC would have really been valuable. They are double paned, vinyl sealed for maximum efficiency.
I don’t know what our summer is going to bring but the reverse is true for summer; good window replacements keeps the cooler air inside where we want it. Cooler summers, warmer winters. The cost of heating and cooling homes has risen tremendously during the past ten years, it is more important than ever not to let that money escape through cracks in the doors and through poorly insulated windows. Sliding doors in Maryland even though they are large are constructed the same way for maximum insulation. A perfect combination; large panes of glass for viewing the incredibly beautiful Maryland landscapes with maximum efficiency.
The New England States are magnificent with the mighty trees, woodland like wildlife and forestry feel. When I sit in my backyard I can imagine Hansel and Gretel strolling through the gate looking for the candy house. I love the squirrels scampering around, the birds singing and building nests, the occasional wild rabbit and the myriad of other woodland creatures scurrying thither and yon as I watch.
The last argument for Maryland, Virginia and Arlington door and window replacement is the updated look it can give these wonderful old Cape Cod Style homes. They are unique and stately and deserve to be taken care of. Curb appeal is imperative to resell.
Your beautiful views are enhanced through the ease of cleaning new windows, they simply lift off their frames internally for easy access. They are quieter and more cost effective. Sit inside on a cold winter day and watch Hansel and Gretel come strolling by.
