Thanks guys!  I've just purchased a can of limestone spray paint as a base coat for this, if anyone has any ideas on colour then please let know.

Worked on the corner stones of both the side walls this evening. Using my rotary tool to carve in between each stone, then sanded them with corse sandpaper which removed the top layer of card. Just need to do the same with the facing wall before I can fix the pieces together.

Major update!

Today I managed to get a lot of work done on the building.  I started by carving out the corner stones for the front of the building, using the same technique as the other two walls but making sure that they lined up with the adjacent walls.

After completing this task, I sanded them down, curving the edges and removing the top layer of card from the foam.  Taking my glue gun, I glued both sides on, making sure ther blocks where alignred with each other.  Then sanded down each side, blending in both side, trying to blend in the join.

Once the sides had been glued on I then cut out a piece of card and started working on the floor.  Taking the strips of bolsa wood, I glued them onto the board to act as floor boards. This will probably be the same the next floor.  Once it has dried, I am thinking of coffee staining the floor, to darken it.

While this was drying, I sprayed the building with a limestone spray, this has come up a little lighter than I had imagined but a couple of grey washes should do the trick.

Time to let it all dry, I hope you like the progress!

Update!

Last night I coffee stained the floor which I think turned out rather well. Before I could fit the floor to the walls, I had to apply another coat of paint to darken out the walls. I created an acrylic wash made up from white, black and a little burnt umber and went over all the brick work. Not sure whether to do a second wash before i start work on the first floor? I will be going over the corner stones with a grey to match the brick work.

Been busy today, what started as fixing the ground floor to the walls ended up being by fitting in the second floor as well.  After fitting the floor, I cut 6 supports and glued them to the corners and either side of the door.  I cut a piece of foam core and slid it into grooves I cut into the walls, then glued it into place.  This pulled the walls back in, squaring of the middle.  Using strips of bolsa, I covered both sides of the foamboard floor before coffee staining all the wood I had applied today.  I cut a strip of foam board, sprayed painted and glued it to the bottom of the door as a step.

Now I have completed these floors, I still have to:

1) The windows and door.

2) The roof.

2) The base (sidewalk/pavement & road).

3) Another wall to create an alley down the side of the building.

4) All internal accessories.

Still a long way to go before I can say this is completed.
