A water tower. The main drum of the building is a plastic pot which I bought full of herbs, in a supermarket. On to this, I have glued panels of card, leaving tiny gaps in between. One of the panels wasn't quite rectangular (I cut them by eye, since I'm impatient with measurements, which seldom turn out to be more accurate than I can judge by eye anyway), and it left a bit of a gap because it didn't fit. This was a blessing in disguise. I cut a rectangle of thin card, and with a sharp spike, pressed a lot of indentations into it. I then glued this rectangle over the gap, with the indentations on the inside, and the bumps the other side of the card sticking up, looking like rivet heads.
The ladder is card. The drain pipe is a drinking straw painted green. The uprights are extra large matches, and the struts are ordinary matches. The legs look a lot shorter in this photograph than they really are, because of the angle of view.
The roof is paper and card, and is quite strong, thanks to its being made up of two or three layers, glued together. It has been painted grey, dry-brushed light grey, and varnished with a mix of varnish and a little black enamel paint.
The main part of the building has been painted dark blue, dry-brushed light blue, and then has had a few watery stains of rust-coloured paint added.
