There are a lot of those here. I found these images in the "extras" folder on the (DVD). They are architectural drawings that set designers use to envision and then to build their scenes and create their sets. They illustrate some of the many sets that may need to constructed. The illustrations also bring some light into new projects.

A Pola Watchmens Tower

Layout and assembly instructions for a Pola, HO512, a two story brick watchmens tower.

Although I have gotten side tracked and am working on two other structures beside the three I have already made a the post. I have always liked this structure, but was not inclined to use it considering it British prototype. However I have changed my mind and will make use of the structure anyway. Perhaps I will explain further in the future.

I do appreicate brick building and this structure was an easy build and I enjoyed putting the bricks.

The prosess is as follows. I give the model a good coat of grey or in this case I use white spray paint. Let the undercoat dry thoroughly and dry brush the structure with a color of chose. I chose burnt sienna. Make sure that you have only a little paint on the brush when getting started. You must insure that the paint does not obscure the morter lines. Patience will award you and don't worry if from time to time you over load the paint brush. You do want some variations of color.
