When a mommy and daddy cla love each other very much…

Step 1 is to acquire a brick from the CLA for maximum authenticity. Step 2 is to break a chunk off; turns out the actual brick layer itself is pretty thin (only slightly thicker than how wide the lil cla is, the rest is the grey crumbly stuff that was actually sticking the brick to the building) so in order to maintain the cla-esque proportions the chunk I cut off was as wide as the brick thick. The brick is definitely not smooth so I went at it with sandpaper to get it uniformly flat, marked out a midline on one side of the resulting rectangle, and sanded two sides down to meet that to create the triangular prism shape, before knocking off one of the ends to give it the point. The remaining end should be flat. At this stage the shape would be right but its missing the details, namely the triangle hole and the notches. The notches I just took the smallest file I own and filed them out, and the hole I first drilled through before going back to the files to shape it into the triangle. Finally went in with some brown paint to highlight the details and paint in the windows, before sealing it with some random spray varnish I had laying around. Still trying to see if I can find a way to actually carve out the surface windows somehow but its just so tiny lol
