The downside of a house hinged down the middle instead of with doors on the front is that it doesn't leave a lot of room to add a fireplace and chimney. I decided that the easiest place to add this would be to enlarge one of the windows and build the brickwork from the chimney out from there in foamboard.
This was a fairly quick job using an oscillating saw, which can be plunged directly into the material and therefore doesn't require as much space to use as a hacksaw or rotary tool with a cutting wheel.
Inside, and on the structure of the dormer windows, I used the same mixture of PVA glue and talcum powder to create the appearance of lime plaster. It's going to take several layers to build it up enough to be opaque.
