Title: Sleepy Hollow - Courthouse added - Page 3
Post by: OSHIROmodels on May 21, 2018, 03:29:48 PM: Well, not quite but close enough :)

Got another commission under way of five or six buildings to be made in the style of the Sleepy Hollow film but leaning more towards you're standard AWI/FIW look.

First building on the go is a stables/barn. A simplified version of the one in the film.

I'm away for a couple of days but should get it finished at the weekend.

cheers

Post by: NurgleHH on May 22, 2018, 02:33:30 PM: I think the fantastic idea about these buildings in sleepy hollow (version from Tim Burton) was these strange architecture with nearly imposible structures. So, maybe you should try to bring this in:

Post by: OSHIROmodels on May 26, 2018, 12:36:10 AM: Got all the timber work done, will give it a primer coat of the base colour and then stick the tiles on along with the doors.

Not really a requirement of the commission I’m afraid mate. It’s more of a historical version.
Title: Re: Sleepy Hollow - Timber work complete
Post by: carlos marighela on May 26, 2018, 01:11:42 AM: Superb! The overlapping weather board effect is clever. How did you pull that off, with what looks like balsa? Any tips ‘n’ tricks gratefully stolen.
Title: Re: Sleepy Hollow - Timber work complete
Post by: Silent Invader on May 26, 2018, 06:43:13 AM: I agree about the weather boards. Same balsa you used for Limehouse? 8)
Title: Re: Sleepy Hollow - Timber work complete
Post by: OSHIROmodels on May 26, 2018, 07:39:46 AM: Thanks :)

It's just thin balsa wood cut by hand and stuck on. One of the requirements was for it to look like the Limehouse weatherboarding.

Title: Re: Sleepy Hollow - Timber work complete
Post by: OSHIROmodels on May 26, 2018, 11:46:46 PM: Painting is done, just the doors to do and the groundwork then it's on to the next one :)

Slight change as there will be no bases on these, which is a shame as I enjoy doing groundwork.

‘Fraid not mate, just a courthouse and a blockhouse.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on February 10, 2019, 10:36:17 PM: Courthouse is done. Had a slight accident with the blockhouse roof so I’ll post that when it’s done.

Post by: FifteensAway on February 10, 2019, 11:17:14 PM: Seems the painters managed to give the door a fretting up but seem to have run out of whitewash.

Love the colors on the barn - missed this thread until now. Will be using the barn colors as inspiration.

???
I'm taking a guess that that's a reference to the unpainted rear door? That's really the first thing you thought of to say?

One question... I like that embossed stone plastic sheet you've used on the base... who produce it?

Not sure what you're on about there. The doors are painted blue and olive/drab respectively :?
