Title: HAlf timbered Normandy building 28 mm
Post by: blockhaus on April 06, 2012, 11:03:00 PM: Hello, this is the piece that I´m working now. I have done it with a structure of plywood covered with a frame of beams, that are done also with plywood cut freehand, without rule, this give a irregular beams as you can see in the real houses.

Spaces among beams are filled with cork.

The irregular stones are a mix of pleebes, cork dust, talcum powder and white glue. This is under construction now and will be reproduced as kit in some moment in the future

Post by: Mitch K on April 13, 2012, 10:47:31 AM: Carlos,

When you say "the first layer of a plywood plate", do you mean one of the layers that make up the plywood, separated from the others?

Lovely work as usual, by the way! I like you point about freehand cutting the wood. I live near York and there are plenty of very old timber-framed buildings to look at and the wood is VERY uneven.

Cheers again,

M

Post by: blockhaus on April 13, 2012, 11:00:21 AM: Hi Mitch,
yes I mean this, the superior layer is a very fine, flat surface that must permit press the name, mark, publicity etc of the fruit productor, and the reverse side have the rougth surface, thus you have from the same piece of wood two textures, one for fine works as tiles and another for rougth surfaces as structure for half timber houses.
cheers
