Victorian City for 28mm
« on: November 27, 2013, 09:14:11 PM »
For the last eight to ten years I have been amassing figures and scenic materials for a gallery of Victorian Gothic.  In October 2012 I decided it was time to begin painting and building.  I completed the work on this gallery one year later on the eve of Halloween 2013.  The gallery is huge, 119 pictures, and is accompanied by a lengthy write up outlining sources of figures, buildings and vehicles.   Although I added removable scratch built pitched roofs and chimneys to many of my building, the only buildings I scratch built completely are my Whitechapel terrace houses and pub, and for those I must acknowledge the great work of Lead Adventure Forum’s Thunderchick as my inspiration.  His work is brilliant.
Below you will find a few sample pics from the gallery, and if you find them interesting, I hope you will take some time and view the gallery itself which can be found at www.warin15mm.com/Victorian-Gallery.html

There's some great information on the blog too, well worth a read. How many buildings do you have?

This is superb by the way!  :)

Thanks so much for all the generous comments.  Elk101, the board is 5 ft. x 7ft.  Picture 46 in the gallery offers an overall look at the board.  There are 5 streets, approximately 31 buildings, plus 2 pedestrian tunnels, small outbuildings behind the terrace houses and pub, an underground entrance, a park, a cemetery, and 5 five interiors (a staircase, a ballroom, an opium den, a laboratory, and a church).  Also, there are about 25 or 26 vehicles.  Richard
