Just what it says on the tin. Working through the interior and exterior elements first.
A basswood and coffee stirrer smoker. Used a flash to show some of the interior. Still need to add the door.

Next is a work table and bookcase.

Hangers and fish. Just noticed I did not paint the lines holding the fish.

I still have some other interior elements that I want to work on before I build the structure itself.

That is some excellent shop dressing you’ve done, they’ll add real character/believability to the premises. If I had one comment it would be that maybe the fish could do with some lighter silver highlights to make them pop. I could be wrong and it could be the picture making them look darker than they really are (digital photography is the enemy of my painting confidence lol ).
Do you already have the shop finished?

Those look great, the finished shop will be a spectacle 8)

Looking good mate! 🐟

Thanks for the nice comments all.

The shop is not built yet. I usually do interior and exterior details first and then build the shop to fit. The fish are a little dark but the camera makes them look much worse. I don't know if I am going to try to brighten them up or not. Mostly becasue they will get a bit lost in all of the clutter in the shop.
-
It’s going to look excellent, do you plan to do a large fish shaped sign for the front? Did you sculpt the fish or are they 3d printed? Do you have an idea for what the shop will look like or is it as organic as you described and just grows around the fittings?
Your work is exactly what I love about the miniature hobby (and luckily is well represented by the talented bods on LAF) - it’s not just a piece of scenery but an evocative and recognisable glimpse of an actual world (real or otherwise). I love gaming (mainly for the company) but the modelling side of the hobby is just so satisfying.
Keep up the good work!

Nice work, is that salmon in the smoker or Cthulhu tentacles?
-
Understand about getting "lost in the clutter" comment but maybe add some slight horizontal striations on those fish getting smoke dried - at first view I thought they were red peppers! lol. But the color works well for salmon.
Lovely work over all.

I will do a sign flush on the wall. It helps with storage. The fish are 3dprinted. Picked them up from Etsy seller Warhammer Rose studios. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/WarhammerRoseStudios?ref=yr_purchases (https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/WarhammerRoseStudios?ref=yr_purchases)
My buildings tend to be completely organic. I work off an initial concept or idea and build from that. Those have been as simple as bodies hanging in a closet, weapons racks, little bottles littered around a shop, or a statue that I picked up.
I also prefer to make every surface to be as playable as possible. All of my builds tend to have flat roofs, open doors, wide open floor-space and multiple entrances and exits. I also like to at least give the appearance of a purpose for the building while keeping it playable.

No, just his naughty bits. lol

I just might do that. I don't know if my eyes will cooperate though.

I think I have finished the interior bits. First the smoker. At fifteens away suggestion I put some striations on the fish, then added the doors and smoked up the wood a bit.

Next at Beneath a Lead Mountain's suggestion I gave a ery light highlight of silver on the fish to brighten them up a touch. My lighting situation is a bit crap so it does not show up too well.

Next some miscellaneous shelves.

The fishmongers sign to go over the door and the bucket tarted up.

Here is another picture of the bucket.

I should be able to start on the structure now.
Hope you like

I love the wood colours and weathering - just excellent. The striations finish the smoking fish perfectly. I wish I lived near you so I could see/game with them in person.

The striations on the smoking salmon make all the difference. Top work as usual.
-
Amazing work yet again.
-
That looks quite promising. Very cool array of clutter.
-
Hey, whaddya know, every once in a while I have a decent idea! lol
All looking very good. If the building matches to the details, I expect the finished build will be a stunning piece. Looking forward to seeing it complete.
-
Thank everyone for the kind words.
Still needs exterior weathering but pretty much done. Turned into a bit of an exercise for how much detail I could pack into a little space. Hope you like.

That’s brilliant! I would say that you pretty much hit the mark for the details -there’s lots of visual interest, but it isn’t so cluttered that the details would get in the way of game play.
-
Another exceptional piece of terrain to add to your world.
-
Brilliant! 👍 🐟
-
The perfect mix of aesthetic appeal and functionality - something we all dream of with wargames terrain. Bravo sir! Any more shops to come?

Wow - that is fantastic seeing it all come together! And I can't stand the taste of seafood... lol

That looks great! I love the smoker, nice idea and execution, especially the colour of the weathered wood. And with all the little details it looks (at least in comparison with your public convenience) like quite a hygienic and inviting establishment. If I was a wandering adventurer I would definitely pop in for some ingredients for my special fish stew!
-
Well, that looks a respectable piscatorium indeed. Love how you gave us views of front and back and all four interior walls. Well done, lad, well done. Are the sides more plain? And is there a roof, too? :D
-
Thank you all for the kind words.

Possibly one more. It looks like the BSC will be a "workplace". Mulling over some ideas but I want to build some regular housing as I now have temples, a utility and some shops.
Are the sides more plain? And is there a roof, too? :D
The sides and back are pretty much just brick wall. There is a single window but the building is designed to be placed next to other buildings so I can set them up as a row along a street. The roof is pretty much a flat sandy roof so not much interest there.
I will also work on some scatter clutter that can be placed next to the blank side and backs of my buildings to "flesh" them out a bit. That will be stuff like sheds, barrels, crates and such.
Again, thank you all for the kind words.
-
Superb, I love the detailed interior.
I had to check twice to make sure there isn't a sign saying Unhygenix, I could almost smell the shop ;) 8)
-
Back home,
the stall next to my dad's at the marketplace was that of a fishmonger /
looking at your project I can smell the fresh fish arriving and I see him putting fish and shellfish on display for the day(and hear him yell at his mother, but that's a different story).
Great job1
