I've put a hold on my factory unit after my original plans made it nearly 2'X3'. FAR too big for my table although I may come back to it.....
Anyhow, as a "filler" for my street I thought I'd put together a small workshop. It isn't really based on anything historical but I think it has a Victorian "Feel". There is a shop on the right to blend in with my other ones. I'm not too sure about the large doors as the building isn't that deep.

I was thinking possibly an "Automoton" repair shop......

Cyril, - Exceptional work, up to your usual magnificent standards. ;D
The double doors look fine to me.
-
More than works for me. Doors/gates were often put into archways that led into inner courtyards etc. so the building does not have to be deep.
Another great addition PM. Where is the blue foam from? I have only ever seen it in stupidly small pieces or with p&p I don't like.
-
Looks good PM :-*. Nice and thin with a bit of height gives it that Victorian look. It'll fit in well with the rest of the collection.
The girder above the upper service door is a nice touch. Not sure if you've got your eye on any pulley systems but you can find some at Langley Models, got a few from them myself.
Now, if you're reading this you it means you're not at your workbench, back you go! ;)
P.S The factory project sounds rather grand.
-
Looking really nice, and I'd back Svenn in saying that the answer is to build a courtyard (with an open fronted outbuilding?) for out the back.
-
that's awesome!!! :o
i want that styrodur thin sheets, i can't find them in italy!
-
Its simple but has personality, you can use it to fill out your table indeed. It wont take away from the looks of the table but doesn't distract from the more centrepiece parts.

They're fine IMHO. It's for gaming so these buildings are more representation than scale engineering eh?
Horse drawn vehicles might need access to load up, so looks perfect for that, plus I've seen similar before... there's even one archway just around the corner from me which is probably shallower.
Where you getting this blue foam from?
-
Another lovely building in the making :-* :-* :-*
Doors are great.
-
Gorgeous!
-
I agree with Malamute
The large doors look fine
-
Wow! Looks beautiful!
-
Lovely! 8)

I think I agree with everyone here - it looks fantastic! The double doors are perfect, and as Red Orc suggests, you could simply have a yard at the back that they lead into, which would look cool. I love the girder over that high window, I love the rooves, which look fantastic, the shop - as always - looks superb, but I have to say, one of my favourite bits is the chimney! It's incredibly well done, and gives it that certain 'something'. This is going to be another fantastic building, and I can't wait to see it alongside the other buildings you've done. Great work! Oh, and I like the idea of an automaton workshop. In fact, if you're looking for possible 'Walker' models, there are a couple in the Warmachine range that would look great - check out the Heavy Warjacks in the Khador, Cygnar, and Mercenary factions. There are a few that would be perfect, particularly painted up in your (patent pending) black and gold colour scheme.
Fantastic stuff!

After another long gap in modelling caused by the "real world" ( work stuff this time!!!) I finally finished my smal Victorian workshop.
I decided to go for an automoton repair shopwith a retailer of "Domestic Automotons" attached.
hope you like it:

This one isn't lit but I added a little detail to the shop interior in the form of an automoton "Butler"
(http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c334/pappa_midnight/workshoppe5.jpg)
I also did this poster but thought it looked a little too modern

Asimov and Babbage. Love it. Brilliant work PM.
When do we get to see the whole town together??!!! :-*
-
Superb. Can you give us a run-down of materials used?
-
Right up there chap, not that we expected anything else. I am getting more and more jealous with each addition
-
That's going to be a spectacular board. Apart from the factory what else is planned for the town? I agree with the Captain, we need a group shot....
-
Love it :-*
-
I agree with Andym - this board is going to be spectacular (and yes, we DO need a group shot!).
Every bit of it is superb - the build (seamless - amazing stuff), the painting (I love the varied brick tones - great attention to detail - and the black shop fronts are a beautiful touch, and pull all the buildings together), and of course the imagination (the android butler is an inspired bit of detail, and the posters are great - and for the record, I like the Revenant one a lot).
Brilliant.
-
Awesome! :-* o_o I love the little details like the poster. Agreed, a group shot of the whole layout is needed!
-
it's been a while since I look at your buildings with a dribble of saliva in the mouth ;D. but my English is still bad but I will still tell you how much I think.
I love the atmosphere that emanates from it. I feel like I was walking around London in the 19th century, and feel that I'm going to cross the street corner, a Jack the Ripper, a mister Jekyll or a Joseph Merrick. So for that I say bravo :-* :-*
-
Another stunning job. :-* :-* :-*
The finishing details are great. Brings the whole thing to life :-* :-* :-*
-
Yet another fantastic build PM. :-*
Nice to see that someone has done the brickwork properly with none of that embossed plastic card nonsense! ;)

Hear! Hear! I very much hope you will bring this stuff to a Lead Adventure Meet somewhere, some time.

Scrap that, PM can hold open house with his stuff, I think most of us would be willing to come to him to see it!

Thank you all for the comments.
When I'm off over the festive season i'll get some group shots with my other buildings, zombies and steam conveyances.
I've come to a temporary halt as I'm having difficulty sourcing windows at the moment. With the time of year aswell I don't expect to get any more before the New Year.

Splendid work old boy. You have really raised the bar with these. Truly amazing work :-*
-
Beautiful stuff :-* :-* :-*
I'm not usually a big fan of the foam brick style but yours are great 8)
cheers

-
great building! im impressed by the painting as well as the foamwork.
-
Outstanding as usual PM, was hoping this would be finished by the time I was back and you haven't let me down.
Dont let the lack of windows get in the way of the new build. Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. You know you want to.
Anyway, you could always do a public convenience. It's on my list of Victorian builds.
