Title: Chinese farm *Roof added*
Post by: OSHIROmodels on 18 September 2011, 02:45:34 PM: Hello chaps :)

Just a couple of photos of a BoB Chinese farm that I'm doing as a commission at the moment. The roof is still to make for the main building but the rest is just about done.

How do you get the curve into the tiles?

And I'll copy it for a build myself ;)

How do you do the tiles on the roof?

Look forward to seeing it finished.
May I ask what material was used for the walls?
Thanks.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 18 September 2011, 05:22:30 PM: Thanks very much chaps :)

Questions all together as it makes sense that way.

The walls are from perspex and have brick details etched on to them in parts and the tiles are a cast of a plastic tile sheet I got in Japan a few years ago (unfortunately, no longer available and believe me, I've dragged my wife around as many hobby shops out there as possible :) ).

The cast tile sheet, whilst still a bit soft, is layed in a former made from a rather large piece of ABS tubing and left to go off.

And no, I don't have any chickens lol

cheers

Post by: WuZhuiQiu on 18 September 2011, 07:00:17 PM: Nice work, as always! I have two questions, though. First, why does the small room not seem to have any doors? Second, what is the ledge in the main room for?

Cheers!

Aha, there you have me ;D I forgot to put a door in and the ledge is there because the floor sheet just wasn't big enough to cover the whole area lol

Can't get it right all the time :)

cheers

Post by: WuZhuiQiu on 18 September 2011, 08:14:12 PM: Oh, ok, I thought that the ledge might have been for some obscure regional ancestor-worship niche!

Are you going to add doors to the gateway?

I have seen modelers use split drinking straws to represent round tiles. There are various sizes of straws so a variety could be possible.

Great work on the farm btw !!

No main doors as this is a rather battle weary farm and the drinking straws (or things of that nature) don't really appeal. Just a personal preference :)

cheers

Post by: coggon on 19 September 2011, 11:26:33 PM: I don't think drinking straws would hold up very well given the way terrain gets handled at my house. So thanks for not putting any on this one. ;) :o

I can't wait to take delivery of that wonderful model.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 14 October 2011, 04:51:50 PM: Well, the roof has been added and it's now on it's way :)

Lucky, and broke too lol, but WELL worth it. Haven't bought any lead in 6 weeks (and counting) to be able to afford it. As an added bonus, I've also made a huge dent in the lead pile too.

Post by: coggon on 24 October 2011, 01:59:45 PM: When I got to work this morning, the package was waiting for me on my desk. As it was VERY securely wrapped, it took a bit to get it open, but what was waiting inside was spectacular. I must say that the photos do not do it justince. :o

The service and communication from Oshiro was outstanding from initial sketches, WIP photos right through the process of mailing. I can't wait to do business with them again.
