Title: 10m German farmhouse - Complete!
Post by: OSHIROmodels on July 17, 2016, 06:24:44 PM

The 10mm commission continues with a farmhouse this time. This will be a bit more of a wip as I've remembered to take some progress photos.

The base is 120mm square and I sketched out the basic plan on it. The squiggly thing will be a tree.

Then I drew and cut out the building walls on 1mm styrene (no lasers this time  ;D )

Then the walls were stuck together with braces in the corners and the roof was cut out from a 1:160 scale sheet of tiles. Ridge tiles and wall details were also stuck on. The compound walls have been roughed out and there will be a stable/small barn in the corner; style of which I have yet to decide.

More to follow soon  :)

How did you cut all the windows so cleanly?

Thanks  :)

Just practise and a sharp scalpel. I changed the bade twice to make sure the point was kept.

Nice, how did you do the angled ends to the roof?

I tried this before, and couldn't work the angles out at all.

Trial and error normally but fortunately in this instance I got it right first time.

Some more progress on this one. I've changed the main wall for a fence as most of the pictures I've found seem to have it this way.

Thanks again chaps  :)

The stables have been built and the fence painted. Just the stables to paint and ground work/foliage so hopefully this should be done by the end of the day.

It wouldn't be fair to the commissioner  :)

I did think about doing some different ones but I've got too much to do as it is and there are quite a few 10mm buildings of this type on the market anyway.

That is simply superb! The weathering/ ageing on the barn is particularly good. makes it look like  a photo of the real thing.

That looks museum quality! In this age of laser cut MDF everything, or resin buildings, it is refreshing to see someone just plain old scratch-build something like this and have it come out many times over better than commercial product...! :o 8) :-*
