Title: Dormer House 2 from Charlie Foxtrot Models
Post by: Heisler on June 05, 2017, 04:06:32 PM

I finally managed to finish something, a 1/56th scale building from Charlie Foxtrot Models. This is his "Dormer House 2" kit. This is an MDF laser cut kit and it comes packaged in a ziplock bag. It fits in a ziplock bag because it has already been punched out from the MDF "sprues". It took a little bit of time to sort out the parts but it certainly saved weight and could be shipped in a much smaller box.

I choose to try photo realistic "textures" on this building to see how much painting I could avoid. For my first attempt I'm pretty please with the results. There were definitely some lessons to be taken away from this build and hopefully the next one will come out even better.

 Nice work, you've hidden the paper seams well - I've found putting quoins up the corners of the walls can hide them too.

I like the look.
My problem is if I use photo realistic,
they will not match ones I have hand made.
