Title: BSC2022 - aircav’s slum tenement
Post by: aircav on January 05, 2022, 09:12:56 PM: I need to build some more buildings for my Pulp games, that I seem to have got sucked into ::) & I wanted a more slum/dive part of town so I’m in.

Old school - foam board, cereal packet & any other junk that I can find.
Don’t have any new tangled 3D printers or laser cutter’s, so all them tiles & windows are going to be a bugger :?

Oh indeed. Though sometimes the tools are a hobby in and of themselves. (My 3D printer is currently down due to the termistor wire breaking)

Good luck with the windows.
Have you considered making one (master)
then press moulding the rest?

Thanks, I need to get on with it while I’m inspired, otherwise it will end up like a Wizards tower lol lol

I think I need to find a bigger base or slice a bit off the rear return, as I want to put steps up the front to reach the top level, but we shall see :?

Having a play at making windows this morning & I’ve already got mad & fed up with the whole idea, so I think I will be getting some pre-made ones from eBay (£2.50 for 10) & either use them straight off the shelf it cut them & make them into larger ones.

I hope this doesn’t get me disqualified

Title: Re: BSC2022 - aircav’s slum dosshouse
Post by: aircav on January 14, 2022, 08:32:38 AM: Right, Ive been having second thoughts about the larger part of the building.
I think it looks too bulky, so I've quickly drawin it all up to see which I like best!

I would welcome the thoughts of my Peers upon this fine forum.

ORIGINAL VERSION
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/53/1847-140122082434-53977627.jpeg)

REVISION 1
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/53/1847-140122082434-53979465.jpeg)

REVISION 2
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/53/1847-140122082434-539802172.jpeg)

I think I'm leaning towards Rev1, as I rather like the stepped symmetry of the buildings.

Cheers

I know what you mean it looks more thrown together than designed
Title: Re: BSC2022 - aircav’s slum dosshouse
Post by: OSHIROmodels on January 14, 2022, 11:23:40 AM: I don’t think there’s any real difference in build complexity between the two and the offset lends itself more to a ‘slum’.

He means the raised central roof section offset from the end, rather than stepped down from high to low, I think ;)

Might I suggest to bring the eves down to almost to the tops of the upper windows. It should help to give it an older look.

I tried to figure out from the drawing how to being the elves down to give it an older look, then realised...
Looks good, looking forward to seeing the build, elves and all.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/54/1847-170122175553.jpeg)

I just realised that I didn’t explain how this all works.

Cut the far right door out around the frame, then cut out the middle door the same, but also cut out the central panels & glue this to the first door & finally cut out the frame on the left & glue this on top of the 2 previous door parts f you then have yourself a recessed door :D

Post by: aircav on February 02, 2022, 10:44:59 PM: A quick update to my build.
The windows have arrived in quick time (forgot to order the ones for the cat slide dormers though :? ) , I’ve cut the frame from one side of 2 windows & glued them back together to make the large windows & all the openings have been cut out.
All the tiling has been done on the roof panels & the doors have been made. I can hopefully start some assembly work now :D

Bit more done, pitched roof dormers tiled & leaded in & rendering (after a fashion ::) ) done, just need to clean all the window openings up slap some paint on & then I can get the windows in & get the ‘leadwork’ around the chimneys

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/54/1847-160222225036.jpeg)

Got a bit of a problem with the gable end though it doesn’t fit as tight as it was supposed to & it’s not quite long enough to put barge boards on as it was not meant to have any. I’ll have a faff about to see what I can do.
I’m also starting to think that this might not be finished by the 5th :?

I think I might have to cut out the end tile & put a bit in :(
& I’ve decided the chimneys look too big, so I’ve ragged them off an they are getting chopped down :?
Title: Re: BSC2022 - aircav’s slum tenement
Post by: tin shed gamer on February 17, 2022, 06:18:37 PM: It just needs a little taking off behind that first tile. As it's too close to this gable.
Then it'll sit a little neater. Plus any further mismatch can be hidden with wooden Gable end Fascer boards .
Title: Re: BSC2022 - aircav’s slum tenement
Post by: aircav on February 17, 2022, 11:07:43 PM: Thanks Mark

That’s the main building sorted, need to build the lean-to for the rear & finish the balustrades, then base & paint, I’m a bit optimistic about getting it finished now :D

Mind you he was quite found of saying " if wishes were horses beggers would ride.If turnips were watches I'd wear one at my side. "

I’ve got tho lean-to built now & the building undercoated.

The lean-to is made from a plastic rod frame scratched with a rough razor-saw to simulate wood grain & the wrinkly tin sheeting is made from coke cans formed on a home made jig (that can just be seen in the background) & balsa.

I just need to work out what I’m doing with the base, I sort of wish I had one of those fancy green stuff rollers so that I could put cobbles down on it :?

Post by: Vanvlak on February 19, 2022, 06:12:44 PM: The coke tin idea is superb!
One method I have used for cobbles is to make several little balls of Milliput or green stuff, place them close-ish to each other and roll them flat. Not ideal for large areas though...

Superb work there - don't forget, no painted photos of the model on the thread :D

Knowing what you do for a shilling it'll be a doddle. Length of 15mm pvc pipe.Couple of nails tips rounded off and a lighter.
,and about an hour of your spare time.

I’m thinking a bit of plasticard with some thin plastic rod stuck to it to make a press.

Post by: tin shed gamer on February 19, 2022, 06:52:03 PM: There's a good chance the strips will peel away once you get going. So a thin coat of PVA over the whole stamp is a good idea..

What ever you choose to do.I'd recommend using talc as a releasing agent rather than water.

If you don't fancy making your own roller, you
could look at embossed wall paper. There are
quite a few out there that would do the job.

Post by: aircav on February 23, 2022, 09:36:50 AM: This will (hopefully) be the final update before I start painting.

I made a little press mold from plasticard & have done the yard & passage, also added the balustrades.

I will get everything glued down now & start painting.

Oh & add door handles

Great stuff!
