Title: Spanish building bases - The posh house is complete!
Post by: OSHIROmodels on April 30, 2016, 08:45:58 PM: I've got some building bases to make for David Imrie for his Carlist Wars project. The two layouts and initial start are below.

Generally stucco but the smaller building on the first base will be raw stone. I'm looking forward to making the church but they'll be done one at a time.

Another soon to be awesome Bibbly building 8) 8)

Will the church and posh house be on the same base or separate? They look a little close if based together no?

That is the intention but as you say, they might be a little cramped. I'll have word with David and see if the base can be a little wider :)

Not quite, just a wife working the bank holiday and no normal work to worry about :D

Finished the main bulk of the main building and added the timbering to the front. The doors are yet to be done along with the balcony and roof structure obviously. There will be a texture mix applied to all the walls and a lesser version applied in between the timbers.

Nope, just normal mounting board and foamcore.

That's why it'll be a bit run down but very expensive ;)

For this build it's a mix of Sandtex masonry paint, fine sand, powder wall filler and wood glue. No idea as to the respective amounts, just whatever looks right.

Finished the basic painting for the building and timber. Got some weathering to do on it but that'll be at the end when the other building and remaing walls are done. Looks a bit washed out due to the crappy English bank holiday weather ::)

A Juliet balcony is the platform Juliet stands on outside her bedroom window proclaiming "Romeo, romeo where fore art thou you randy little Bugger?"
Title: Re: Spanish building bases - Building one detail work
Post by: carlos marighela on May 04, 2016, 06:48:18 PM: Wot 'e' sed. Technically it's a balconet a mini, semi functional balcony.

Dunno whether Spain followed suit but in Portugal at the time, it was common for married upper class women to be provided with a covered, enclosed balcony to allow the ladies to discretely survey the outside world without being seen. Part of the Moorish tradition that survived the reconquista. It was still widespread enough into the 18th C to be remarked upon in traveller's accounts and the style was even exported to the colonies, including Brazil. Usually of latticed woodwork, which is why few remain on original structures.

Wills sheeting pantiles. Useful material to have for this sort of thing.

COmpleted the roof on the main building and started on the second.

You should show them architectural modeller blokes how to make things properly.

Title: Re: Spanish building bases - Roof and second building
Post by: carlos marighela on May 14, 2016, 11:09:17 PM: Wonderful!

Looks like you are using cut up plastic tubing for the ridge tiles. Just a tip for future ref. I've found that you can do the same thing using cut up plastic drinking straws. Just bond a couple together to get the right thickness. They are easier to cut and work, as a slice down the middle with a craft knife gives you the basic tile shape and they are a damn sight cheaper than using Evergreen plastic modelling parts.
Title: Re: Spanish building bases - Roof and second building

I tried drinking straws many years ago and really wasn't happy with them for various reasons. I don't mind paying extra for quality materials for a quality end product :)

Nice! The tower? Go lush, go baroque.

Here's the church I was married in, NS do Rosário dos Pretos, for inspiration. OK it's Portuguese baroque and and it's in Brazil but there are very similar styles in Spain and across Latin America.

The decision was made to go Romanesque so it can be used for earlier periods if necessary. I do like the baroque style though :)

Two words. One of them is hat, the other is arse. Arrange them at your leisure ;D

And carrying on from where I left off...

All the main construction is done along with the roofing and architectural details, the only thing left to make is the Romanesque door way but I'll be doing that at work this coming week. Also needs a cross on the tower, debating whether to solder one in brass or laser cut it.

Title: Re: Spanish building bases - Church base continues
Post by: carlos marighela on June 06, 2016, 05:51:09 AM: Lovely work. Simple Romanesque works as well. Crosses are as often as not absent from the tower on churches of that type.

Do be careful extracting the bell from the cat though, it's probably got used to it as an adornment. Of course if you plan a replacement, then a good, solid brass bell, weighing at least half the cat's body weight, will usually prevent them from chasing birds and climbing up onto the furniture. ;)

Post by: OSHIROmodels on June 06, 2016, 07:06:36 AM: Fortunately it's from a chocolate bunny ;)

Interesting about the cross, I've got a couple of pictures that have them and a couple that have not. I'm assuming it's a more modern addition then?

I did see a couple of photos on my 'travels' (internet) of rough plaster work and in hindsight I should've done a few exposed stone patches ::)

Ah well, the roof is well and truly stuck on so no chance of that now lol

No treatment on the bases as the structure does most of the work and the gloop I use doesn't warp over small areas :)

Got another base on the go but this is for a different client (keeping it in the same thread for ease). I'm still pondering the best look for the posh house but I'm nearly there and will start that soon enough.

This one is in a similar style to the first one I did but keeping it different enough so it's unique.

There will be a little wall at the side of the small outhouse, a wood supported colonnade under the building jetty and probably a tree :)

Title: Re: Spanish building bases - Another base, nearly complete
Post by: OSHIROmodels on August 30, 2016, 09:51:04 AM: Thanks chaps :)

The textured paint is already a creamy colour, it gets a wash of thin brown ink and then a suitable drybrush of off white. Hope that helps :)

I was fortunate to see the ground work and growies added earlier. It really is going to be a lovely model, I am sure the new owner will be very pleased. :)

Makes one consider doing 28mm Peninsular Nappies. lol

Nah, they are just corner supports to make sure the material edges have a secure bond.

There'll be a upper colonnade (lasered at work) and some decent planting to go on and a high-ish surrounding wall. It's also a bit bigger than was originally intended but the construction is a bit simpler than the others so that makes up for it.

Yes, those are dice in the corners, they are old and never get used (until now :D ).

The base needs cutting down and I'll do that at work tomorrow along with the upper colonnade :)

It's a textured masonry paint called Santex (basically emulsion with bits in). It's getting increasingly difficult to get hold of but luckily I've got a 5ltr tub that should last till I snuff it :D

I bet there is a tiny little estate agent out there somewhere who has it earmarked as a holiday home.

Post by: ARKOUDAKI on September 23, 2016, 09:10:32 AM: Came out great James. I especially love the way the roof came out, with the various colored tiles.

Speaking of roofs, what material would you recommend for doing Japanese castle walls and citadels? I have seen your own great Japanese buildings and always wanted to tackle a castle. Have you ever done any 'how-to' build articles on your work in this area? If so, please do share.

Again, a great Spanish building that I am sure the new owner will be very proud of!
