Blatant Plagiarism - apologies to Shipka
« on: 14 June 2020, 02:16:55 PM »
Inspired by Shipkas wonderful buildings in his The Tonkin / Sino Japanese / Boxer Rebellion build project thread. I was so impressed I had to get to the workbench for the first time in over twelve months. Not the same standard but it killed a good few hours of lockdown.





cheers Svennn

Very nicely done.  8)

Just a couple of questions (to potentially continue the chain of plagarism; although 2 sources counts as research!);
Where are the roofing tiles from? (Corrugated metal?)
Where are the window panels from?
Cheers  :)

cheers chaps

Where are the roofing tiles from? (Corrugated metal?)
Where are the window panels from?

the tiles are Plastruct pan tiles vac form sheet and the door/window panels I knocked up with the laser cutter from 5mm acrylic I had lying around. The rest is foamboard and Polyfilla.

Love the building.
May I ask, where did you purchase the front panels of your building?
Is it laser cut?
Thanks.

PS Guess I should have read the comments.
My question has already been asked. o_o

This is truly lovely, glad to see Geoff Lacey's work has been inspirational,
Like you all the windows and lattice doors are specific cuts based on actual traditional designs.

Keep up the good work
