Villers-Bocage Table design

[Hami]

I echo the others' sentiments...well done!

Thank you,

Over last weekend and today I have managed to finish two more buildings.

These are the other side of Rue Currie. There is three main buildings with a garage at the end.
The corner shop that sits at the start of Rue Currie and the High street (WIP for painting), the smaller house (being painted now), the larger house (shown bellow) and garage building (shown bellow)

The small garage at the end of this street. This building will have pallets, barrels boxes etc inside it. all of which will be 3d printed as well.

Wow, just lovely!

Wow, just lovely!

thank you.

Those look great, too!

I have managed to get another building of Rue Currie finished.

This is the smaller house, this will sit between the corner shop and the larger house.

Looking good

In between painting I have also been doing some other little extra bits.

Some newspapers that will be scattered around the board.

[CapnJim]

Those newspapers look the part.  Well done!

Sorry I have not updated in a while, I have been busy with work.

Since my last update I have managed to achieve the following:

- Design and slice the missing building for the High Street section.



- Slice the design so I can print and prime this week, when the weather clears up.

Reference design for the buildings I am currently painting.



- Painted the corner shop on Rue Currie (this completing the street) - Far right building on reference design above.





- Painted the shed / garage that is placed on the high street next top the above building. I need to paint the rear door still but I can still get it on the table like this so I am happy. I have also got pallets, barrels, cans, boxes etc to go inside this building.





- Started to paint the the building on the left of the above shed / garage.

The blowing newspapers are magnificent.

this is the kind of unhinged project that represents this site at its very best! Love the touches like interior detail and table scatter. Sir, we salute you!

[CapnJim]

Your progress is quite impressive.  Well done!

[HerbertTarkel]

Project is awesome, those papers are a great little touch!

Thanks, I largely underestimated the time it would take to do the interiors. I also have tables, lamps, rugs etcs.

Your progress is quite impressive.  Well done!

Thanks, slower than I was hoping for but getting there.

Project is awesome, those papers are a great little touch!

Thanks, hopefully they look the part when placed on the board.

Really nicely done, especially the interiors.

If I may be so bold as to offer a suggestion or two?

Have you considered adding guttering and downpipes to yoyr builds? It really adds something to domestic and industrial buildings, ties them together and is really easy and cheap to do.  I know you have added them into the prints in your earlier builds.

Down pipes are readily made from plastic rod with a slightly larger plastic tube cut into segments as the joining sections.  After you cut out the segements of the larger tube just slice a cross section out and they will fit around the smaller tube/rod. Gutters can be easily formed from half-round plastic rod or L or U shaped plastic strips. You will usually get at least two buildings worth out of the average Evergreen packet. In addition to tieing the building together visually, you can also use it to stratgically cover joins at building edges if you need to.

If you want to have the floors detachable, it's easy enough to cut the downpipes so that the joins are at the level of the detachable floor.

My second suggestion would be to ease back on the amount of grit you are adding to your render.  Rendering walls, especially on MDF and even resin can add another dimension to a build. It's easy to overdo it though and end up with what looks like pebbledash. The walls in your referenc photos look a lot smoother.  With  3D printing or resin it's usually OK to forego the rendering process as you can add texture by creating the odd depression, divot or crack via sanding, carving with a blade or simply paint, if you so desire. A key reason why I prefer 3D prints to MDF, which requires a lot more work to pass off as an actual structure.

Anyway, it's gorgeous stuff  and these are just humble suggestions to add to what you have done. I could never master the 3D design and print execution like you have.
