BSC2022 - aircav’s slum tenement

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 

[Blackwolf]

Gorgeous

Nothing to thank me for.
As my Grandad was fond of saying, " Only children and fool's go about pointing out, the invisible and the obvious. "
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. "
So I'm not sure what I learnt. If anything 

As mentioned at York. I really do think this is a cracking idea,and model.

[Lost Egg]

I really like how different it looks in each photo, cracking job.

[McMordain]

Well that looks incredible 

[marianas_gamer]

Looks great! I like the multiple staircases and the textures that you are building.

Thanks fellas 

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 

[Vanvlak]

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

Make your own roller.
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.

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.

This is one FANTASTIC build. WOW!

Thanks for the advice Mark

Thank you 

[has.been]

Really impressed with it all! 

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.

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
