African Warehouse, my first building...

[mortimer]

...a warehouse, an easy estructure building for a future Congo Station...

[Plynkes]

Yes, just the ticket. I wish I had one, I really don't have enough in the way of colonial buildings.

[Svennn]

Thats great, I particularly like the internal floor texture - nice detailing that.

Nice Thatch!

Any pointers/tips/hows on its construction?

[Hammers]

A beut. First attempt, you are saying?

[Smokeyrone]

I like it a lot.

No exposed brick/stone under the plaster, which is refreshing, as not all colonial structures like   had chunks of plaster falling off, yet. 

( Many buildings resemble the local "Tex Mex" restaurant with too much exposed brick, but spotless, first rate exterior finish everywhere else)

The roof is very nice.  Brush bristles?

Kudos!

That building looks amazing. Nice detail in the painting and interior. Thanks for sharing.

Very clean nice model
Very useful building. The roof works very well.
I may just steal you idea if you don't mind

[Smokeyrone]

That little breeze area, above the door, that is the kinda detail that makes a model standout!

Great!

[Wirelizard]

Very nice!

As others have said, would love to know what the thatching is made of, and the texturing on the walls & floor too!

[mortimer]

thanks!!!

Yes, Smokeyrone, brush bristles, a very dramatic moment glue all that!! and the walls with filler

And there is no problem gamer mac... it's such and honour for me...

about the tips, tricks and all that, I promise to make a small resume of the work process when I have a while
and a photographic tutorial of the next project...

thanks again

"The african warehouse step by step"

First I build the structure with a base floor in foam core board. I assemble the different parts with glue.

Second I paint the floor with glue mix with sand and add some grave and little stones...

I paint the whole house with filler -except the roof. The roof is made with brush bristles and glue.

After all I add the wood details in the windows and the door. The door is made with a 3mm foam core board and bambu mat sticks.

Finally a whole paintwork... and that's all. Thanks

Excellent work and very talented. I hope you dont mind me joining the list of copycats along with gamer Mac. 

[Traveler Man]

A very nicely executed and useful model. I'll definitely steal borrow the thatch idea for my African project.
