Chinese farm *Roof added*
« on: 18 September 2011, 02:45:34 PM »
Hello chaps  :)

Just a couple of photos of a BoB Chinese farm that I'm doing as a commission at the moment. The roof is still to make for the main building but the rest is just about done.




I'll post some more pictures when it's complete  :)

cheers

James

Looking good already so I guess it could only be very nice once finished ;)

Lovely work, James!
And I'll copy it for a build myself ;)

How do you do the tiles on the roof?

Excellent work.
Look forward to seeing it finished.
May I ask what material was used for the walls?
Thanks.

Thanks very much chaps  :)

Questions all together as it makes sense that way.

The walls are from perspex and have brick details etched on to them in parts and the tiles are a cast of a plastic tile sheet I got in Japan a few years ago (unfortunately, no longer available and believe me, I've dragged my wife around as many hobby shops out there as possible :) ).

The cast tile sheet, whilst still a bit soft, is layed in a former made from a rather large piece of ABS tubing and left to go off.

And no, I don't have any chickens  lol

cheers

James

Nice work, as always! I have two questions, though. First, why does the small room not seem to have any doors? Second, what is the ledge in the main room for?

Cheers!

Aha, there you have me  ;D I forgot to put a door in and the ledge is there because the floor sheet just wasn't big enough to cover the whole area  lol

Can't get it right all the time  :)

cheers

Oh, ok, I thought that the ledge might have been for some obscure regional ancestor-worship niche!

Are you going to add doors to the gateway?
