Irish War barrack building-updated 24/11 finished pics
« on: November 14, 2012, 02:43:45 PM »
Been asked to make a few buildings for somebody for Irish War of Independance
28mm, scratchbuilt, stone faced house to be used as a barrack building
Still have roof to tile, chimney pots gutter/drainpipes to add
Will look better with a coat of primer, but it won't stop raining  :'(

A ggod bit of inspiration to me, as I am looking for stuff suitable for 1920's Britain.
Thank you!

Metal castings by Langley Models
They make bits for OO railway modellers, plenty of scope for adapting for 28mm

Excellent work! Just as grand as your previous farmhouse.

I wish you would consider partnering with a caster/retailer on your models. The hobby would surely be a better place if you did.  :)

I did make the masters for the buildings released by Nigel Higgins for his SCW range when he had Anglian Miniatures
These are now owned/produced by Empress
I did also make an IWI farmhouse, with plans to make/cast more
UNfortunately work and a 1:1 scale extension got in the way
I may make some more masters if any producers out there want to cast/sell them?
Cheers for the encouragement :)

Looking good, McYellowbelly!

I am enjoying watching this come to life.
Those rust streaks are a nice touch.

Looking forward to the finished article.
