Buildings Project WWII

[Sangennaru]

Wow! Your work gets better and better! So how soon we will get to see these live?

I've now a new commission in action, but i hope soon!
The point is that here I'm looking for a SPONSOR... i was hoping for Ainsty Casting, but they disappeared from this forum since December! =(
As long as i don't find a sponsor (someone interested in the masters) i will proceed slow, investing a relative amount of time and money!

anyway, I gave some dephts to the new facade!

I wish I would win in a lottery, I could then hire you!

The new facade looks more than great! How about also a facade without the door? Just the windows?

[Sangennaru]

New cuts arrived. Before assembling the new model (the one in the last 3d render) i started working on a  more recent commission in 15mm from the kind guy of Resina Planet.

here are a couple of previews:

roof tiles:


first facade - three more to come!

aaand



when i work i'm pretty fast. If I wasn't so lazy...

Your stone work looks great.
but you brick work is wrong.
maybe French and German Brick is not as good as British Brick work.
plus difference countries do difference styles of brick work.
worth checking up

[Sangennaru]

brick? stone? I didn't use neither stone or bricks.

Precisely, some concrete (plaster) part could be meant to look like stone, but in that kind of buildings there are no parts in real stone, actually, exception made for some very rich ones.

and for the bricks, i didn't use them at all.
so could you explain more about the right brick work, please?

Holy s**t, Jack!  
I totally missd this thread! What a quality, pal. Superb stuff here. And what a big project.... I would be really surprised if you cannot find a company interested in those pieces. Anyway, if I was in your shoes, I would seriously think to start something on my own. If I only had the money, you'd work for me now!  
Keep going, this stuff is really top notch Jack

Great work on those 15mm facades Jack!  Will you be doing the whole building in that detail? 

[David]

the picture where the shell went through the wall to the right of the door.
it shows the brick work  and you have painted it like bricks ?
unless it ?

Thanks mate! Actually now i've a commission from Resina Planet for those 15mm pieces, so for the moment i'm gonna work in this scale!

Yes, i'm following his work on the very fine fantasy houses! Actually a week ago Ainsty wrote me back, but this is not the period-style they are interested about. as I said, at the moment i'm just not searching for the sponsor, i will start the search again when i'll finish with that commission.
Well, if someone here could be interested of course, ...here I am!

Great work on those 15mm facades Jack!   Will you be doing the whole building in that detail?  

yep, that's the plan. I've everything ready for the basic construction. the roof will have windows but not playable, just aesthetic. I'm gonna sculpt three basic houses and a corner one, quite a big job!

Sorry pal, i'm not getting what you mean. Can you quote the picture? I'm interested in all the suggestions, but this one is hard to understand, since i think i didn't use any brick in my models! ^^

cheers

Double posting is bad, I know...

I think he means this?

[Sangennaru]

Ahh!

Ok, I must admit this was quite an experiment. Considering the use of rubble - destroyed pieces and their bricks on the products available on the market (sometimes they just follow a broken line with no pattern) i'm pretty happy of the result, but any advice about could be REALLY appreciated ^^

It actually doesn't look too disimilar from a brick nogging infill panel that you would often find in old timber framed buildings. We also found them in the walls of an Edinburgh tenement during some conversion work between timber frames on the interior face of the wall. Everything was bound by horse hair mortar. That situation is not too disimilar from your building really.

[David]

YES it does look like standard scottish Brick work  .
I have seen old Barn's and out houses built like the picture or very very old cottages .
But most good pre war scottish Building were made of Good Stone, eg Glasgow, Stirling, Perth etc
Plus the Granite City, now whats that made of and its called
Even Broomhall Castle don't have brick work like that.
But my job takes me all over Scotland and never seen brick work that Bad.
