Ken,

That is a very detailed and well proportioned building.

I think the price is a good deal too.

 

[Jagdpanther]

Price is good.

Hello Good People,
The Red Lion Inn is flat backed. As a bit of side trivia we named it the Red Lion Inn because that is one of the most popular names around. There are over 600 Red Lion Inns & Pubs in Great Britain.
All the Best,
Ericka

Very nice model.

Ahh!
Lydia and Kitty seem to be meeting everyone in the village today... it's Mr. Bingley. Perhaps he will host a country dance at the Red Lion...

Ouch!

All right, builders, let see what we can make!

This will eventually get around to the Jane Austin house.

Last night I was at a vernissage and so I walked in with my wife and recognized a good friend originally from Detroit. Looking around I said so where is the art? My friend said, “Look it’s all around you.” Feeling a bit sheepish I looked and saw the stuff. I’d been expecting some framed things to give me a clue. But nothing was framed, and much of it wasn’t even rectangular. So I looked more closely and like Brad I said ouch! They were going for $2400. So, prudently, I asked my friend, “What do you think?”
“Well,” he says, “I look at it and give it the lane test.” “What test is that,” I asked. “Well,” he says, “I ask myself, if I were walking down a lane and someone had put one of these out in the garbage, would I pick it up?” Good test, I thought.
Well I sure wouldn’t have picked any of this stuff up. (Maybe that says more about me than about anything else including art.)
So then we got onto another topic and he explained to me that when he was a kid inner Detroit had about two million people and now it had only about one million. “Many homes for less people,” he said. Then he explained that banks were stuck with houses where people had defaulted on the mortgages in today’s nervous economy. He also said that with more expensive houses, when banks listed them, people came in and emptied them. Sometimes, copper pipes, fixtures and all and so these gutted beauties were sold for a dollar. Now maybe this is an urban legend but still …
Now if this Jane Austin house retails for over hundred, and a real house can be had for a dollar maybe you can buy a whole real neighbourhood instead. Retire to Detroit. Become something like an urban squire

But seriously Ken good work and I'm always impressed with the amount of time you spend on the forum keeping us abreast of things.

Well I found this one in one of the folders and I couldn't resist. It does show the stone texture pretty well, even though it was one of the prototype paint versions.

Love this one Ken!

A beautiful scenic piece, Ken,
excellent work.
You wouldn't, by chance, have any picture in your archives to show it any "Classics" figures, do you?

The stonework does look very nice. I need to brush up on my stone work skills.

Ken,

Really amazing! Best facade piece I have seen! I especially love the look of the windows. How did you do the drapery effects in the windows? They almost look like you painted the drapery onto the inside of the window. But that will mean that the windows must be made or coated with a clear material.

Hi there!
I took a look in my folder and found this image of the original master pattern photographed with two of my favorite Classic Gloss F&I period figures to date. The paint on this one was just for a catalog shot to meet the deadline so it is not as strong as the final version that is pictured earlier in this thread.
Note the use of the Garden Walls from our Napoleonic Collection here. This gives the impression that there is 'more' beyond the wall. The flowers and bushes are our H&A custom pieces.
This should give you an idea of the size relationship if used with traditional 54mm figures as these are.
I think this would make a great backdrop for the new 45th Regt of Foot sets that are due in soon... perhaps a company with musik and colours drawn up in front with the mounted officer.

Thank You!
The window frames are 'glazed' on the back side with .015 clear plastic. The 'drapes' are painted directly on the 1/8" deep recess I designed behind the windows to give a sense of depth.

Thanks for the photo, Ken,
now I remember it. It was one of the first photos you posted in another thread when announcing the facade.
It is a great piece of work and a large assembly of the 45th would look great.
