Brick Store Front (1 Viewer)

[Scott]

I found this 1/32 scale plastic sheet at the HOBBY BUNKER of a fire station but I really wanted an 1860s store. It sort of works.
I can't remember the name of the company that makes the building fronts and it was the only one the HB had. (and it was on sale!)

The piece was added onto a minimally detailed Styrofoam building to be set among other buildings.

As I've advised before...think these projects out. I do them as time and mood hit me, AND with what materials I have on hand, so they are rough to my eye, but make fun backdrops for miniatures. More like "folk art" than scale models.

I went on GOOGLE and BING maps for satellite views of known buildings like this to see where the chimney and roof hatch might be...

OOPS! "Sign to BE added later."

That is really cool Scott.

Excellent work Scott! I love the grey you used to weather the boards, what shade did you use? The scribed lines make the project, I am getting sore fingers but the barn I am working on looks 1000 times better with the engraved lines!

I just used a generic gray acrylic. I also painted in the lines suggesting the mortal between the brick on the back of the building. Next time I'll use something 3-D. The details on your barns are giving me a few ideas. Thanks.

Excellent work, Scott. Just shows what a little imagination and time can produce!

I was watching The Brother Grimm on DVD the other night and I'd like to do a street like the Goth-y German town in the first part of the movie. That would be good from Knights to Nazis!
