As part of our Waterloo dios at the college this year I was tasked with making some buildings from the village of Plancenoit. Bob showed me a painting and I did some research and here are the results.......

Brilliant workmanship Wayne,

Outstanding work Wayne! That is going to look amazing when soldiers and terrain are added to it. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

{eek3}{eek3}Wauw, they are amazing, that's a proof of great craftsmanship and skills.:salute::
 
Wayne...

you are a casting building machine...

that is spectacular!!!

love the floor level and damaged roof...

very reminiscent of the FL building...
 
Wayne...
the more I look at this...
the more impressed I am with you...
I know by looking at the finished project from all angles how many hours you spent casting and gluing and painting and fabricating a roof...
this is very nice...
the interior of the building is most impressive...
you're very talented...

I like the way you damaged the exposed rectangle bricks...
I squeeze mine gently with a pair of pliers to get that crumbled effect...

how did you do yours?

also explain the underside of your roof that the shingled tiles are adhered to...I use a sturdy thin piece of wood to glue them to...

how do you do yours?
 
Superb Wayne. I know I'll see them later today but what an amazing result. I hope the figures and backdrop do them justice.

Thanks Mike,
Casting was a long process as you know ( for one mould I mix 1 x tablespoon casting powder, 1 x tablespoon Dental powder and three tablespoons Hydrostone, this gives a heavy strong cast and saves on the hydrostone) I now wish I had more than just one mould of the brickwork, could have done with six which would have save a lot of time! As for creating the broken brickwork like yourself I use pliers but as well I use a heavy scriber which I find cracks them just right (see pics). The underside of the roofs are balsa wood, all the roof beams are also Balsa which I find easy to work with and cheap. The floor boards, doors, window frames and etc are paddle poop and match sticks. You mention FL, you are correct I used pics of their buildings as a reference.
Cheers,
Wayne.

Thanks Bob, getting them up two flights of stairs in one go will be most helpful......:wink2:^&grin

.......apparently there's a very long queue and his list of orders are growing by the hour and now 'Weta Workshops' and Peter Jackson are lining him up for some work with the new Dam Busters movie......at this rate he'll need a manager and a purpose built studio, along with a small army of assistants.^&grin

Don't mention 'Dambusters' around Jack, he still wants a dam dio!, if someone finds him a cheap 1/30 Lanc who knows!.....:rolleyes2:^&grin

Wayne...

you probably already have one of these....and probably already use it...

but...if you don't have one...it's a valuable tool for cutting the Hirst Art's casts to exact size...

a small grinder works very well...

they are around $20-$30...pretty cheap...and can be used for lots more applications than grinding the Hydrostone molds...

you can see the Hydrostone dust on the small Ryobi grinder...

it's a nice addition to your tool set if you don't have one...

be forewarned...

it creates a ton of dust when you grind a piece...
