These buidings are made from coffee stirring sticks. I fnally got enough done to make a "burg". The roof of the barn was made using a sheet of prefab stuff as opposed to "stick built". Almost forgot, these are in 1/72 scale.

These are beautifully made and photographed. One would never realize that they are 1/72bd scale:) You could use these to make a movie.

Captain...that's some pretty nice work on your buildings...I have done a few also...and find the more I do...the better I get at it...it's fun and pretty economical too...very nice creations...
 
Thank you all for the kind remarks. I have been away from "Hobbying" for a while and this has provided me with some much needed inspiration. Not to mention the inspiration from all the other great works on this forum like yours Mike.

I've enjoyed seeing these for the second time around as much as I did the first time I saw them Captain. It's nice to see you at play again you've been missed...............The Lt.
 
Those buildings are brilliant love the stone chimney thanks for posting the pics.
 
Byoootiful composition! Love it. Make me want to start a new line of collection. Always wanted theACW but I am now stucked with WWII. Maybe in the future if budget allows.
 
Captain...I really like what you have used for your window panes...is it hard plastic...can you explain what you used please...thanks...
 
Two things:

1) Your buildings are great, really lovely work...and the figures look great too. I don't know how anyone can paint that small.

2) You drink too much coffee.
 
The photography of your models is really nice as well. Were they taken outside?
 
Wayne- the stone chimney is made from aquarium gravels. Noli- 1/72 scale plastic is very inexpensive. Mike- I used clear hard plastic from blister packs of any kind of product packaging. Stuff that was going to get thrown away. The problem was cutting them to size then setting them down and not being able to find them.
Scott- they were taken indoors under florescent (sp) lights.
 
Thought I'ld mention that this is just a temporary or photo dio. I spread out some store bought "playsand" on a piece of chipboard and set up on that. I sprinkled a little (I emphasize little because of the cost of that stuff and I wasnt going to be able to reclaim it) "Woodland Scenics" grass and a few shrubs/weeds on it and went to town (sorry for the pun but it was intentional). Scott in this picture you can see part of the light I was using. It is one of those craft/hobby magnifying glass lights that have the extending arms. I also used use a much bigger industrial one that I bought at work. The back drop is just a series of photos I took locally and printed them out on plain copy paper and pieced them together so they would fit and then taped them onto a piece of foam. On some of the pics the paper didnt stick together very well but I didnt notice until after.

One of these days these buidings will be part of a very large set up with HO scale trains.
 
Wow, this is most impressive, even better as it's only 20mm.

Cap

That is an outstanding piece of work you've carried out there-just love those buildings- and the figures?????:eek: I'll be the first to admit 1/72nd have always left me a little cold-until I saw George's (Warrior) epics that he has posted on here. But I have to be honest at first glance I really thought your pictures were Frontline Reb troops. Very very impressive and very well done
