Foam Buildings (1 Viewer)

Here are some foam buildings I've been working on for the last year or so. As you can see they need to be painted. I've got so many projects going at once, I need to stop and finish one. But right now, Thanks to Tim AKA Fishead, posting pics is my priority.

The brick work on your foam buildings is most excellent. Probably the best to date in my opinion for small masonery. Keep up the great work.

Mike I like those painted destroyed buildings did you make those?
I think if you went online to a wallpaper site and printed up some wall paper and reduced it in size and glued it to the inside of those buildings and maybe add some burn marks on the wall paper and a little dirt and soot on it. And also maybe print up and reduce in size some pictures for the walls and make some match stick frames. You know dress it up a bit and those would look awsome.
I made a hard wood floor in one that I did out of small balsa wood strips and stained them and it looked real good to me. You could do the same on the floors but crack the ends to look like a battle damaged floor.
Those are some great looking buildings you,ve got there, with a little more work they could look incredible.

Thanks Tim, I made those a couple of years ago. I have much larger ones. I was just trying to whip them out for a show one year. I painted two gray and two brown. As you can see, the brown did not sell as well. I know I should do more detailing of the inside and outside around the doors and windows. I figure anyone buying them can add there own artistic talents to them. I just started making some cardboard and foam houses. I cut down some to small wall sections into 1/4" veneer like pieces. Then I glue on corner sections and wood trim, made of course out of foam. I'm having trouble with the roofs, so I will probably use 1/8" plywood. I love this posting, I get to take all my old stuff and show it, Thanks again. I will post an old french farmhouse that you might like. I'm still working on the blooming roof. I will post it tommorow. Shiloh thanks for the compliments. It's good to see your work appreciated, Mike.

Here are pics of my farmhouses, they have two doors and 15 windows. Each window is usable, as are the doors. The second floor slides out, and the full dormer roof is removeable. The wall sections that come with it are 15", with a 1" newell post. The house measures going by roof 14" x 13 5/8" x 11'' to the chimney. Some have the main front door centered on the long side, and some have centered front doot on the narrow side. I have 12 for sale, and I'm in discusion right now about distributions. Here are some pics, you might have seen these already, but with a good paint job, these would really make a nice setup. They go with pretty much any era. Enjoy the pics.

Don't mind the shaky hand.

I was playing around with the close I'll get better, one more.

This is the style wall that comes with them, there are four. As I said, I'm trying to work out the kinks of distributing them. These took me months to make, and they need good homes to good people. I hope they spark some intreast the Christmas Village people seem to like them. Mike
