Some Scratch Built Buildings For JJD Sudan Figures... (3 Viewers)

[mikemiller1955]

I just finished a couple of Sudan structures for my JJD First Sudan War collection...I always liked the color of the K&C Desert buildings (the SP Desert buildings)...so I tried to stay with that sand colored/burnt orange look...I put a lot of wood in these...probably more than is what is considered authentic...but I think they break up the solid color of the structures...these are both pretty large structures...one (the smaller 17"s) is to replace an office diorama shelf building that I sold to a Treefrogger a couple of months ago...the other (30"s) is just to compliment the smaller for a nice large scale diorama...I finished off the underside of these so they look more "complete"...here are some pics...I will set up a large scale diorama and post it on this thread next week...

Michael:

Brilliant work! I think you achieved just the right blend of textures on the building facings. And the time paid off on the wood grain effect. That contrast between the sand walls and the bluish tint on the "weathered" wood creates a lot of visual interest without being distracting. I don't think you overdid the wood. For buildings of this size, it seems perfectly appropriate. Congrats on two great new pieces.

Mike I Love the look of these buildings. What really caught my eye is the "double" level porch with wood flooring. Cant wait to see the set up with figures

These are great Mike, I am a big fan also of the colour and desert range of buildings. Love to have the talent like you, giving me the option of any building I desired to layout. These look a perfect shape, probably for me about the maximum size so as not to over whelm the figures. These will look fantastic with your other K&C buildings when they are set out in a village/town setting. Looking forward to seeing some diorama's. Cheers, Robin.

Really nice work Mike. Can't believe how large the structures are. Very realistic looking, good coloring and style. Think you have perfectly captured the period and stlye. Chris
