John,
That looks very good indeed.

John Thanks for the support and thanks to SWMBO too

Mike Thanks for the tip. So far the silicone moulds seems to be pretty good at releasing.

Thanks Scottie

So from just a few casting experiments this has grown into a full scale build of a sort of Inn. Lots still to do but making progress. The deck will be finished after the lower story is painted. The roof and some of the walls still need texturing, and the tower needs a roof. Of course there will be lights.





Oh and those are mounting blocks out front for any riders coming or going.

Ta very much chaps. This is still keeping my mojo going on what is for me, a long build.

After endless hours of painting, touching up, repainting etc etc a have now got a bus for my merry band of adventurers.

Nice little model but an "osti de cochon a peinturer" as we might say here. Give me some splinter camouflage at 1/35 any day.

John

Hi John
That is looking excellent. Casting has been a real success. As you have the moulds now you will be able to build a whole town!

Evening John,

That some great work, the castings have come out really well!
The whole thing looks mysterious with its dungeon like doors....very nice indeed.
Look forward to seeing some painting :thumb2:

Thanks very much and I found it in my juvenile imagination.

Thanks Jim but don't let SWMBO hear any whispers of this getting any bigger.

Si Thanks mate. Really having some fun with this. I think I am more of an architect than an engineer.

Don’t know about that John, I think you are more of an artist than most of us though...this is great....

I just had to like all you updates as this is such an interesting thread.

[Guest]

GREAT WORK!

Great inn John...I'm looking forward to the deck if that's what the stairs is leading to. With your skills I'd like to see you try a Minangkabau house :smiling2:...that would be interesting.

Cheers,
Richard

Loving all of this build :smiling3:.

I can see that all of you are frequenters of Inns. Thanks a million for all the support. Scottie I don't think I could do as well as you with your vehicles and weathering. I agree with JR those Minang-a-thingies would be a challenge. By the way I didn't mention that this is about 32mm scale say around 1/55th.

I had been struggling with the roof for the little tower of this inn. I knew the shape I wanted but wasn't sure how to achieve the look of tiles without months of work. Finally I turned to my old faithful Magic Sculpt and a technique I saw on the interwebs of adding texture by gently running a ball of scrunched up tin foil over the surface. I have also been cladding the third floor tower room and the entrance door on the deck. The little duck in the 2nd picture is my stab at a duck weather vane which will top off the tower, and give the inn the name The Dirty Duck.
