Great work all round Richard,

 

[tr1ckey66]

Brilliant work Richi. You should go into interior decorating!

It's been said before but I'll say it again, your attention to detail is really fantastic. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Guy's and Girl for those great comments.

so its been a while, since i posted some progress but here it is.

Nothing big but lots of small stuff.

First I altered the street and sealed it with matt acrylic from Vallejo.

I used 5 different shades for the street before sealing it.

But here are the pics.

Next up was the small roofs were I put on some 120 grit sandpaper and painted them with different shades of black and grey. then i took a brush and used some satin and glossy varnish to simulate the edges of the tar paper. And made the lead seal on the roof tiles, but that needs some paint and weathering.

However, I have one serious problem with it...I didn't make it ...love it, want it.

WoW, fantastic work Richi, what more can i say it looks like a real one, well it is real, just smaller,

all the detail with the windows and doors, and how did you do the handles and the plates for the handle,superb

haha... ....... oh , you know what i see that your bottle is diffidence from what i have , maybe get a pic, tomorrow,as

my battery is dead for the phone which is my camera ,

100%acrylic resin

matt

varnish

70.520

thats what it says on the bottle

 

[Richi72]

Thanks Moni

Well the door handles are made with some copper and solder and he plates are made of paper.

The Vallejo site has this description of the

28.518

Permanent Matt Varnish

Can not be eliminated once dry. It is recommended to apply two coats of varnish, with an interval of at least 4 hours. Quick drying Varnish can be diluted with water if desired. U.V. Resistant.

and for the 70.520

Matte Varnish

Waterbased acrylic varnish with new, quick drying formula, and an acrylic resin of extraordinary hardness and permanence. Protects painted models from dust and scratches, dirt and humidity. Acrylic Varnish should never be applied until the paint has dried completely (see note), and it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours. The varnish should be applied in fine coats at approximately 5-10 minute intervals.

70.520 Varnish Matte 17 ml. has the same description as the 26.518 Matt Varnish 60 ml bottle. Maybe it has to do with the ml. in the bottle, mine is a 500ml bottle and maybe with their range of paints like the panzer aces have

Hope this helps.

Cheers Richi

 

[monica]

ta Richi, and i feel bad about taking the attention away for you superb build,

[Richi72]

Thanks Moni,

No problem, always glad to help, I use allot of unconventional stuff,

Here is a pdf of my door hinges and plates which I cut with my plotter (feel lucky that I have such a machine).

Maybe you have some use for it.

This is looking awesome Richi

 

[Richi72]

Hello all,

Well, did some little stuff on the street and tried to figure out the interior design butt that's not really my forte.

I finished up the inside walls and put on some floors, then I made the rooftilles for the top of the roof with a 6mm half tube and made some cuts in the tube and glued a 1mm stab on it, i think it worked out quite well.

But as always here are the picies.
