discussion How I Scratch Build A Ruined Building.

[Guest]

Next I painted the bricks,using tera rosa,yellow ochre and burnt umber.(oils)


Firstly I painted all the bricks with tera rosa using a drybrush motion.


I then picke out a few bricks with yellow ochre and burnt umber.


All the best.

Next I put in the window frames.


For this I used strips of wood for ship building.


I first made the basic frame using simple butt joints.(bottom and top window)For the cross section of the frame, I used two pieces of wood, and made an half lap joint, this was then fitted in place(top window).I have one cross section to do.


All the best.


Ralph

all looking good,Ralph,


the tera rosa,for the base of the bricks is a very good color,and well done with


the mottling of the other two colors,as a wall is never the same all over,looks great,


nice work with the windows as well,you do need that step in them of the other frame and the inner,

Thank you Monica.Your comment's about the brick work please me(I must have painted a few thousand individual bricks on my rail layout)


I reckon I might put a few panes of broken glass in the window frames.

 

[monica]

yes that will look good,I just use plastic card from packing of things,


its about 1mm or so,

Thanks for your kind comments Robert,especially about selling my idea's.


It's always good to make something yourself and I'm glad you are getting some tips(that's what it's here for).


It's certainly ok to tag along late.


Many moons ago I wrote a few articles for Military Modelcraft International,albeit they were on figure's

Just caught up with this Ralph and its looking excellent so far.

I fixed in place the last cross section of the window frame.


Next I added the floor joist's using 3mmby3mm pieces of wood(used for ship modelling).


The ground floor won't be put in until the building is on a base,but will be made the same way as the others.


Ralph.
