discussion Ron's Miniart Factory Ruin

[RonGlass]

Thanks Guys ! The irony here us, this side will hardly be seen at all, its front-facing unless I come up with another premise idea for the base. Still a lot of fun to build and I could always put a mirrored tile behind it in my showcase

[RonGlass]

Thank You Monica, I'm happy you like the steel, you're the first to notice that feature ! Yayy ! All those tiny rivets weten't all for naught ! Lol :thumb2: :smiling::smiling:

Hi Ron
This has come on a lot and it is looking great. The damage is very realistic. As others have said it will be a great backdrop.

[RonGlass]

Thanks Jim !

I believe the construction phase is nearing the end, will be starting the base soon. I still need to add the two doors, and I have some thin microscope slides that I can use as broken glass debris from the shattered windows, once the painting is done. Otherwise, I'm itching to move on from here. I hope you all like, and any observations or comments are greatly desired if I have overlooked anything, Please.

 

[RonGlass]

One detail that I would love to include would be damaged flood light fixtures over each door. Does anybody here have any suggestions for afternarket examples ? Otherwise I may try scratchbuilding some.

Nicely.done.

 

[RonGlass]

Thank You !

Ron, I like the dust encrusted brick walls from nearby artillery explosions which many seem to miss and the amount of debris on the steps. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

If they're damaged...scratch build it.

Thanks Richard, it was indeed a messy build lol. I did rummage my spares box and found 2 Miniart reflectors that I can damage with a Dremel then scratch the rest, so good there.

 

[minitnkr]

Excellent damage/rubble but the ironwork steps/railings really set it apart. Well done.

That looks really good. I like things with a used look about them, and this building has certainly seen some use. Even if it was artillery practice.
