Time to get back to modelling I
think. To break myself back in gently, I’m going to build the latest release
from Scalescenes, the R007a Crossing Keepers Cottage. It’s not a huge or
complicated build, but it’s just the right size to get me back in the swing. It
also gives me the chance to use my new windows from Scaleglaze. I’m building it
in brown brick (as usual) I must diversify a little, and try some different
textures. There’s plenty to choose from after all.
It all starts as usual by cutting
out the base layers, to be covered by the detailed cover layers. As you can
see, the join or overlap is cut into the brick. This when wrapped around the
finished wall, cleverly disguises the join.
Once the walls are put together
and before the windows are fitted, the window sills are put into place. I like
to colour the raw edges before I fit them. It helps when I’ve got a vast array
of pens to chose from.
It’s now time to fit the new
windows. I must admit, I like the idea of not having to cut out these little windows,
it’s a lot easier to use something that is already made.
I like
these windows, I like them a lot.
Next comes very clever bit, it’s
the inclusion of drainpipes. These are built into one of the internal walls. So
when the model is complete, There is no chance of knocking off the drainpipes.
A chimney stack comes next, again
with a cleverly wrapped cover layer to hide the join in the brickwork.
That’s my progress so far, I’m
taking it slow, so as not to aggravate my tennis elbow.
Until Next Time...........
