Queen Street part 2

For this project I used a reference picture with a row of derelict shops. I never follow the picture to build a copy. The picture is the base to create the scene. Every part of the building will get another appearance. In this way even a small scene can look interesting.

 

For this building I searched carefully the colours to follow my colour scheme. To refresh your mind, I have put the colour scheme below.

For the choice of the textures I used the scheme as a reference. Most textures are from the High Street shopfronts from Scalescenes. The brick covering of the shopfront is aged brown brick from Scalescenes and for the garden wall I also used the brown garden wall textures from Scalescenes. The grey plywood textures are from CG textures, made to size and the shop sign is made using the RGB colours that fit the colour scheme.

The picture gives the first impression of the building. I still have to add the roof and do some weathering. The weathering and finishing of the scene will be done when I have finished the complete building.

 

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

 

Regards,

 

Job

That looks very convincing, especially the plywood screens in the windows which I don't think I've seen modelled before!

My only suggestion might be a small poster or two on the ground floor brickwork, or possibly a bit of low-key period-specific graffiti. Bare expanses of brickwork at the front of neglected buildings (I'm just assuming from the sign it's the front) within easy reach of everyone rarely remain untouched for long!

Ian, thanks for the complement.

I will see what I can do with you suggestions when I have finished the complete building.

 

Kind regards,

Job

Hi Job, what an interesting building - and a bit sad too, but such is life. I agree with Ian, the plywood looks very convincing.

 

Did Rarlow & Sons close forever, or have they just moved to another neighbourhood?

In this row of three shops, there is still one open.

The other two are closed now, because the building is waiting for demolation. In teh end of the 1950's project development corporation getting more influence.

So for one of my next dioram's I can create one of them or maybe both on their new location. 

My mind is already working with this lovely idea.

That's a good idea. This is another advantage of building separate dioramas or layouts of the same area.
