Church Street part 2


Job's Modelling

I had more time to model this week. So here is an update.
The starting point.

The kit from Petite Properties is easy to build when you follow the instructions. Especially when you want to create a shop. The shopfront gives great opportunities.

 

For my pub, I had to make some additional changes. I searched for some usable pub windows on internet. I resized the windows I found and give them an additional text using Publisher.
The door is from the pub-kit of Smart models.

 

The sign is based on a 1959 picture of a pub. I created it with the use of Publisher. Colours and fonts are based on my shop research fitting the Victorian style of the pub.

 

New for me was the use of paint for my modelling. I used paint from the Vallejo and AK modelling range.

 

Although I’m not totally content with the door section, I find to total appearance convincing. The pub will be part of a small street scene.

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

 

Regards,

That was quick! As you say, a convincing scene. Maybe you can put someone in the doorway to hide the slightly leaning door. 

 

I had a look at the Petite Properties website (both of them). Couldn't find your pub but som nice buildings there.

The pub is made is from No 2 Station Road. As you can see you can give a building it's own "personal" character.

The door is fine, its the pub thats leaning ....... hic....... another pint of that please...... 

 

I like the heavy wooden frontage, I have seen many small pubs like that. The frosted glass windows are right, it was illegal in many places to have the inside of a pub visible from the street. Late 1970s in Glasgow for instance.

Thanks for the additional information. I found some original pub windows somewhere on the net and modified them to fit my pub. The only thing I did was toning down the original colour and add te text to the window.

What about a light in the doorway?

 

I like the idea and believe have a suitable light from Langley somewhere. But I will wait until I have finished the complete street scene of my diorama.

But first I have to add te roof to the building.
