Ultra Low Relief Warehouse-How I did it

I thought I'd put this up, just as a guide really to show how I did it, there are other ways I just find it easier to do it this way.

 

First off I print out all of the base layers at draft quality(uses less ink and the base layers will be covered over), then print out all of the SEEN texture sheets at best quality.

Now I would normally then spray them with inkjet fixative, this protects them from the glue you end up with all over your fingers!!!

 

I didn't have any inkjet fixative left so carried on with the build regardless, as this is a flat wall I knew I would be able to spray the fixative on when all was complete, but before I glued the windows in place, still in the light close up you can see all the excess glue icon_mutter.gif :-

 

The base layers are glued to correct thickness of card and cut out, you will notice I have printed off a full A4 sheet of red brick paper, as I'm not fitting any windows into this side it made it easier to do this, just glue the sheet to the base layer showing the window arches, but dont cut out the windows, then trim off excess sheet.

You would normally print out blank wall texture sheets on to the correct card which you then cut up to fit the individual spaces where you don't want windows, looks like a mosiac until you put the front ledges on, to hide all of the joins.

Once this is all assembled I sprayed the wall with the inkjet fixative then glued in the windows, the inkjet fixative makes the windows go frosty, so if you want that effect thats an easy way of doing it!

Finally on the layout, still need to practice on weathering as I'm basically crap at it!!

What do you think I should put behind the large warehouse windows?

Just a blank colour, or something else, can only be a thin bit of paper or print out, just haven't found anything suitable to put behind them.

 

Cheers

Hi

nice little tutorial,thanks :D

 

On a couple of low relief industrial workshops i built i found some suitable photos of engineering workshop backgrounds and printed them out,i used acrylic paints to blend the floor colour into background ,as the doors are open.i also printed out a couple of details like tool cupboards and coat lockers,stuck to card and cut out.These where glued just in front of background to give a little extra details.For weathering the brickwork i use grated artist pastal.Just lightly brush on the dust.

 

Regards

Terry

Depending on how much work, you want to do the possibilties for things in the warehouse is unlimited. You can have LEDS representing mig welder, or a scale workshop,

 

 

But the idea of a photo is good, and if you put a few 3 dimensional objects in, it should look rather good . .

Thanks for the info, I will be putting 'goods' on the platform/dock area of the warehouse, I have to fit the doors yet, although they will be in an open position.

 

I just need something to go behind the windows, can really only be paper as it's only 1mm from the backscene.
