shop fronts - 1/43 and bigger

[rue_d_etropal]

Always getting suggestions, some of which I actually take one.

I have had my modular range of building bits for a while, but only up to OO scale. Any bigger and price goes up a lot, and a lot of the parts of a typical town building are easy enough to cratchbuild.

The difficult part is the shop front, and someone asked if I coulup them to 1/43 then added 1/35 as well.

 

It was something I had considered, but this time I would simplify the design, as it did not need to work with other sections, and I could also increase detail, such as barley twist window supports.

 

After a play around I came up with these

 

 

and then I wondered about a corner shop, again I had wanted to do this,, and plan to also do this in smaller scales with reduced detail, and possibly a r2p building.

All a bit angular, so I am tempted to try a design with curved glass in windows, not uncommon in entrances to shop.

Hi Simon,

 

Whats the finish like on these?

Perfect for model buildings. Buildings should not be too smooth. If necessary it is dead easy to smooth down a bit.
