Northall Dock – Pavement


Job's Modelling

1,366 views

In one of the replies on my entry Street Scene Design was written: “Also bear in mind that in the 'fifties' these areas would still have 'flagstone' paving rather than the later concrete types - and they would be rutted & disrupted by vehicles. Road surfaces would often be of cobblestone or granite setts.”

 

For the road surfaces I already choose for granite setts. For the pavement I didn’t make an decision. So after the reply I liked to see if I could create a flagstone paving with granite kerbs.

 

As usually I started with a search for background information and textures. With this information I created some texture sheets for my pavement modelling.

To see if it could work out I decided to build the alley between Farnshawe Ltd. and the warehouse of Roope & Voss Wine and Spirit Merchants.

 

The kerbs I placed individually:

Then I glued the individual cut Yorkstone flags in place. Embossed the pavement to create some depth between the flags.

 

I made the underground for the alley. Glued the pavement and setts in place. Embossed the granite setts on the road and glued the small granite siding in place.

Then I did some additional weathering with pigments and ash.

The only thing left was to put the alley along the side wall of Farnshawe Ltd.

The final result.

I agree with Paul. Those kerb stones in particular!

 

It is amazing what you can do with a bit of paper and colour, Job. But then I know it is not just "a bit of paper and colour", but careful research and testing.

Thanks for all the compliments.

When I'm reading the blogs and my followed entries ( I can't follow them all) then I see modelers who try to archive the best result and share a lot of information.

Always happy when they like my modeling results. 

From modeling the kerb edge and individual stones for the pavement this way I have learned the most. Will do that again.
