Northall – Whisky boxes 2


Job's Modelling

512 views

Against the wall in the back of the warehouse are some empty piled up whisky.

 

The base for this boxes were some pictures from Flickr. I find that a beautiful resource for all kind of pictures.

With this pictures I made a pdf with the piled up boxes in 4 mm scale.

Untill now just the useall way of how I approach things.

But the backside of the boxes won’t be visible when you look through the door of the warehouse. So I didn't found in necessary to model them with full details.

I used the following approach to model them.

  • I did cut out a pile of boxes from my pdf.
  • I cut out 2 mm thick card for every box. Carefully creating the right width and depth.
  • Carefully glue-ing the boxes on each other until the pile is finished.
  • Then coloring the sides and the top of the piles with a dark brown felt pen.

Sorry about the pictures of the modeling, they are not of the quality I normally post.

Then I glued them against the wall in the warehouse.

I hope that this ” impressionistic” picture gives an idea of the inside of the warehouse. I found it very hard to get a right picture of the scene through the opening of the doors.

 

Regards,

Job

Hi Job, those prototype whisky boxes are so full of atmosphere, I can see why you chose them. They look quite effective in the corner. The boxes next to the barrel look even better, I think. They seem to have 3 dimensions, or are they made the same way?

The difference is the size of the boxes. The piled up boxes are very tiny. Just 2 mm high a box.

With the boxes next to the barrel I just a trick that is very handy I believe.

Behind the lower box (a plastic one from Preisser) I put a felt pen colored card box (just the visible sides) of the same size behind it.

On top of that I placed a crate with bottles from Scale Link.

Hi Job, sorry, I hadn't seen your answer (it would be so nice to have an automatic follow option when we post, like in the threads). Anyway, that's a very clever trick. Another one I will experiment with in my goods depot. I also like the crate of bottles from scale link, they look good.
