The first job I had to do now was adding the windows behind the weathered factory wall. In the past I use a solvent free glue from Pattex. This time I used double sided tape from 3M, as David Neat advices in his excellent articles.

I had re-size the windows from Scalescenes first. I used window c form his excellent Arches and Windows TX00 kit.

After adding the windows I tried out how to create the final look. I had several possibilities that were usable.

I decided to build an inner wall with white stone to create the illusion of depth.

This is glued behind the windows.

Then I printed the “Grime window” sheet from Scalescenes in black and white. After looking at some reference pictures on the website of CGtextures I wasn’t convinced that the colour used by Scalescenes would create the right appearance.

After I tried the black and with version I took my pastel pencils to add some grey/blue colour to the original texture.

On the left the original version, at the right the colored one.

The colored texture is added behind the windows.

Here is the final version of the windows.

And below the factory placed into the diorama.

The factory is finished now. Let’s start with the front of the scene.

Till next time.

Regards,

Job
