The last building is William Fish & Son.
The building is based on the T024a Industrial A – Warehouse from Scalescenes.
For the roof I used the zinc roof texture from the Scalescenes Garage and for the slated part TX184 = Mixed grey roof slates from Modelrailwayscenery.

 

When I designed this diorama I wanted to use a large advertising board on this building.
To create tis one I used a layered approach. And as I promised I would show you how I did it.
You need two advertising boards to realise it.
Cut out the poster inside the frame.

Next step:
Put the frame on top of the second poster.

And the end result: a layered advertising board. Although almost invisible on the pictures.

Then you can glue the advertising board on the building.

The picture shows the final result after weathering.

 

The building is built in the same way as the goods receiving office and also weathered, using the same materials.
The doors are from the internet. The sign is made myself using Publisher.

 

Although the roof texture is designed to glue it in one part on the roof, I decided to using the method I also used for the roof for the Goods Receiving Office. A layered approach gives you the opportunity to create an individual roof.

As you can see I used the roof Scalescenes created for the ware house as a guidance. For me the mixed slates are going very well with the colours of the bricks.

 

I also wanted to give the side wall of the building some more character. So I gave it a window and u bricked up door.

And because a picture says more than a thousand words some pictures op the final building.

A birds-eye view of the building

 

Now I can give the diorama a final finishing touch. Looking critical to the pictures I have made an adding a final detail or some final details.

 

As always comments and suggestions are welcome.

 

Kind regards,

That's really nice - and the 'layered' board works really well. Wish I'd read this before I installed some on my station building!

Great work Job. I could swear those bricks are 3D!

 

A couple of questions:

 

*The first picture confuses me a little, but it was the original mock-up, right?

*Why two layers of the poster? Couldn't it just be a blank piece at the bottom, or am I missing something?

Thanks for the compliments

 

The first picture is indeed my first black and white 3D design. You can see that there have been some changing in the final result, although the design kept in tact. 

 

I have never tried the layered approach on the small station posters of Scalescenes.

for me it is almost impossible to create the black sides in a layered approach using photographic paper. So I decided to use two advertising boards with black sides. Cutting out the advertising the black sides were still on the original paper. Laying the second advertising poster under the cut out version I got  build-up black sides.

I hope this explains it a little more.
