An Austin Showroom - part 2
This is my first kit from Kingsway Models. Signs are kindly made for me when I ordered the showroom.
If you follow the instructions the kit is easy to build. I missed one essential instruction and had to do the front a little bit different. I made new textures for the front of the showroom. I scanned the original Austin and CarMart sign from Kingsway and used them to put them into my front textures.
I was not happy with the roof textures of the original kit. For the garage roof I used a texture from Scalescenes. Kingsway does not supply roof flashing wit the kit. I don’t like to see the folds in the roof.
Kingsway also supplies a complete roof for the showroom. I made just a part of the roof using a texture from Clever Models. I did this because my diorama will be placed in an IKEA APA box with indirect lighting. And the main purpose to build this diorama to create a diorama showing a collection of my Austin cars.
At the right side of the showroom I created a yard with some petrol pumps and three second-hand Austin’s. These cars are already painted. The yard textures are from Scalescenes with weathered with grey pastel mixture. Petrol pump are from Kingsway Models.
I still have to paint the cars for the showroom. But at this moment I have to finish some other projects first. The bird’s eye picture gives you an impression of the total diorama.
Next update from this project will be when I have finished the painting of my showroom models.
As always comments and suggestion are welcome.
