More on the big buiding

blog-0984917001390313099.jpgHave been chipping away (literally!), at the big building. One side of the railings are finished, although not permanently fixed or painting completed yet. Will have to do a couple of bits for the other side and, rather frustratingly, the missing bits as am assuming they wouldn't have gone far so will have to contribute to the heap of junk and rubble that will occupy the front garden.

There is now some basic dirt and remains of flower beds in the front and a couple of detail bits such as the boot scrapper and door bell pull.

The upstairs is now pretty much finished apart from filling with rubbish and have have done the floors downstairs (too clean at the moment!), and just need to finish walls and junk up.

Nearly there with this one and then two more buildings to go. I have a prototype in mind for one and a good idea of what I want for the other but will probably be made up as it has a very specific job to do in acting as a view blocker to the fiddle yard entrance. It will also partly block the view to the current big building so why am I adding so much detail!

Did you have a picture of a bomb damaged building on which this is based? I thought you had but could not find it on a quick browse of the previous posts.

 

The reason why I ask is that, I was wondering if the walls would be most likely to crack and break on the mortar tracks. I also wondered if there would be some piles of brick rubble. It seems right in my mind but I could not find a good example on the web. Perhaps you have some good examples to prove me wrong :)

I think I posted these before but I could be wrong!

There are subtle differences between the two pics (look at state of ruination of building behind), suggesting they were taken at different times. I do have plans to make the broken bits more ragged but this will need the creation of individual bricks and I haven't worked that one out yet. Ditto the piles of rubbish. I am holding off on some of the weathering and distressing until the model is bedded in properly with the others so that they all get a consistent look.
