Littleworth – detached cottage 1
Littleworth is the village at the end of the branch line from Northall.
I have finished the main building of first model for Littleworth: a detached cottage. On the left side I have planned a garage.
A low relief kit of Petite Properties and a picture from internet are used as a base.
The Flemish bond brick texture is from Wordsworth Models. Free to download. All the other used textures are from Scalescenes, except for the curtains.
I used for the roof some useful advice from the excellent book of David Wright “Making rural buildings.”
This is the way I made the roof:
The Scalescenes texture is A4 filled with rows of clay tiles. Scalescenes provides also an A4 with lines for gluing the tiles in the right position.
I didn’t want a clean roof and searched for an example on the website of Textures.com. I use this to create the roof for my cottage.
On the picture you can see the process:
1. Glue the lines on the roof
2. Gluing the clay tiles on 220 gsm cardstock
3. Cutting a line of clay tiles
4. Giving the individual line his shape
5. Colouring the underside of the row with a raw umber pastel pencil
6. Adding the shaped and coloured row to the roof
7. Repeating step 3 to 6
And of course, a picture of the finished cottage.
A picture in this size shows my some points that are waiting for my pastel pencil and a chimney pot that is not correctly pushed in.
Will be continued.
As usual comment are much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Job
