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

Another lovely building Job!:)  The window sills look unusually deep to my eye, extending over 4 brick courses would mean they were over a foot thick.  Certainly not impossible, but definitely unusual!

Hi Job, good to see an update from you!

 

A charming building, you've managed to capture the rural and rustic look really well I think. Some model buildings are exact scale replicas but look like empty shells. This one is well modelled and looks like someone actually lives in it.

Thanks for the compliment and comment. I will keep your comment on the window sills in mind for my next buildings.

Thanks Mikkel. Modelling helps me to keep my mind "empty".

I still have to figure out who is living in the cottage, but that is for one of the later entries.

Super little cottage.  Another lovely build from the master of card.  Love the porch with its neat flashing.

Lovely modelling, Job! You’ve achieved a lot of character in the detail. Look forward to seeing it in its little diorama.

Thanks for the compliment. The owner of the cottage is waiting for a garage added on the right side.

Thanks Marlyn, creating the front garden will be a new challenge for me.
