More work on warehouses

Christmas seems to be a traditional time for me to do some Scalescene's buildings and this year seems no exception. The large goods warehouse is at viaduct level with a street level entrance below track level. I spent a few hours cutting card to make up the road level and I am quite pleased with the view you get from under the bridge of the main line. I think the retaining walls looks like a suitable location for some bill boards.

I also decided to put some hipped roofs on the building. The main roof is a little under the parapet level and the hip sections were drawn out in Turbocad then stuck to 1mm card and covered with Scalescene slates. I still have the larger section of the warehouse to do but it is coming on.

Most impressive! as a Scalescenes fan I enjoy the way you've used this excellent resource to design generic warhousing. It is ideal for the task. As I'm sure you are aware, artists pastels (expensive but stronger and more permanent pigment than some powders*) are excellent for subtle weathering.

 

*its my belief that some powders use a carrier, not unlike talc, to dilute expensive pigments, which you can do for yourself if you need to chuck a lot about! ;) Beware of poisons in some cadmium and other pastels. Wear surgeons gloves and take care. Just my two-pennyworth. 'Course I'm going back to art-school days in the sixties. Perhaps synthetics are as good these days and I'm just bumping my gums. ;)

 

All the best for the coming year. Brasso.
