The final round of our See it/Make it challenge is set to test your abilities of weathering and adding patina to your model buildings. Inspired by the below photograph taken in Truro, we'd like you to match (as closely as possible) the empty shop in model form. Here's something to grab your attention, too – the winner of this challenge will receive a Hornby Class 66 (R3778) in DB Schenker livery, worth £74.99!

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted August 17, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) I think the one @Howard Smith has posted looks quite realistically weathered I was tempted to have a go at this myself but I’m sure everyone knows by now it would be close to Christmas before it was anywhere near finished I’m still on track to win the RMWEB ‘pull your bl**dy finger out and get your layout finished’ award Edited August 17, 2020 by chuffinghell Spelling correction 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ask you to share how you've done what you've done, but it's probably top-secret at this stage? Best of luck, H Now my entry is in, I’m more than happy to tell you how it was made. The model was built in card, but the designing done in AutoCAD. After all, if it’s good enough to use for full sized buildings, then why not 1:76 buildings? However instead of CAD, it could be drawn straight onto paper in a similar way. Firstly, we need a set of plans and elevations for the build. The length and width are obtained from google earth, and the height by counting bricks from the photographs. The rest of the details are assumed. In the end, you get this which can be printed off two or three times to make the different layers. Its then spray mounted onto card from 4D model shop and cut with a scalpel. It’s then glued together to get this: The building is then clad in brick paper from Scalescenes.com. The roof is from a recycled cereal packet. Windows are printed onto A4 paper and glued onto acetate. 3d printed, etched or laser cut would probably work better, I just don’t have the equipment. Eventually, you have something like this. Curtains are photos from the internet scaled and printed on paper and glued on the inside of the window. Its detailed with plastic Ratio guttering and weathered with powders. I could have done a bit more, but this was as good as it was going to get whilst making time for family holidays! 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Howard Smith, Thank you for the kind mention in Friday's WoR newsletter. Unfortunately life got in the way of modelling and I wasn't able to finish in time. You've prompted me to finish it off, the building gained its roof this afternoon. There's still some bits I want to work on though - I'll keep you posted!

It's great that you made a start and hopefully you might find the odd hour here and there without the pressure of a deadline. These challenges were all about getting folk modelling and we're really pleased at the efforts made. H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Howard Smith Posted September 10, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted September 10, 2020 Nice work! The question is, are you pleased with it? I think you've captured the essence of that grubby run-down shop really well! Thanks for sharing, H 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
