Chubber Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 As an introduction to card modelling, my chum Shaun has kindly allowed me to post his little line side hut, simply print out the 'cut-out' file on A4 paper [with no scaling] and follow the beautifully produced instructions........Enjoy! Good luck, Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebrfan Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Gday, thankyou to Chubber and your chum Shaun, looks great and as you say the instructions are beautifully produced. Look forward to getting me gluestick out and having a go, cheers Glenn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 This looks like fun, so lets all get building one and post the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 7, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2013 While RMweb is full of useful stuff, hints, tips and the occasional scale drawing, I'm not sure I've actually seen a freebie of this sort before. Brill! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'm up for a try at it, if I may offer a little tip at this stage, as this building has no interior bracing you can find yourself pulling it out of square when wrapping the texture paper around it, or worse still breaking the wall to wall joints. To avoid this, run a bead of PVA around the bottom edge of the four walls and stick it to a piece of good quality paper, like writing paper. When dry, cut around the outside carefully to leave the four walls strongly braced. It will also keep it rigid so as to allow you to sand all the corners smooth and square. Should you later want access to the interior, simply cut around the inside edges to open it up again! Simples... Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'll show you mine if you show me yours....... Door hinges and bolt paper given some 3D by being pressed from behind before gluing to card, scrap from window card used to cover window sills. Some 'relief' could be introduced by pressing and indenting corners and some stones. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Mine will be posted later this evening, just got to stick me chimney pot on and it will be finished, I made a bit of a cock up as I didn't pay attention when gluing the walls together and stuck the window wall on the wrong side, so had to adjust the wrap to suit... Doh! OK Here it is: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I've been wasting my time!! There's me hacking away with two mil thick Wills stone sheets while Shaun produces this little masterpiece from printed stone paper! I'm going down the pub...

gastwo Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Thanks Allan! Just for info, the stonework is actually a photo of a stone wall taken at the old ruins below Llyn Clywedog in Mid Wales. I then Photoshopped it to give me a large area of stone. ATB Shaun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev777 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks very much, Doug and Shaun. Loving this, quick and easy for a newbie like me, and looks great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourthsVeil Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Me too! I like this hut. Simple to make (though I made the same mistake as Campaman). Just the Q-tip as chimney pot didn't work: doesn't like to accept any color. But a wooden tooth pick came to the rescue. So here it is (yes, i know, the pot was wonky - now no more): Will redo with fresh paper - and then revert. Thanks a lot, Doug & Shaun! Armin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gastwo Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks everybody for making such good models of my little hut! Glad to have helped you pass an hour or two... Best regards Shaun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&WR Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Here's my attempt. It wasn't until I looked at the pictures properly I realised the roof had peeled away: Still, quite happy with the overall effect: Thanks, Shaun! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbow Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thought I might give this a try. First as designed Then in wood Thanks for sharing this with us. Regards Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortliner Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That wooden version, with no chimney , and a larger set of double doors in the end wall, would make a very good garage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_C Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Great work all, very simple and a good end result! and now complete: LineSideHut3.jpg Armin It looks like you've swapped out the stonework for something more high resolution - it looks fantastic!

Chubber Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 That's great work, you can almost hear the building asking for a coat of creosote! I think Shaun was a 'good egg' for doing such a brill 'how-to', even the biggest most technically perfect models pale when a nice model accompanied by a thorough 'how-to' appears. What 'cladding' did you use? Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benbow Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks Doug. Yes indeed thanks to Shaun for providing the inspiration to build and adapt. It was done as a quicky so not as detailed as it could be e.g the bolt on the door could be an overlay. I used textures from http://www.cgtextures.com/ old wood planks and corrugated iron for the roof. To give some relief I score the joins between planks and between corrugations. Although I am a big fan of Scalescenes texture papers I thought I would try something different this time. Roger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks, Roger. I think I tend to stick [teehee...] with what I know, I've never tried to make sheets of texture from CG Textures although I have downloaded several doors and windows as 'stick-ons'.
