Gravy Train Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hi brylonscamel, Yes, the cutting mat, 'of which I have several in different sizes' start off looking very neat and tidy but soon end up like a building site :-) Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) The man who can produce a clean cutting mat is a man who has never produced anything. The man that can produce a messy cutting mat is a messy bxxxxr. The man that can do either, both, or none at all, hasn't been born yet. Confucius.

BrushType4 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Another little building that I've created. I think the downpipes are a bit over scale but they look fine at normal viewing distance. Right off to the paint shop now! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post michaelp Posted March 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) This is my very first attempt at scratch building, I needed a CLASP style building to represent an admin and TOPS office for my ongoing layout I overlaid perspex with Slaters 2mm planked plasticard and Evergreen strip for the window frames etc and used a piece of wet and dry on the roof to represent roofing felt, I also added some 'Faller' office furniture inside, I may fit lighting yet. The building didn't turn out quite as good as I had hoped but I don't think it too bad for a first attempt but please let me know what you guy's think.

Michael [ [/[/url] [[/url] I can't imagine what you're disappointed about. Looks very convincing and should look even better once on your layout with, perhaps, a little weathering and a few weeds around. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted March 12, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 12, 2016 If that's your first scratch build Michael you've done very well indeed! I take it that it is 4mm scale so is a very tidy build, the over scale pictures can be cruel showing up things that the eye at can't see at typical viewing distance. Thanks for checking out the step by step on my Dunster thread, it makes it all worth while to know the time taken posting all that has been read. Regards Shaun.

michaelp Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi Shaun, Thank you very much for the kind words, yes it is 4mm and you're right about the camera showing up things that wouldn't normally be seen. It's guy's like yourself and other scratch builders on here that gives us beginners the inspiration to have a go at scratch building and to try to produce some buildings that are somewhere close to the excellent work that has been produced here by you guy's.

Edwardian Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I think this counts as my first full-size 4mm scale scratch-build, as the other cottages have been built at slightly smaller scales in order to force perspective. As has been pointed out, there really ought to be some door furniture! The façade textures, including the windows, are taken from a photograph of a house in Norfolk. Roof slates are Scalescenes, as is the chimney brick and the lead flashing. Chimney pots are paper, guttering is paper, downpipe is florist's wire, glazing from packaging, wisteria is from tea leaves (used). Budget modelling!

dseagull Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 My latest is this small station building for Ripe; Wills Sheets provide the brickwork, windows from the bits box (Wills and Ratio most probably). Lintels are thin cardboard, roof is Wills Slate. Ratio Bargeboards and Guttering. The lean-to Gents has a roof made of balsa, with a dried baby wipe, painted accordingly to represent felt. The interior is Balsa and Scalescenes sheets. I only have the one photo of the completed building taken in decent, natural light, but the others are from the construction stage. All feedback, good or bad, would be welcomed! Platform Side; Gents; Forecourt side 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
