Aldersgate buildings 12 Albion


Recommended Posts

Something new brewing in Aldersgate (why did I resort to that?).

 

For the end of the first board, a brewery inspired by the Albion Brewery in Whitechapel High Street (most of the site now a Sainsbury's I think but much of the original building still intact).

Will you be making the clock tower building?

 

Shame about all these London breweries we've lost in living memory: watney's Albion brewery, courage's horsleydown, Truman's black eagle, Young's ram, Guinness's park royal, and so on . . . .

I am going to have a foreshortened version of the yard with gates and the clocktower building will be semi relief on the back scene.  

This will be right at the back and furthest corner of a board, possibly with a little cameo of a truck being checked on the way out of the gate (wouldn't want to "lose" any crates of beer).

Progress so far.  I have taken some liberties with the infilled arch: it was done pretty badly on the original but they didn't have mismatched brick.  I have also put a concrete plinth on the bottom of the wall (pleased if anyone can tell me the real word for this architectural feature!) which isn't in the original.

 

All looks a bit hairy up close but that's my old school style of modelling.

For those that have been giving it, thanks for your attention!

Out of interest, how do you ensure any curves are cut smoothly. Do you do by hand/eye or have a set of edges you can use?

 

Thanks

 

I have a compass cutter, particularly useful for mounting board.  

I also have a large selection of old school clear plastic circle and eclipse guides.  My father was a technical illustrator at Ford's before there were computers!

Hi George

 

How did you do the relief details in the top portion? Not sure about the architectural terminology for the said area.

 

Many Thanks.

 

They come in a packet from The Range and are bits for people who want to make their own jewellery.  £1 for the pack.  This isn't finished I'll probably add some figures.

Thanks George, I will have a gander, the next time I visit my local Range.
