Mr Iceman Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A few pics of my latest creation. A 4mm (00) scale record shop (my brother and cousin behind counter) and a fire ravaged collapsed next door shop. I chose a record shop as my brother is an avid record collector and thought I may as well put him behind the counter.... It is constructed from card (artist board), Scalescene printed white brick, wood drink stirer (aquired from coffee shops) and other detail photographed or downloaded and scaled down to actual scale size. All I need to do is complete the fine detailing of the collapsed building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Iceman Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 That looks really good First thought was that it reminded me of the Gun Shop at St Bz that burned down about 7 years ago- So it must be realistic Thanks Mickey,,,,, I made the damaged shop 1inch longer so I could burn it back to get the desired effect and smoke damage, however I forgot about my smoke alarm.... lets say my ears rang for a while after.
