Ohmisterporter Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This link was found on the Gn15 forum, which is a regular source of interest and information that is applicable to all scales. I urge fellow modellers not to neglect other forums just because they use the "wrong scale", there is a lot of good stuff out there. Important tip: if you are building a model that has windows buy the windows first. Cutting out the apertures first then trying to find a window to fit is a frustrating experience. http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_structure-doan_engineering.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job's Modelling Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Always try to keep an open mind when you are modelling. Wood can be very helpful by card modelling. Shipbuilding, military and other disciplines can give sometimes good ideas about what is possible and how to do it. For instance Emmanuel Nouailler is not only an excellent railway scenery modeler, but also built some great military scenes. In his latest article in a Belgian railway modelers magazine he suggested to have a look at the small parts used in military modelling (1:87).

Regards, Job Very true, EN uses the same method as myself to produce textured surfaces for some buildings, that of impressing designs on foamboard, from which one face has been removed. His weathering is streets ahead of mine, however! A small bothy, by way of illustration, I suppose it is still card modelling because one face of the walls stays as card......

Ohmisterporter Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Very neat Doug. I like the way the stones go around the corners properly, Having mismatched corner brickwork is a pet hate of mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kf4yyd Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Doug, Would you mind expanding on how you do that. Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank you, Geoff, I look at photographs/pictures of one wall, rougly draw that and then mark each conjoining wall from the previous one. Hi, Tom, rather than hi-jack this thread, I'll do a 'how-to' in this forum soon, if there is enough interest [?] but I'm off for a few days in my caravan this evening so it will be in a little while, Thank you for your interest, Doug [...........now where did I put that spare can-opener....?...] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
