Allan The shops have interior lighting which shows even more detail, especially in the pub. I took these pictures without the layout set up. I'll try to take some with the lighting 'on' so you can see inside more clearly. I really enjoyed making the row, including the interiors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamwig Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 The interiors are the most interesting (and probably frustrating) part of it!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 11, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 11, 2013 Superb modelling Terry, those shops are a masterpiece. I can't tell from the photos what scale it is, a certain sign of excellent modelling. Please can I ask how you did the Signwriting for the shops? I've attempted it in Microsoft Word, with only mediocre results. All the best, Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry.ecmr Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Very nice. Are they based on real examples? G.

I've attempted it in Microsoft Word, with only mediocre results. All the best, Dave. Hi Dave They are 4mm I use a very old and basic program called iPhoto Express. I use it for creating new signs from scratch (coloured background with text added) and also for adding pictures or reducing real signs etc. The interiors use items created in the same way. The wallpaper shop window display was created by copying various photos of real wallpapers, then reducing them to a similar size and putting them together. Thanks for the interest. The layout is booked for exhibition..... see http://ecmr.webs.com/news-exhibition-dates Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry.ecmr Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thank you. I really enjoyed making them. I don't have a favourite either! If you have a look at my website ecmr.webs.com and go to the news/exhibition page you will see where I'm exhibiting over the next year or so. If you ever get the chance say hello.

Xerces Fobe2 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice work Terry but how long until one of the shops becomes one of the Big Coffee outlets or a Poundshop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Iceman Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Nice work. I did a record shop a while back with ALL the 7" & 12" records, posters to 4mm scale, even my brother and cousin behind the counter the shop next door is a burnt out remnants. so I understand the scaling tediousness.... good work keep it up ...

terry.ecmr Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 The wallpapers are done the same way. Real wallpapers scaled down. Time consuming this sort of thing....but worth the effort I hope. Terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
