Job's Modelling

I also use Wordsworth textures for my modelling. A great addiction to the textures I buy from other suppliers.

The result is amazing.

Glad that you have enjoyed reading my entries and blog.

Happy modelling.

Agree with all the comments - wonderful modelling!  Your work is an inspiration to us all...

 

Perhaps a little lost in translation - what do you mean by "deluded" colouring materials?

I mean by deluded adding a lot of water or flow improver from Winsor & Newton is added to the paint. Maybe it is the wrong word.

Love the shop front. Looking forward to see what you will do with the interiors.

Still looks great.

Nice to see you back. Lovely build station.

Lovely layout with good quality build card models.

Looking forward to more progress.

Excellent subdued colouring.

Thank you. I print my textures always on high quality water resistant photo paper. For the colouring I used deluded Vallejo and AK paints, pastels, pigments and some eyeshadows.

I have finished my Church Street diorama. Another street in my fictitious town of Northall.

I started to create a base. The base is build up with 3cm high card strips on a MDF base.

First, I finished the Assurance Agency. I used textures from several Scalescenes kits.

To finish my diorama, I had to add some pavement in front of the Assurance office. There were also some minor gaps, between the building and the street, I had to fill in. I used some Woodland scenic earth to fill it and gave it some colour with olive green pastel. I also added some grass from Mini Natur against the wall to the back yard and on the corner of the shop.

Finally, I placed my British Railway van in front of the pub. This van I will use on all my diorama’s and can easily be replaced by another car. It is Western based and fits in the right area. Using the van in every layout will give the illusion of a delivery route for the van.

For the picture, with just the diorama, I was inspired by the website of Petite Properties. I think this can be improved by learning how to use my photo program better.

The other two pictures give a street view of Church Street. One is the original picture I made, the other one is photoshopped to create a late 1950’s look.

Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Interesting. I like the ground floor pub frontage.

 

I've not heard of Petite Properties before. Do they have a website, and do they do 2mm/N gauge models?

 

G.

Thanks Grahame.

They have a website and have recently created some 1:148 models; https://www.petitepropertiesltd.com/

I got some low relief 1:76^th buildings from Petite Properties.

For my new project, I will use them to create a scene for Church Street. One of the kits “No. 2 Station Road” will be used to create a pub.

The kits of Petite Properties are laser cut and looks good. “No. 2 Station Road” can also be used for a shop. There is also advice how to finish the building.

For the finishing of the pub I will use texture from several suppliers and some textures I found on the internet.

Textures and used photo papers:

Brick texture: Old English Brick from Scalescenes printed on Innova Canvas IFA36

Sign “The Station” from Scalescenes small corner shop printed on mat photopaper from Pro-line 120 gr/m2

Windows and sills from Clever Models printed on 308 gr/m2 Photo Rag from Hahnemühle.

Floor from Smart Models pub kit printed on mat photopaper from Pro-line 120 gr/m2

Entrance texture is from Scalescenes the High Street fronts kit printed on mat photopaper from Pro-line 120 gr/m2

For my pub, I used some nice pub windows from internet. I resized the windows I found and give them an additional text using Publisher. 

The door is from the pub-kit of Smart models.

The sign is based on a 1959 picture of a pub. I created it with the use of Publisher. Colours and fonts are based on my shop research fitting the Victorian style of the pub.

I added the roof using the slate roof textures from Scalescenes. They are printed on 100 gsm Rice Paper from Hahnemühle. This paper has a fine nice texture. Chimneys are from the kit of Petite Properties. They have the brick paper I used for the pub. Roof flashing is from Scalescenes. The chimney pots from Dart Castings, painted using Vallejo and AK modelling paints.

Painting:

New for me was the use of painting a part of my model. I used paint from the Vallejo and AK modelling range.

I also added a small yard entrance at the right side of the pub.

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

I had a look at the website. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

For a good choice of slate roofing have look at https://www.textures.com/browse/slate/2130 

I used some of their textures before, with a good result.

For a more rough look you could print them on textured (photo) paper.

Still like to see pictures of your branchline.

Love the auto-train. Still one of my favourite branchline trains.

Looking forwatd yo yout next entry.

I think you have done a good job here. I like to see road vehicles in a fitting environment.

Great to see some more progress on your layout.

I hope the farmer is alright or that help will soon arrive.

Lovely building. Looking forward of the development.

You are doing a great job here. Love your building.

For colours you can have a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_UK_Railways/Colours_list ,

here http://www.stationcolours.info/index.php?p=1_5_GWR and here http://www.bwwmrc.co.uk/paint.shtml 

Always nice to see some pictures of your layout.

Best wishes for 2016.

The new water tank is a nice addition to the layout,

Nice to see again some of your progress.

Like this?

I was more thinking of something like this:

Small low relief Manor Building

The cottage with his front garden give the corner the right atmosphere. 

I think that the garden walls can use a little weathering at the bottom. 

Nice to see the progress on your layout.

Still enjoying it.
