Last time I had finished the frame for my row of cottages
I intended to build the front of the cottages. But after some thoughts I decided to start with the roof, because there were some parts that needed some extra attention. I wanted separate roof sections but no separate fronts as in the Scalescene kit.
The tiles are printed on a high quality drawing paper, of course on the best possible settings. I tried to create some old roofs, because these cottages will be part of the demolition plans in Northall.
The roofs are build using my usual method:
- First I made a template for every the roof section
- I cut stripes of tiles
- I colored every strip at the lower side with a dark grey pastel pencil
- I cut with my scalpel almost every tile half apart
- I glued a finished strip on his place on the template
After I had finished the roof sections I gave then some weathering with Smincke soft pastels.
Then I made the chimney’s and gave them also some weathering. I only have to paint some the chimney’s. The other three were already painted for a previous project.
I saw I had to make a small adjustment at the top of the middle roof. The top line is bowed away a little.
Now I will start with the front of the row of cottages.
As you have noticed I need more time to finish every step due personal circumstances, but modelling is still my favorite way to deal with daily life struggles.
More about that in a next entry.
Or if anyone has useful information, comments or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for reading and till next time and kind regards,
Job
