RSS Fetcher Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 <span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>The railway arches are really a challenge for me. I want to try to give them some more relief then just the texture that was printed out on the art paper I’m using for this project.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>So after gluing the base layers in place I started with embossing the stones.</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Progress did go slowly, because I did this job with hay fever eyes. But time is the only thing that I can get for free creating a diorama. After trying an embossing pen I took my empty ballpoint again. I followed the texture of Scalescenes, playing with the pressure on the point of the ballpoint. More pressure on “thick” mortar lines and less pressure on the “thin” ones. Between some stones there are no mortar lines.</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>After I had finished embossing the stones I cut the arches out.</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>I followed the same way of working for the buttresses, the copings and the parapet wall.</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Then I worked in the same way for the stone fill-in at the right of the diorama.</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>I glued this one in place. </span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Now it was time to do my traditional pastel pencil weathering. Also in this case I used some reference pictures from the internet. </span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Now I glued the finished arches in the diorama box.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Next job was to finish the pavement. </span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>I glued the single pavement stones in place using tweezers. This job I had to do carefully.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'> </span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>After finishing the pavement I gave it some final weathering using pastel and a brushed coat of wood ash. I still think this is one of the best solutions to create an old looking street or pavement surface. </span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Also this time an overview picture of the diorama, so you can follow the development from black and white to colour.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Now I can start creating the shops. I will keep you informed about the progress.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>As always your suggestions and comments are much appreciated.</span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Regards,</span></span><br /><span style='font-size: 14px'><span style='font-family: verdana'>Job</span></span><div id='attach_wrap' class='rounded clearfix'> <h4>Attached thumbnail(s)</h4> <ul> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[14723]' id='ipb-attach-url-467258-0-10538500-1410022403' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-36480600-1410022146.jpg" title="single pavement parts.jpg - Size: 109.14KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-36480600-1410022146_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-467258-0-10538500-1410022403' style='width:800;height:450' class='attach' width="800" height="450" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[14723]' id='ipb-attach-url-467259-0-11660100-1410022403' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-03797200-1410022162.jpg" title="making pavement.jpg - Size: 88.54KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-03797200-1410022162_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-467259-0-11660100-1410022403' style='width:800;height:450' class='attach' width="800" height="450" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[14723]' id='ipb-attach-url-467261-0-11669000-1410022403' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-19582200-1410022212.jpg" title="pavement wheatering.jpg - Size: 84.9KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-19582200-1410022212_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-467261-0-11669000-1410022403' style='width:800;height:450' class='attach' width="800" height="450" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> <li class=''> <a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[14723]' id='ipb-attach-url-467262-0-11675600-1410022403' href="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-40250400-1410022249.jpg" title="23 Station Road finished arches.jpg - Size: 115.61KB, Downloads: 0"><img src="http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/uploads/monthly_09_2014/blogentry-11675-0-40250400-1410022249_thumb.jpg" id='ipb-attach-img-467262-0-11675600-1410022403' style='width:800;height:450' class='attach' width="800" height="450" alt="Attached Image" /></a> </li> </ul> </div> View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
