Not too bad for just inside two weeks work... next up brick pattern scoring/etching. Depending on weather, domestic duties and family fun, I may get this done over the weekend...
After that's done, its make the roof time...
In the meantime, one more London Thug to finish off and I have my Mob done too.
I don't know how you can bear scoring all the bricks on. You must be must more patient than I am!
ReplyDeleteComfy chair, nice music, glass of vino on hand or something similar... ;-)
DeleteComing along nicely Scott.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran.
Deletetis turning in to a real work of art thanks for sharing with us looking forward to each new update
ReplyDeletePeace James
Thanks James, glad you are enjoying it.
DeleteJust got the email that the requiem miniatures are shipping, so it's going to see action pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat, cant wait for mine!
DeleteComing along nicely Scott. Looking forward to getting our minis Dan. Can't decide what to work of first, finish my supernatural branch or unleash the madness of bedlam.
DeleteThanks, I managed to get one side brick etched this evening...
DeleteI am intrigued by the madness of bedlam, it will be interesting to see their stats and specials rules etc...
Good work! Agreed it will be great to learn the factions new rules. Any news on a release date?
DeleteLooks quite excellent, rather you than me scoring in all the brickwork!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, its a bit laborious, but I think the final job will be worth it, and I only really have to do a few buildings for a 4' x 4' board...
DeletePersonally I couldn't do all this clay cladding, I build them out of blue foam and carve the bricks right onto the foam. But you are pretty quick with your method.
ReplyDeleteMy experiments with foam materials available here in NZ have been less than perfect. Cant seem to get the same blue or pink foam here. Our stuff is green. I find the surface seems to snag somewhat when scoring these details in which leads to small tears in the surface of the materials.
DeletePlus the MDF sheet is dirt cheap compared to the foam and I use surprisingly little clay for cladding these buildings, this one probably used about 1/8th of a 500g DAS pack.
Actually main issue has been getting the green foam sheet in thin enough sheets to work with easily - 25mm thick is too much, yet seems the thinnest available. 1cm would be good but cant find any that thick. The Depron foam was OK-ish in thickness, but had the snagging issue I mentioned, and was too thin @ 5mm for structral work - I'd probably have to glue it to MDF sheet anyway, pretty much defeating the 'usefulness'...
DeleteI use the foam for both surface detail and to build the structure about 1/2 " thick. I simply carve the outside. The tearing has to do with the speed of your cuts, slower cuts produce less tearing, or you can use a hot wire.
DeleteAaaaaaa still waiting for mine. coming along nicely Scott your board is going to be ace.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteComing along nicely again , I live in a Victorian town, so here are a few names to chose Balmoral Terrace, Union Street, Smith-Dorrien Crescent, Albert Road, Parliament Street, Victoria Road, Waterloo St, Clive Road. Alma Terrace. Jubilee Road. Coronation St, Dundas St, Ladysmith Ave...a few to think over...

DeleteReally enjoying following your terrain building efforts Scott - looking great as always.
ReplyDeleteA master builder at work. You have done a top job so far Scott and I am sure doing it the way you have, the quality of the build and effort will show through with the finished model.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pat.
Coming aling very well, Scott. I expect it as splendid as terrace #1 or even better.
ReplyDeleteCheers
