For my Infinity project I have been trying to get
the feel and atmosphere to a certain whaling station
called Leith in the South Atlantic. I have micro zoomed
in on a still standing building called the, ” The Managers
house” in an attempt to carry across some of the feel of the
place. Now its not exact(I am no expert scratch builder by a long
way) and I have used artistic licence but I hope its in the style
of Leith and what I trying to bring out in the terrain ?
The 1st picture below is the original picture of the “Managers
House”. All the pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them .
It not yet totally finished and I have just placed it on
a bit of empty terrain to check its suitability. Eventually it
will be surrounded by scrap metal. Also all the roof sections
are easily removed so the interior is playable.
One thing I have learnt is that I take my hat off to scratch
builders as the amount of patience needed to build these things
is nearly beyond me lol.
Enjoy .
Very distinct and unusual look, and you captured it perfectly. The transition from actual photo to model scenery was seamless when I first looked at the article. Looking forward to the finished setting.
Thanks for the kind words,but it’s not quite seemless. In fact the odd seem or two is the ideal location for a bit more rust to hide my lack of wood working joint skills lol
Wow and Wow!
Yes wow,how much rust pigment over my hands,trousers and carpet lol
Nicely done, looks great with the rest of the board. The bright rust and streaking were perfectly captured.
Thanks,still lots more to do😀
Amazing piece, what materials have you used?
Thanks. Plasticard,corrugated sheets and balsa wood😀
