Hi all...

New Member to the sight but been vissiting regularly the past year to be insired by all your wonderfull modells dios and teqnices.
This is my first post ever were i show any of my work but dont let that hinder you from giving any sort of critiqe,,, We all need critiqe and tips to evolve as a moddeler, artist or kraftsman
The dio/vinjett is 1/16 scale it´s gona house a Fallschirm jegaer carefuly peeping out the window in Belgium, i´ll be adding some tarpestry on the inside wall and rubble all around, im not sure about the window-bars maybe a window frame and kurtains...??? I don´t know,,, I´m stuck

Front



Back

Front a litle bit clearer, a litle crooked tho :-)

Hey Dan
For a first effort I think this looks great!
The way the wall has a recess in the front and the left edge of the brickline is perfectly erratic. The earthenware colour is good being lighter with what looks like dust. Congrats!
Cheers
Brad

Thank you for your kind words Bradley,,, aktualy the struckture is still untreated but i´ll have to agree with you about the dusty earth tone the cork gets after a fine sanding and a good wyping with damp rag. the only setback is the cork texture only vissible by close inspektion. I´ll maby paint it with a very diluted brick colour as a base, working in phases as the cork tends to act kind like a sponge.

Should i prim it ???

Any advice or tips are apressiated...

Looks great mate. I just recently bought some cork floor panels with the idea of using it to build ruin and stone roads. How have you found modeling with it are there any tricks you've learned that have made the process easier? How dod you go anout your project and modeling the bricks? I have read an article where the modeler actually builds the structures brick by brick...a nice project indeed.

Hi Matt
Sorry for the late reply, connection problems
I also use the floor panel cork, they come in 30*30*0.45 cm sheets. The best way to cut it in to strips is by using a balsa-stripper whith a brand new blade, as a dull blade may tend to stresh the cork, it is better to cut several times on the same place than cutting in one drag as this eliminates the streshing.
after i cut the strips, 4.5*4*300 mm, i start to cut out the bricks to the messurment of 4.5*4*10 mm with a skalpel, i´d rather use a cuttinboard as this leavs the bricks with a crisp straight cut and saves time and frutration but i´m having trubble finding one. After cutting the bricks to the right zise i round the edges gently with fine sanding paper. after repeting this process a couple times it´s time for the asasembly, just stack the bricks makin sure u don´t get the caskade effekt by making guide lines for a straight brick line, enjoy and thank you for the kind response.
