Hello All this is a little industrial building tha will be part of a more big diorama. I made it of cardborad and a bit of cork. The colour is not real is only the colour of the material that I use for give some texture.




the roof is metal foil and must be painted as all of the building

You've done a good job - it really looks great.

What project is it for and what scale?

Really good work(as usual) Carlos. Can you post a pic of the type of cardboard used or say where you got it. I find most cardboard warps when painted.

The tight angle corner is very interesting, can't wait to see it in its final location.

this cardborad is artist´s cardboard 2 mm thick, strong, used for people that paint or mount photos in it. is strong and can support aquarel or oil paints and is sold in fine arts shops some trade marks: Canson or Montgolfier , but every countru have is how trade marks...
Jean ... good eye!!!! altougth this architecture is videly expandend around the globe I was inspired in a photo taken in a Stalingrad railroad was a very dramatic photo taken before combar witha group of soldiers in the foreground seeing how this building was burning in the background
