Although for me nothing can beat your crushed brick wall from a few months back, i really love this one as well, another Russian one maybe? i can imagine some red star 2 stairs above the door.
Once more I really appreciate the true 3d effect of the different details in the stone. While most design some kind of 2ds buildings yours really have an impression of depth which is accentuated by the subtle texture of the walls.
All in all an A+ kind of job

Excellent Carlos. Nobody makes buildings like these, as they appear plain, and almost unadventurous, but these were plentiful. Looking through images, I always keep an eye out for architecture in the background, and this looks spot-on, and maybe more common than what diorama builders portray.
The small details that you always manage to add in so naturally, is what always gives your buildings an edge .. no matter what the subject is.
I like the 45° angle of the door handles... as all other lines are vertical or horizontal, they really catch the eye. Nice one.
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!

As usual Carlos, an inspiriting building.

Hi Carlos

Your builds are stunning and makes me want build my own. IMO nothing can beat a custom building in diorama, it's suits better than standard buildings.

Seeing some SBS from you or some hint about how achieve your textures and make the whole thing stand on its footing would be really appreciated.

Phil

Impressive. Good luck with the project

Good job Carlos!

What is your method to keep the cardboard flat?


Cheers
Claude

Hello all, thanks for your kind words.

Philippe:,
the texture of this building is obtained covering all the walls with painting for decoration of authentic walls. the painting gives a slight rough texture.

Claude:
To maintain right the different walls are gotten creating a " box " structure it should also be reinforced internally. In this case behind each column is a reinforcement that prevents that the cardboard is warped .The cardboard should be of a certain quality. The best is one used by the plastic artists and illustrators that is selled in the of fine arts shops They are cardboards that have to resist watery means as the watercolor or oil paints and therefore they should have certain resistance to be warped
hope thta this helps
Carlos
