Hello all, some time ago I make this house that was painted by a friend: Javier Redondo. I do it as real countrepart, with poles and fill the empty space among them with papier mache paste DasPronto. I make the rubble bit a piece of foam hastly sculped and covered with a mix of cork, bits of wood,and cat lit and agenerous amount of white glue.



hope that this helps about rubble question

I love this one! Wonderful destruction (what a word ).
The painting really enhances your building.

Cheers
Claude

Excellent work and very inspiring.
A feature article of the build would be a nice addition.

Another stunning work from you Blockhaus!
There is something that makes me smile about your diorama: i remember looking incredously at the first Verlinden Way books with his Normandy ruins *without* much fallen stones nearby and asking myself about his strange kind of wars. Thanks for giving a more realistic way of showing destroyed houses
Not to mention an incredibly aesthetic composition

Beautifull,

Looks great! So you basicaly build a wood frame and fill in the space with Das Pronto? Seems very versatile, especialy as this style was/ is also often seen in parts of France.
One question: how did you make the lower part of the house?

The only point of criticism is that I would have painted more of the debris in a white/ plaster color on one side. (To match the outside of the house.)

Wow Carlos
This is a dramatic backdrop for a small scene...
It perfectly frames the action!
Great stuff
Brad

Very impressive. I like the way the rubble 'bursts' out from the house and spills onto the road. What vehicle are you going to include on the base (if any)?

I can visualise a group of soldiers standing around looking at the shape and how fragile the structure has become.

Good work,

Chas

Hello friends, thanks for your nice words. I want show here some things that may help about material employed and effects that I want obtain with them.
about wood, here I not employed the wood as ussual: the balsa, I used here palo santo ( sorry I not know is name in English maybe holywood... tradition says that this wood was employed for Crhist cross...)these wood that not have grain is very usseful for imitate wood employed in half timbered houses.
Another material is Das pronto I want represent the cracks that appear in a wall when a building is stressed. When Das dryed is volume and perimeter dimish, normally from perifery to the center, but if you glued the Das against the wood, the crack appear in the centre of the piece.
Hope that I can explain the goal and the path for reach them
Mark:lower part was done with a piece of cork and a layer of Das Pronto
Chas: I have two solutions: a panzerjäger team ambushed in the ruins, or a group of civilians searching for some usseful stuff: wood, ropes , etc, among devastation
I want talk with my friend about this.
Carlos

Carlos: you are a monstruo. Fantastic setting.

simply amazing! see, this type of work keeps me in the modeling biz!
