It's hard for me to judge my own work, so I'd like you to tell me if you like the small facade I made for a Berlin-Dio:





Do you have any recommendations? (please note that the lower window and door won't get windoframes since they'll be covered under debris in the dio.)
Thanks a lot,

ekke

PS: you can get a copy of the model:

Hi Ekke
I like it alot. Nice colours and well done. I would clear some of the plaster on the inside to clear some bricks there aswell.
Some posters, papernotes and slogans on the wall, and it rocks. Well it does anyway.

Hope it was helpful. Good luck with it

maybe its a trick of the light, but from the front the window dosent look like its completely against the wall on the right side

maybe im wrong, but check that out

other than that, looks good, i would agree and say add a poster

That looks great Ekke, you painted it really well, I love the old, worn look of the plaster. I don't built in 1:72, but if I did I would be interested in one (or more ) of these.

Cheers

Looks very good, mate. How bout some wallpaper on the inside, or at least the burnt and peeling remnants. And maybe some typically '40s black&white family portraits?

That looks really good! I especially like the weathering of walls. It may be the photo, but the bricks have a very strong colour, if I were you I would highlight them with some light grey to make them look more dusty.

Otherwise, great work, I am looking forward to seeing more!
