I love all the look of the rough hewn timber. |
Available foam that I had laying around in my scrap pile that forms the structural core to be clad in wood. |
Thankfully, this project has used most of my Popsicle sticks from the 80s. |
For the Governor's Box, I decided to use pavers to represent an upgraded flooring material. Nothin' but the best for the Governor. BTW - material used for this was acquired from the Doll House department at my local craft store. They're sheets of embossed styrene that represent ceramic bathroom tiles. |
Base color applied and ready for a much needed dry brushing and weathering. |
Side by side comparison: weather or not? |
Almost done.
Good movie and that's some really good work, it's looking great.
ReplyDeleteSuperb - great progress. I'd always choose weathering and, as age starts to creep up on me, I lean towards a lighter finish on eveything where possible. Mostly so I can see stuff on the gaming table. You can always add more detail, posters, grafitti and other detritus to break up the finish if it feels too 'clean'.
ReplyDeletethanx guys!
ReplyDeleteZA - i agree and can relate about the visibility aspect. weathering breathes life into most of my work and funny how you mention posters... stay tuned for the next installment of this series...
Tanks both fantastic and rapid progress - very impressive! It looks really effective and yes, a few blood splatters will give it that 'lived in' feel!
