I stuck to a pretty simple method of using foam-core and wood glue, pinning as I glue and removing the pins once dry. I picked up a set of dressmaking pins for making LARP costumes and have honestly found as much, if not more, use making foam-core buildings. I suspect using expanded polystyrene or solid foam insulation might have been quicker, but once I'd started, I deceided to finish it that way.
Walls shown in situ. 40mm based miniature for scale. |
I kept the height of the walls to 50mm, with an additional 5mm top. sat on the same surface as the cork tiles, so total actual height ended up around 53mm. Just high enough above the height of a standard model to feel like a wall but not too high so I couldn't get my fingers in to move them around.
This is looking really smart, I look forward to seeing it done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Smillie, it's getting there, slow but sure
DeleteComing along nicely dude.
ReplyDeleteShould look great when it's finished.
Desperate to get it done, but being as patient as I can Bob. Glad you like it
DeleteVery nice. Thanks for taking us through your steps of construction.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay. It's taken a while, so I thought I might as well show it as things progress
DeleteReally looking forward to seeing this fella when it's done, dude
ReplyDeleteThank you dude, getting there... bit by bit!
DeleteThe tedium will e worth it in the end, great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. It normally always is. I've found it quite theraputic and oddly whilst it's a project I've been desperate to finish, taking my time with it has been rather enjoyable. No enforced deadline this time
DeleteVery good it looks to!
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, hope it continues to inspire and excite.
