I won´t repeat my ideas and details as The Town House number 2 only that I´ll add that I´ve come up with a couple of tricks to speed up the building of the house.
1. Pinning the sides together with pins as I glued the wall sections together. This prevents them from falling apart as the next section is attached. The pins I removed after the joins were dry.
2. Using bits of the lasercut sprues to reinforce the internal (unseen) corners. This lends the unfinished construction stages a huge amount of extra stability and helps keep the walls square when duriing later construction.
3. Prepainting the etched wall sheets before adding them to the building. This is not only quicker to do as they are all on a flat surface but the overall colour is then consistant.

Nice buildings, looking forward a group shot of "Styrow on the Foam".
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteWhen they are based and the weather has got a bit friendlier (the war season also can then start..no space inside) I´ll take a couple of shots of the whole village..well...small town.

po po.....wow!
ReplyDeleteThey do produce some fine models may I say!
You did an excellent job on these mate. And I am very glad you found a way to speed up the building process!

Thanks
DeleteI´m going to have to get hold of a couple more and see if I can combine all the "tricks" (I thought of a couple more after finishing this one) and get one done in a couple of hours.
Cheers

I can understand that it is a happy family. What a "Villa"!

I'd live there as it's nicer than my house but smaller, great work Paul!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding; these are very, very nice Paul!
ReplyDeleteNice building Paul.
ReplyDeleteFran - I'll ask one of my colleagues in the Physics department to work on a miniaturisation device so that you can live there (if you wish) ;)
This family can be happy : their new house is really amazing!
ReplyDeleteBut, but, I can't see any kennel for the dog??
Great work!
Comes with a two-horse power garage, huh! Very nice, Paul.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on these impressive models. They look just right... the only thing still needed may be some signage for the ground-level shops.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Richard
Definitely a des res! Great work Paul.
ReplyDeleteI want to live there! Well, if it was bigger, or if I was smaller.
ReplyDeleteVery nice building Paul.
ReplyDeletevery nice. I am assuming that it is not going to be desinged to show internal features. any way good work on the stability. I looked at those paper and wood structures and doubted their strength
ReplyDeleteYour models get better and better all the time-really impressive!
