1st Kit on what I hope will become our new home Period Miniatures Mel's Produce

[Janbouli]

Just a short thread but it's a start isn't it.
The instructions, black and white but clear and understandable.


The contents , stripwood , sheets of shingled roofing, clapboard from which you cut the walls and cut out windows and doors.


Metal castings for doors , windows and stairs ready for priming, I also did the doors and windows for a church kit from AMB.


First piece of clapboard ready for cutting.


All the walls cut.


First set some bracing at the same time glued some of the walls in place, gave a wash with A&I and then painted them using masking tape and 2 spray cans. The Green is gloss paint but on the wood treated with A&I it comes out like a stain.


Mainbuilding put together.


The roofing , sheets of shingles , they have a little relief to them, I think this will make it easier to make them realistic. Loading docks glued together.


Ready for weathering of the roof , adding stairs to the side and then place this into a hill side.

Not on my screen , and they're only 900 pix wide. No scroll bar either Jaime?

Jan,

I seem to have them cut off on the right as well!

Even the standing ones? they are 650 wide by 900 high, the 900 width shouldn't be a problem on any monitor.  Might be that the ad on the right pushes away the content on smaller screens. The fourth image should show 9 to 25 on the cutting mat.

How about this one , this is 600 x 450, all my images are linked from my website , I don't like uploading them to a site, takes much longer then posting with

Nice work Jan.....

[Janbouli]

Thanks all.

Funny you say you like the shingles Robert, on nScale.net that was the only part they didn't like , well at least till I showed them the next images. Still thinking of doing them over with some of Rich's shingles.

I found it on Ebay Rich, if you have the scale plans it's really easy to scratchbuild.

I wonder if Robert could puit the ads in the top or bottom banner so that images ( not really that large ) would show on Jaime's tiny screen 

Final images with stairs , chimney and loading docks in place, roof weathered and decals fixed.

The roof is not that shiny in reality.
