FOS Brody & Martins (2019 Tom Schwarz build challenge)

[ReadingBob]

Another quick update (just so I can show the walls glued together).

For 'blinds' I take a sheet of printer paper and paint it either a green or beige color.  A full sheet lasts a long time.  Then I cut strips off a little wider than the window openings.  I take the strip and, using a square, cut off random lengths.


Then I put a little glue around the window, inside the building of course. 


I put the blind in place varying the height from window to window so it doesn't look too consistent.


This is a simple structure so I glued one side wall to one end wall and tried my best to keep everything square.  I use a marble block so I have a flat base.  I repeated this step with the other side wall and end wall so I ended up with two halves of the building which were then glued together.


Next I added some trim to the top of the walls.  Longer than necessary and cut to fit after the fact of course.


As I said, cut to fit. 


Hey!  It's time to go home so I'll stop here.  More to show next time around. Thanks for following along!

Incredible Bob! IMO, those might be the best wall treatments you've ever done. You really nailed the weathering- very much reminds me of Doug's displays. Great job!

Really looking great, Bob!

Bob, definitely top-notch work so far. My favorite bit is how the coal sign works with the two-toned wall. Wonderful.

Thanks John!  If it reminds you of one of Doug's displays I must have done something right!

Thank you George!  It's been a fun little build.  I'm happy with how it's coming together.

Thanks Jim.  You got a sneak peek at what the rest of the thread will contain.

I'm sure you've answered this before, Bob, but do you use a little cell phone stand/tripod for your threads?

I'm sure you've answered this before' Bob, but do you use a little cell phone stand/tripod for hour threads?

Here's my setup Dave.  I have an old Sony Digital camera on a small tripod pointed at my work area.  It's kind of top heavy so I have to careful not to tip it over when I'm pressing buttons.  I know, by feel/location, which button on the rear sets the timer.  If it was a newer camera with just a screen and no physical buttons I'd have to look at the screen each time to set the timer (unless that could be set as a default on a newer camera).

Don't know if it will work with your camera  Bob , but I use a program from Sony to view and take the shots with my Sony a68 , the program is Sony Imaging Edge might be handy for you too.  https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/imagingedge/en/download/

Another fantastic build and thread.  I agree with the others that have said the walls look amazing.
