Metcalfe Regal Cinema background cardstock build.

[Janbouli]

While waiting for paint to dry , decals to set etc. on the Wagon company build I started this lovely little cardstock build.

The envelope with the cardstock parts inside.
The parts are cut out of cardstock, you only have to cut 1 straight line of the parts to loosen them from the board.


Some of the windows with the glazing .


Build up and glazing of the shopwindows.





Everything is built up layer by layer.





Then installed to the main frame.

Main frame with the 2 shopwindows installed, the color's are all still as they come printed in the kit.
Some bracing





Corner stones and center stone pillars assembled.


Everything toned down with artists marker Light Grey.

More tomorrow

Hey Jan:

Looks real nice. Amazing what they can do with card stock.

Thanks Karl , very much appreciated , and yes cardstock looks great especially for non-wood buildings, it does feel less modeling though , more cut and glue , but it looks better with a bit of weathering so I'll call it modeling anyway.

Jan;

I think it is great modeling, just different from modeling with wood.

Ditto.  And it also is too small for my fingers and eyes.

Beautiful looking building Jan. How do you paint and weather without messing up the cardstock?
