The main ingredients were foamcard, DAS modelling clay (for the brickwork), cardboard and balsa wood. I have another couple to finish of yet and will post some photos of them when they are complete.

Looks stunning...love the house :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
ReplyDeleteLooking real good. Plus useful for other periods as well!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, this "opening roof" is really beautiful! I want the same one!
ReplyDeleteGreat work, a fantastic looking building. How long did it take to complete?
ReplyDeleteMade it over a period of about 6 weeks, on and off. Would have been quicker if I had planned even some of it, but NO that would be too easy.
DeleteIts a masterpiece Rodger. You have magic fingers mate, most impressed.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Rodger! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that is great. The exposed brickwork and collapsed roof...very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGreate work !!!!
ReplyDeleteRealy like the flowers outside the windows on the 2nd floor:)
Best regards Michael
Excellent ruined building Rodger.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely superb. Love all the little extra detail and when I eventually get round to trying something like this, I will be coming back to your fine building for reference.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing how you made the exposed brickwork effect and also was the textured effect on the walls a thin wash of plaster?
Yes, plaster dabbed on with a sponge and then lightly flattened with a palette knife when semi dry. I will try to explain more on the brickwork in a couple of weeks when I finish and post the next building.
DeleteBravo pour la réalisation de ce bâtiment. Christian
ReplyDeleteStunning build Sir! I love the little touches like the flowers in the wind boxes; brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, and finished in 6 weeks on and off. Quite impressive.
ReplyDeleteGreat effort, vision, and end product. These bldgs should provide great scenery and fighting ground.
ReplyDeleteThat is one special piece of terrain. Excellent job and pushing the standard higher and higher.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job mate, well done!
ReplyDeletevery nice job.
ReplyDeleteThat is very nice indeed there and something to be pound of. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice building...and it can be used for many periods.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work. The plaster walls, the stonework, the chimney, the roof....!

Great piece of work very useful!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work! My only quibble is that in photo 13, the rubble pile is in an intact corner of the building and not under where the damage took place. Still far better than anything I have done. I'll second the flowers as a great touch - they add a sense of the surreal.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post and I must apologize for that. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now with the Hubby being ill and am not doing a proper job of things lately
ReplyDeleteThis is so much better than something you can purchase at a manufacturer. The exposed brick and that flower box lend a great deal of realism to the piece. I have no idea how you manage to do something this difficult and I admire the work. Have you considered selling scenery like this?
Rodger...that is an excellent job on the house...real nice work
ReplyDeleteNice work Rodger!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have likte these...
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
Oh those are very nice!
ReplyDeleteVery nice buildings, I mean ruins! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings
