And for more details, this (rude) traslation of the pictures texts....any correction you´ll send me, I could edit to have a better text (anyones knows were is Xeoran and some corrections of the ezine....?)
Enjoy it
FIRST PART
The pictures 1, 2, 3, 4 correspond to the general structure of the scale model.
The walls and sidewalks are carried out with blended stucco with white glue, (more glue more hardness and more difficult to have breaks). Each block is carried out on a wooden foil with brilliant surface where I drew the form that I wanted to carry out. Then I cut fine ribbons of plastilina and I gave them the thickness that it needed for the walls and sidewalks , I was placing them on the drawing ,defining it to form a mold for the stucco.
The stucco forges quick and it retires very easy of the brilliant surface, the plastilina is taken out easy when not being glued to the stucco so we will have the block outside of the mold quick and easy. If we want to sand it we have to leave it a minimum of 24 hours for big pieces because the humidity that has doesn't allow the sanded.
For the highway I used a base of cardboard? to which I glued a black color sandpaper .
The corners of the buildings are finished off with ceramic pieces used to build scale models of houses and monuments.
In the pictures 5, 6, 7 and 8 we can be seen the different lids in the main sidewalk and alley carried out with plasticard with different thickness and forms.
In the picture Nº 8 you can appreciate like they are built.
First it is important to define in the mold of the sidewalk the hole where you want to put on the lids for not having to carry out it later in the dry stucco.
Also I carry out some marks with angles of plasticard of all the lids for their best placement.
The assembly of electric tubes is carried out with cables and pieces with interesting forms recycled that got me the attention when seeing them... "this can be for terrain,jejej."
The rest of the pictures is about doors, pipes, electric systems and ventilation, everything carried out with plasticard, waste pieces of electronic and f toys of an "everything at 1€" mainly given by a certain Interruptor(great collector of several objects for terrain) and Corvus Belli.
In the doors the idea is that they open up toward the interior of the wall up as for a side , and this is gotten placing a mark that fixes it to the wall . After, I built the door, I put it in the mark and I finished off her fixing with the other mark . As you can see in the picture 13 and 20 , when leaving the lifted door the effect that I wanted to get could be appreciated .
The most complicated part of this phase was the external box of the ventilation system in the wall of the alley building , because I had to cut in pieces the tube that I used to get the bend of the one that this incrusted in the wall , in the part under the box . This way I give him the same aspect that both that I put up and a waste aspect.
I hope this small explanation serves you as something to dare to carry out terrain
SECOND PART
In the second part of the assembly you can make an idea of the evolution that the model had . The used materials are the same ones that I put in the first part.
In these pictures and in those of painting , design and structural changes can be appreciated . They were being carried out on the march, normal thing in big work as this.
THIRD PART
phase of colored since the scale model was primed by Ángel Giraldez until getting a convincing finish.
The scale model is colored with the xerografo in their great majority with a finish for details and some of the colored pieces with paintbrush (in this Ángel collaborated painting the green container and the barricade of wheels) Like it is appreciated in some pictures I used a lot of masking band and paper to be able to paint with the aerografo, this and the time that it is used to clean it is the biggest problems that I have when painting it , but the result is worthwhile.
I have to thanks to Juan Carlos Ávila the ideas that he gave me to begin the work, to Corvus Belli their trust and their patience, and Ángel Giraldez their work part, also to the rest of components of Ulo paintbrush for their support.
I hope you like pictures and they give you ideas to cheer up to paint big sceneries.[/b]
