Warehouse

[14th Brooklyn]

Finished painting my scratchbuild (foamcore) warehouse yesterday and posted a few pictures on my blog:

THX!

The warehouse is meant to be generic, but it´s main use will be for WWII. Not gangster games though, since I do not play pulp.

You are right... the roof is currugated cardboard with a plasticcard and foamcore backing to keep it from warping.

Cheers,

I was wondering where the ladies were then realised I'd misread....

What method did you use for texturing the walls? It's really effective.

Simple and effective!
The lights above the doors and the sliding doors themselves really add to the piece. Did you buy those bits or are they scratchbuilt?

THX guys.

The textured paint is really just regular white wall paint with quartz sand mixed in (you can use normal sand, but that can lead to dark spots from the dark grains and you might have to give the building more coats of paint to cover that up). It is also available comercially, but cost about three times as much.

The lights were scratchbuild from the round shields in the plastic roman boxes and floral wire (more on that on the blog). The sliding doors and rails were scrarchbuild from wooden coffee stirrers, matchsticks and plasticard. You can see that in the next oldest post on the blog which has some WIP shots (before thentextured paint was applied).

Keep meaning to do something with the wooden coffee stirrers I seem to acquire from certain coffee shops - they normally end up being used as paint stirrers but seeing your doors has given me a couple of ideas.

Right, need to pop out tomorrow morning for a coffee and acquire some more stirrers...................
