Ex–cel—lent!!! Nice work, keep posting as you finish it. [:)]
Looks great!
Very very nice. Is this all board on board constuction? How do you weather your wood? stains etc?
Thanks for the nice comments.
I mostly cut the shapes of the buildings out of sheet balsa. Then board them. The shingles I cut from a sheet of black sand paper then glue them on one by one. Tedious but it can go pretty fast.
The weathering is the easest part of all. A cup of rubbing alcohol with a few drops of India black ink mixed in and a Q tip to rub it on. Its like magic weathering lol goes fast. Once in a while, I rub some colored pencils on the wood first.
The best part is when your building old buildings like this, you don’t have to be careful with the glue. Use lots and let it get on the wood where it shows. It adds to the weathering when you use the alcohol and Ink. These are not hard to do and its fun coming up with diffrent shape and sizes.
