Video Step by Step: Build a low-relief structure part 2
For someone who hasn’t built a structure in many years and then never a low relief, I enjoyed learning about a few of the techniques to use. I’ve got a number of them to build for my own layout.
It is great to watch Cody work. I enjoy seeing the many new ideas and techniques he has in action
I would have added some type of industrial photo backdrop prior to positioning the building. Now I need to get a bottle of that PSA mateial.
One more tip on a building like this. I added the floor to the top floor of the building and put the magnetic catches on that level. Now there’s more flexibility in the rooftop design. It also allows do-overs on the mountings, something I needed! Good paint masking and brick detail tips.
Cody, this was one of the most useful episodes I have watched. Interestingly enough I had used the same two kits to produce my Zippo factory. I will now need to wait for a sale of the kits to upgrade and take advantage of your techniques. I often add black foam board to cover the open end of the model and avoid seeing through the building, this allows interior lighting, but I like the idea of the magnets. I agree with Robert below, I will also be adding the PSA and scraper to my workbench.
It must be nice not to have to worry about a budget.
Very useful video. I will definitely get the PSA and the seam scraper. Thanks.
The PSA looks interesting.
I wonder what other uses it has.
Ok. After finding Part Two, I want to say thank you for the modeling tips. I can’t wait to get to the auto supply store for the tinted glazing. I wonder if they have a green tint.
