DIY buildings..[Part 1]

  • Engine Shed


    Using 1220x915x2.6mm Art-Bak standard from Wessex Pictures - Oldham.


    Cut to required shapes


    And glued together using Evo-Stik wood adhesive .. [very quick]


    Some colored corrugated card used .. ideal for roller shutters..etc ..


    The brickwork is printed out on 260 gram photo paper, cut and stuck on ..


    The windows are designed in Corel draw .. white frames on black background. And finished off with a layer of transparent acetate… to make them look glazed ..


    The chimneys… .were from center pivot windows .part of the rotating mechanism ..


    [Yes, I used to work on building sites]


    The roof slightly scored to resemble effect of metal / lead roofing and air brushed gray ..


    Or copper [if a new copper roof] .. but these go green after time]


    Engine shed main doors… these can look pretty good, designed in Corel Draw… .with small amount of glazing if required ... done on photo paper ..


    And bits of plastic sections for edges / gutters / downpipes etc.


    Enjoy.
