One of my Christmas presents was a model kit of some traditional Korean buildings. They were all laser cut from wood with some rubberised sheets to cut out for the tiled roofs. The rubberised tiles roof material was really fiddly to do, so after one failed attempt I decided to use gesso paste as I have done before with buildings to create the tiled look.

Handy looking dwellings and such. I think I'll be taking a leaf out of your book on this one!

They certainly are a useful addition.
DeleteVery nice work there Peter:).
ReplyDeleteThanks, a good modelling start to 2023.
DeleteNice little Buildings there Peter - a good bit of modelling- well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks KEV. The kit, other than the roof, was straightforward and fun to make.
DeleteNice work! Will these Korean buildings see service in your Samurai battles?
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the plan as they look similar enough.
DeleteBeautifully done! I'm not familiar with gesso paste - going to have to look into that. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI found the material in an art shop and you spread it onto the model and use a toothpick to draw in features you want. In this case I draw criss-cross lines for tiles.
DeleteAn interesting style; terrain should always be fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteAgree. I also try and make it robust, as my terrain gets put away in a box after use.
DeleteInteresting idea with the gesso- will give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI have used the gesso paste for tiled and thatched roofs quite successfully.
DeleteVery nice Peter and they look great with the backdrop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben, the backdrop is quite useful when photographing painted models.
DeleteNice job. The background seems somehow especially appropriate. 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you.
