making buildings in foamboard miniature building construction in foamboard by Emmanuel Nouaillier Emmanuel Nouaillier shows how to scratch build and age miniature structures. This is will introduce my personal approach and techniques for scratch building and ageing buildings, pertaining to the typical northern French urban landscape of the 1940s and early 50s. I believe that a proper rendition of textures and adequate weathering of the different elements is important when making a miniature scene, where the optimal development of each small detail of a diorama becomes more a necessity to modellers who want to show, with utmost realism, models that are better detailed and weathered I will explain stage by stage in future articles how to create peculiar materials and elements and how to give the models ‘life’ while employing generic methods. Some of the ‘basic’ tools that I use to work the foam and give it some aspects and different alterations in scale. Forex may be an unfamiliar product to most modellers. Step 1 Step 2
Anatomical Heart Necklace in antique silver on a 24 by billyblue22 The Bob Project: Part 3 After months and months of planning and building, Bob's new home is finally complete. If you've been following Sweet Peach, you may remember Bob began the build of a classic modern home late last summer. Influenced by famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright and a desire to tread lighter on the environment, Bob has brought his vision of the perfect home to life. For a recap on the build and design, click to see the Bob Project Part 1 and Part 2... I love the open floor plan and eye catching, spacious kitchen. Bob decided on the tankless hot water heater by Rinnai, which heats water in the home only as needed. I also really like how the heating and cooling features in his home, via Trane, are divided into four zones, depending on usage. I was happily surprised to see Bob go with a dark finish to his hardwood floors. The mantle is a beautiful piece and I like the roughness of it. Overall, Bob is quite content with his new home. And we can't forget Bass, Bob's young pup.
Silver Tree Bark Ring 3 stack by billyblue22 One can dream Once upon a time there were some very well-off folks in Vancouver who wanted big new homes. They called upon a builder by the name of Keystone Projects Ltd. and asked them to build the homes of their dreams. They asked for fancy kitchens and bathrooms and rooms for their pool tables and views to die for and a car lover's garage. And POOF! Keystone made it happen. Treehotel, Sweden UPDATE: Treehotel are now offering their Mirrorcube treehouse as a turnkey solution available to the public Don’t get me wrong, cities are great. Hell, I currently live in London and before my days are over want to spend a serious amount more time in New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris, Sydney and more, but when you need to really get away, it should be to the Treehotel, not the Waldorf. An eco-based design hotel concept, each “room” is wonderfully individual with stunning design and even better views.
