Its the most realistic banana suit I have seen.
I'd go blue addidas tracksuit, to contrast with the yellow. But dirty it up.

* for the curious and brave- thumbnails:
Rev nice did some 2d Paper building drawings a bit more "deformed" than those a few years ago.
Personally I think 3D versions of them or yours would look great on a table. Fantasy scenery that is a little bit "Tim Burton" - non right angles with off verticals.
You would need the full town done the same though.

« on: May 06, 2013, 10:18:01 AM »One thing they have got right - same sized windows. I slavishly copied the alternating-sized openings from the original Victorian drawings for the Griffin House, and really wish I hadn't. Version 3 will have them all standardised
Have you considered resin windows?
Do the fancy moulding, and the half the sliding sash windows as one resin cast with a thin carrier (that can easily be removed) and the other sash as laser cut acrylic? 2 or 3mm deep in total.
You could sell them separatley, and just cut holes to pop then in on future models?

Tutorials / Re: painting (lasercut) brick buildings
« on: May 06, 2013, 12:10:36 AM »Maybe someone could write a tutorial with basic pointers for potential wall builders?
There are so many things - the best way is to find the real thing (or a detailed photo) and study it.
i.e. take a sketch pad, draw how the doors and windows openings work. Measure it. Draw the bricks.
Lots of construction methods change over the years, and there are things that you won't notice until you look closely (like what stops the bricks above a window falling down)
You will see how few weird shaped bricks or blocks their are - they are nearly all rectangles.
Look at windows with curved tops (arches) and see how they are built.
Look at the brick bonds
Count the whole bricks between window openings, they are normally positioned so the brickies doesn't need to have odd length bricks (just full or 1/2 normally)
Look where the window frame is placed in the wall. (in the UK it is often between the outside bricks, in Germany it is often behind the outside layer of bricks so 100mm from the front surface)
It is structurally strongest to have windows above one another, with piers to support weight at corners etc.
You can build almost anything in any way today, it just costs so much to do fancy cuts and use non standard sizes people don't do it.

Buy OO scale... its 1/76
It then needs enlarging when you print it out, I suggest 135% which will easily fit on A3 paper, and should give a ship 81cm long.

Would you buy a well sculpted normal 28mm modern soldier with WW1 webbing and a pumpkin sized head, clown hands on the end of stumpy arms, clown feet and a 1/32 scale gun?
Thats the equivalent of this building. Nicely executed but very flawed

If they put some research into it - corrected the obvious flaws and sold them as ashlar stone buildings they would be good.
Ian would be the person to say if laser etching a real brick pattern (almost 7 horizontal lines per cm vertically and 3 or 4 verticals (split in the correct pattern)) at scale would be possible without turning the wood into a fireball.

I love these buildings.
Four of the windows opening are on the point structural failure. The bricks are too big to fire properly so are just dry clay inside.
Buildings designed by someone who has no idea of how a real building is made, just stage sets.
VERY NICE paint job though.

No need for duplicate figures then
but a book (bible) alternative might work with a big revolver alternative in his other hand.
