Ron's Miniart Factory Ruin

[RonGlass]

Here are some progress pics of the factory ruin. Overall I am pleased to this point, but am not completely sold on the scale appearance of the metal mesh "rebar", looking for any opinions but in particular as to whether I maybe should trim away some of the excess mesh at the edges. Just not sure....
Also- I plan on not using the doors provided in the kit, they're a bit ornate for a factory. I'll try to find some period photos of a more spartan example for reference

Here are a couple of closer pics

Progress is looking good Ron. The building makes for an impressive central or background piece for the dio.

Cheers,

Thank you Richard !

Hi Ron, I rather like the effect you have there with the rebar.......only I might consider making the edges a little more ragged looking by snipping some of the horizontal intersecting bars off, thereby giving the steel bar a little less uniform appearance. Hope this is helpful.......not meant as criticism in the least, just my "druthers" is all. Rick H.

That's great Rick, just what I'm needing, more sets of eyes so-to-speak. I favored the mesh over using individual wires in the plaster, just needs a bit of dialing in then. :thumb2:

Excellent rubble.

[RonGlass]

Thanks, thinking of adding in a bent piece of tubing and/or wire for the conduits and plumbing too

Ron,
As has been said this will make an excellent back drop for a great scene.

This is looking really good Ron keep up the great work…concrete and rebar looks great

[RonGlass]

Thanks Guys ! The irony here us, this side will hardly be seen at all, its front-facing unless I come up with another premise idea for the base. Still a lot of fun to build and I could always put a mirrored tile behind it in my showcase
