Hi Moni,

coming along quite nicely, nice looking roofs.

with the resizing of the doors, you have to be carful not to make a mistake by making large doors to small. what I mean is old noble buildings used and still have large doors, in the old days large doors also meant wealth, so depending on what kind of building and purpose it has, you need to do some research on it.

the buildings you are using are commercial once, and my Dutch building is a little family home, you know what I mean

these little details makes or brakes a build, well that's what I think.

as for changing the size if you put some plaster or putty in the gap between door an building you can put in a texture of your liking and blend it al together.

and keep the pictures coming.

cheers Richi

hi Richi ,

thank you do appreciate the kind words

yes i did realize it was your build and I,m so sorry for the mix up off names

i made the roof from 1.5mm x 13mm w x 15 mm L bosa

oh thank you for the info so a shop or restaurant, would have a a big doorway , the thing that

i was wondering was the high off it ,as its so high over his head ,and too me just looks a bit odd

what i will do is take a picture off what i was thinking off doing to lower it abit

or do you realy think just leave it at that high ?

cheers Moni

How about a small window above your door? Like my front door:

Hi Moni,

sorry for not tuning in sooner. Well the general idea is right, there is a but, the 54mm (1/32) figurines resembles a real height of 1890mm or 1,89m / 1950mm 1,95m. That's rather large for the time period, the 1/35 figurines go for 1,75m / 1,85m depends on the fabricator. A normal door goes from 2,00m until 2,10m keeping that in mind you should get a head clearing from about 20cm / 35cm in real, this would be in 1/35 scale about 6/10 mm. The easiest way is, to take a pop stickle here they are 8mm width, the figurine you are going to use, and make the door as large as the figurine plus the height of the pop stickle this will give you for the optic's a good result. But the most important things of all you must like it!!

This is how I do it, so its not writhen anywhere that this is the right way but in modelling you can get some funny things happening by using different kinds of I think they are called vendors? there for you need to experiment and look at your surroundings.

And Dave's idea is a good one to make the door smaller but still keep that large door window.

hope this helps a little

Cheers Richi

hi Richi, thank you , i do understand what you are getting att and do take it all in and its very good info ,for

me to keep in mind,i do like the sound off using the pop stick seams a easy way around it all,and i was going

to use the idea that Dave had said as its a good idea , as i said before just looked odd to me

[monica]

but have done quite abit hear and there, and is looking much better i think

added alot off rubble, and other bits hear and their, and ever working street lights which work,im very happy about, they work and no zapping lol,

Great work Monica lights are a very nice addition

[Guest]

Small white leds fitted inside with the thinnest wire connecting to the battery pack, with a switch hidden somewhere should do the trick. A job for electric people though...

Hi Moni,

Wow that came out great with those street lights.

If I may, I would darken the wooden pieces in the rubble a little bit more to match the windows. You know what I mean?.

waiting for an update.

Cheers Richi
