Country: USA | Posts: 6372 Martin Welberg Fireman Posted - 01/05/2011 :  01:58:25 AM       That doorway looks good!! Even a blindplate or how ya call'm for the lock, superb.. Country: Netherlands | Posts: 6736 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/05/2011 :  04:56:14 AM     Even the lock, Karl! You're pushing the detailing very far. Great! Are the boards card or wood? When I made the little red shed on Dave's Corner, I used thin strips of wood (3mm x 0.6mm = 0.12" x 0.024"). I first stained them the usual way (water and black ink) then used a dipped a hard brush into red and tapped over the planks in a randomnly pattern (the Brett Gallant's method with a brush instead of a cloth), and got a satisfactory look (a bit worn, though, and it may not be your goal), which I then still more weathered with another staining plus a few splashes of paint since these Troelsy Mainish guys are not very careful...

Come on now Dallas, we both know that that 1/35 stuff is practically large scale, you should have no problems.... I suppose you dont even want to know about the key thats in the lock on the door then??

Another great build as usual and even in this build you pushed the envelope with the striking plate in the door.
