It blends pretty well with the foreground. I am wondering if the backdrop is thin enough to be backlit. that would make the yellow glow.

Maybe if painted on canvas. Country: USA | Posts: 11982 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/29/2020 :  9:15:01 PM     quote: Originally posted by brucet Love the backdrop. If you want brick by brick ideas try Googling Marcel Ackle. He's a master at old buildings. Wow, It will take me years to get to that level. Worth a try. Thanks Carl and Pete.

You should get a 'translate to English'. I've use his techniques in o scale and it makes a big difference.

Maybe if painted on canvas. Or printed onto canvas? The benefit of doing that is having something durable that you can roll up for travel without wrinkling or developing tears.

Stepping up my level of insanity. Now starting to cast individual bricks. Working on a method to color them. Country: USA | Posts: 11982 brucet Engine Wiper Posted - 07/31/2020 :  8:10:23 PM     You don't have to be nuts but it certainly helps!! Lately I've been doing similar nutty jobs. Provided you look at what you are doing and not the finish line then it's surprising what you can achieve. Country: Australia | Posts: 499 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 08/01/2020 :  5:23:01 PM       On a related subject, I stumbled upon this yesterday and read all 400 pages: "The Tank Corps" by Maj. Williams - Ellis https://www.tradeshouselibrary.org/uploads/4/7/7/2/47723681/the_tank_corps_~_1919.pdf A good scan but it wasn't published as a photo book. James Country: USA | Posts: 6919 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/01/2020 :  5:35:09 PM     James, Thanks for the link I did not have that one. Bruce, It is getting real. Plaster of Paris is easy to color with water based craft paint while mixing. I doubt I ever get the same color bricks twice this way. This is the 250 brick test pour. I will ramp up to 500 at a time. I also added a floor to the church which you will see in the picture. The bricks will not be inside the church, it as just handy.

Frank Country: USA | Posts: 6164 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 08/02/2020 :  09:33:56 AM     Wow can you say "looney bin"?? Godspeed Larry they'll be waiting for you at the church with "white coats". Another impressive detail by you!! Jerry "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.
