N-SCALE/ 1/144 PLASTER RECAST (Diorama pending)

I took advantage of the warm weather this past Sunday and tried my hand at recasting some Greenmax N-Scale buildings for a project........ I still have never completed, I still have this urge to build a city scene..haha (4 those that know)

I have decided to scale it down to a 1/144 size instead of HO=1/100 scale for a few reason's, less space to be taken up/ less exact details needed (opposed to larger scale)...As I have learned from my friend Jerry over at Quinntopia by using optical illusions via paper / styrene strips for lack of better description / and last but not least...save's on materials / supplies .

The only DOWN SIDE too working with plaster in this small scale is the structural integrity is much more fragile than 1/35 th scale buildings....(as you may notice..I already have breakage), the whole purpose is to realistically damage a building or 2....BUT not SCRAP a perfectly good plastic kit if not needed.

I don't really have a time line for completion, but I wanted to share this anyways.

Many More photos @PAINTEDHOBBIES.

I have no idea when this may get completed, I'll try an work on this as time allows (fingers crossed..haha)

KILLER A.C. DIORAMA! Modeled by Decay

Marc aka Decay  .....Has to be one of the most humbled modelers I think I know aside from a few other guys in the gunpla verse, But his work is definitely paramount in comparison.

First it was his Armored Core Sunshine Diorama at Painted Hobbies  which blew my mind, NOW...this bad azz scratch built hanger scene.............all I can say is DROOL!

Scrap Build 1/35 British S.A.S. Vignette : For PaintedHobbies.Com

Here is a little something I have thrown together during the afternoon, Partly to scratch an "ITCH"...and the other part is to continue... if you will.....To promote the new Gallery Web Site PAINTEDHOBBIES.

Seeing as though the "VISION" is to have a Web Gallery full of varied scale, and genre's of hobby arts.

I figured I would start by adding 1 of my own 1/35 scale builds, nothing real glorious..just a simple vignette corner thrown together from some scrap Verlinden and Custom Dioramics sets I had left over.
I have built some additional details out of balsa wood, crafted a bottle from clear kit sprue...but nothing too elaborate will go into this....just sweet and simple.

(Pastel weathering and a tad bit more detail painting yet to be done)

Progress shots can also be found at PAINTEDHOBBIES filed under my profile in my Album's.

Hope to see some of your awesome works at PAINTEDHOBBIES real soon.

Cheers,
Kriz
