So here I am modeling another structure in town that brings back childhood memories. In one instance I remember jumping out of the bathtub and running down the hallway soaking wet to witness the fire trucks scream by my house responding to a call. Never did see them that day, as I went around the corner I slid and crashed. In turn breaking my foot!
I started with the door. I originally modeled this a 14’ in height thinking that’s what is should be…stupid me went down the street and measured it only to find out it was a 12’ door…should have checked first.
I’m going to make the main structure out of some scrap 1/4" styrene scrap from my buddy at the graphics shop reinforced with a redwood frame. This will be covered with PP brick , acrylic windows and make as you go trim from MORE scrap styrene.
Windows cut out
Brownstone cut from scrap strips and soon too take shape. Acrylic windows are to the right
I made it this far but realizing the prototype is larger than it looks from the street!!!
I’m gonna have to make some changes as there are way too many windows and this structure has gone through many changes itself since it’s 1857 build date. With a major revamp in 1907.
Down the side wall and omiting some windows as they will not be seen but keeping enough to make it look correct. This is a very deceiving structure and if I would have analyzed this more before starting I may have decided to build something else! It will stay outside year round and will be able to take a hit from a wild football so details are not going to be as important as my last build.
