Ready for paints and the metal signs arrived as well!
Added 2024-06-12 21:13:56 +0000 UTCMy friends, today I finished the construction and that includes the preparation of some accessories that will lay on the ground. Probably not all of them, but it's good to prepare some extras just in case.
The whole facade is easy to break into sub-assemblies: the main wall, barn door, ground floor window, the boarded up panel of the window, the wooden attic, the lamp, and, of course, the ground and all the clutter associated with it.
But it was the arrival of my custom enameled signs that made feel pumped! Printed on a satin 135g photo paper at 300DPI by a professional online printer service. I spent several nights collecting and editing these signs so I'm very happy with the final outcome. All of them are tied to Czechoslovak history and I have a couple of them in my home as decorations. So, in a sort of nostalgic turn, the idea of recreating old Czechoslovak architecture (even if the buildings themselves are made up) came to my mind :)

2024-06-14 17:43:17 +0000 UTCI wondered if people would be interested in them... but ironically, these are the ones I'd love to keep because they take up zero space and look pretty good hanging on my staircase wall! :D

2024-06-14 17:06:55 +0000 UTCIt's from Eduard. They have multiple patterns and sizes. But Aber meshes are IMHO much nicer.

2024-06-14 17:06:17 +0000 UTCWell, the signs probably won't be that useful in historical dioramas, but who knows, maybe there will be an interesting tank from Czechoslovakia! But they'll definitely be a part of each facade :)

2024-06-13 01:27:04 +0000 UTCI agree with Mike, the fact that the signs are tied to your life is a very cool feature and you should do this more often in future 😁

2024-06-12 22:05:57 +0000 UTCYou're right - the rebar would have detracted from the overall effect IMHO. And it's awesome to have a personal connection via the signs...do you think this will become a part of your art going forward?
