Description This is my scratchbuild model of irish church. I planned to make it as a resin kit for model railroad in scale 1:160.
I made it from start to finish. I started with photos, than, made technical drawings drawing every single stone, cut it with laser cutter in cardboard, glued my master patterns, made several silicone moulds, cast resin and finally glued parts together and painted. That was quite an exercise. you can see more photos (including progress) on my blog: http//:themodelmaker.net

This is fantastic.
Do you happen to have any site or blog of your own explaining your techniques (aprart from themodelmaker)?
I've been making models for years and your mastery of plaster amazes me!!

Cheers

Thanks. I checked your models, they are great. Are you planning to create a whole village?
The rocks on my church are engraved by my laser on cardboard. I had to draw all of them on computer, that was also time consuming, but machine did all the cutting. Then I assembled flat parts, made silicone moulds and cast it in resin. I am planning to make few copies soon.

Thanks! Yes I think soon I'll do a little village, probabli under snow. I really think to use led and battery for the next work, a room (inside view) very interesting that laser, so is a laser that you can cut things? is expansive for buy it? maybe you can give me the name or some link, if you have time, where I can read about it
