A concrete shed
Posted: Tue Jul 28, 2009 12:24 pm
This is a simple concrete shed. Made out of styrene, daubed with Milliput for that uneven concrete surface, and then painted with watered down grey acrylics with black added along the way to get the textured roughcast look. I also sprinkled white talcum powder onto the wet paint and stippled it in to add to the effect.
The door is a piece of styrene with grooves cut in it for the planked effect, then painted brown, and washed to fill the grooves. The doorknob and hinges were painted on.
The MG came from my Bulldog. The MG base was made from the cheap version of JB Weld that B&Q sell. It was just moulded and allowed to set.
I did try making my own sandbags using first aid dressings but that didn't work, so I wll have to try something else. I might add either a ladder going up to the roof, or put a hatch in the roof so that the gunners can get to the MG.

Problem with exhuming some of these fascinating ancient threads is that they appear ( sometimes) a wee 'threadbare'. I suppose some posts have redacted entries.
or crusty rolls instead of camomile tea bags.
