Old Collingwood Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share #1143 Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Evening all, made some quite good progress with the inside wall of the farmhouse - firstly I found some clear plastic (the casing of some jump seats) I then measured the windows and set about cutting out some plastic pieces just slightly larger than the MDF window cut outs, I then ran a film of PVA and placed the glazing sheets, then I made some cardboard strips and started framing the windows and doors, I finished off by applying a few coats of Nato Black and touched up the White after doing the edges of the frame.

Old Collingwood Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share #1150 Posted July 10, 2021 When I get round to fitting a first level floor - I will have to do quite a bit of fettling around to get the right hight, so I will be able to place a few soldiers firing from the Dorma windows that will be on the bottom edge of the roof (question is - how will place them there) The problems I face are from the designed physical size of the Farmhouse as it was cut too narrow and with the windows too low down, this will affect the ability to get the right angle for a staircase and allow me to place the first level floor at the right hight, so I may have to fudge it a bit and put a step in front of each dorma window for my soldiers to stand on so they can shoot from the windows, none of it will be seen once the roof is on.

Canute Posted July 10, 2021 Share #1151 Posted July 10, 2021 A lot of structures have something called selective compression, shrinking segments to "fit'. Also, the walls and floors aren't scale thickness, so that eats up your workable volume. You'll probably need to complete all the figures for the first floor, then add the next floor, sealing them in. That will keep you bouncing back and forth between the structure and your excellent figure painting. Won't get bored.

Thank you for your kind words Ken, yes I think you are right in the way I will need to do the roof dorma windows/figure placement - probably after trial and error sizing - I will probably place the figures on some blocks to get the right hight, then when I am ready to close it up - I will offer the roof up fitting the dorma window side first.

Old Collingwood Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share #1153 Posted July 10, 2021 Evening all, next step in the dolls house (farmhouse) is to work on the roof sections to get an idea for the spacing of the first floor beams/flooring, to do this I first made up the roof containing the Two roof sections with the Two roof beams, after doing this I cut away the cardboard sections that make up the dorma windows, after building the Two side pieces to the backing plate I marked a inner area that needed to be cut out for access to the dorma window - firstly I pained on a few layers of PVA and heated with a hairdryer, this is to strengthen the cardboard ready for cutting out the centre. Next job was to mark the Three cut outs on the roof then using my hacksaw I cut down and using my blade cut across till all Three was cut out, I then glued the sub dorma frame to the roof and added the roof pieces, then using some paper I made some flashing to seal a gap where the dorma roof meets the main roof. This will now give me a good guide for where to place the roof beams.

Old Collingwood Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share #1154 Posted July 12, 2021 Evening all, right back at it this evening after having a day off to watch a certain Footy match, so I have been continuing making the Dorma windows, I have tried to make the cut outs in the roof larger as the frames for the widows are not really big enough to fit a rifleman firing - so I will have to give it some thought or use the specially selected group of much much smaller guys😁 I have also started on the Two upper roof windows - these have been glazed and will be displayed with a darkened interior and with the windows shut (the other Three had there windows removed by the troops to give more firing room. Oh, the mid chimney stack was also fitted.

Yep, I will deffo do something - to good an opportunity to wast not putting a few firing from the windows. What I might do - Is place them in there but remove their Shakos so they have more headroom, and glue them in situ rather than trying to place them on the first level floor and having to try to fit the roof around them (that would be next to impossible due to the square cut out shapes in the roof under the dorma frame.

Old Collingwood Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share #1165 Posted July 15, 2021 Evening all, I continued with the roof by adding a ridge flashing strip, this was then painted, I then painted the faces of the Dorma's Black, after this was dry I applied a dirty wash all over making it look weathered, then a few brushed on flat coats to seal it all in. So apart from fitting a few figures - the roof section is finished.
