O'Neills, the Works...

So, it's been a while since I've posted some building work which doesn't mean I sat on my but. It's just that I am 'Retired ' now. ....( sounds almost like a conviction.. :) and what they say seems to be true. No time to do anything. All those projects that were waiting for this 'phase' in one's lifetime...

Anyways, I did work on this glorious kit, O'Neills, for a while. And now no more excuses for not posting some pics.

Just a few changes I've made, for example, as you can see, I am covering the roofs with individual shingles instead of the perfectly good provided laser cut ones, but for those who know my work, I like to go the extra mile... :).

So, all the details are done, the main building , that is, the construction is done. Still working on the workshop, so soon I'll be able to put everything together and work further on the weathering and putting all the fantastic details in place. The complete diorama so to speak.

Anyway, this is a FANTASTIC kit and I have to congratulate Brett for this one. All SW kits are great, but this one will end in my favorite top three.

So here is just an impression of where I am now. Nothing is completely finished, so just a little more patience please.. :) More pics will follow.

    I simply cannot tell the difference between your modeling and the real world! Always a great pleasure to see your postings. Thank you.

    Well, this is gonna be so much fun looking over Roberts shoulder as he creates his O'Neills diorama. Thanks for sharing with us. Great start. Love the weathering on the ribbed roofing and the subtle coloring on the doors and windows.

    Robert, your work is always inspirational. You put realism into every model. I am looking forward to seeing this one finished with all the details and little extras you put into every model!

    Really digging the blue tones you are using.....custom mix?....or a stock color?
  • Robert.GRobert.G
    Custom mix indeed. Several thin layers, like glazes. Light blue, broken white, and light grey are in the mix. And of course, the pigment powders. Mix of umber and black. But VERY little !!! Less is more. Don't want it to be artificial. And that goes for every use of the powders.

    As usual your work is excellent. Perfect coloring.
