Hello
Good to be back at the desk after a long absence due to reorganisation of my hobby room.
The first project on my desk is an another wooden house project in 1/35 scale, I dont know why but these projects really appel to me and I find them really enjoyable and a fresh change from my usually military projects.
Like my previous house build the scene is not set when starting the project but it will be a scene from a back yard, maybe in Norway? , the story for the scene will hopefully evolve as the project goes on.
Some in progress pics

Wow ;D Look's really great.
Congratulations on this truly unique model Per Olav.
I would like to know more about the construction and the materials used.
I very much like how the composition draws the viewer into the diorama. And, yes, please tell us more about how you built it, weathering and painting techniques, and materials. -- Russ
Wow!! Great modeling, and a really attractive little scene!
Colour, texture, angles, interesting...its all there. Thats a pretty moody and stuning capture in that little courtyard that has been growing and growing. I want to see it grow some more. Very much looking forward to some further detailing of this one. Just superb work, thanks for the update.
Cheers,
Dan
Wonderful stuff. I can almost smell the dampness and mold.
Very nice, stunning modeling!
Obviously more than one lunchtime's work there then!!!!!
Great modeling and wonderful composition of that courtyard scene ... kinda begs for a little activity there ... wonder what's coming next? ??? ;D -- Dallas
great work

Russ,
The wooden parts is made using basswood strips. The base colour is different greyish AK washes to get an old wood look. The green and white color is Ranger crackle paint, known to most of you by now :)
The strips are glued to thin veneer wich is slightly bent to obtain an old and weary look.
The tiles are from the Juuvela range, crisp and nice tiles made from plastic. Painted using different Vallejo colors.
The concrete on the ground and the cement part of the right hand building is made from Sibatrol a very nice product for making this kind of material. Easy to sand and cut and a perfect scale structure.
The concrete wall on the left is made in two parts to make the transport (cabin baggage size :)) easier. The main structure of the wall is made from plastic plates covered with car body filler to simulate the concrete. Thewall is painted with acrylics and weathered using different AK washes.
The tobacco comercial is airbrushed on using a mask made of thin plastic, I made the mask at my work using an engraving machine cutting out the pattern.
The glass in the windows is thin microscope glass, perfect for this scale.
Ok, this is some of the material used, probably forgotten many but please feel free to ask about any questions regarding the project.
I'll keep you updated :)
Per Olav
Oh, if that's all it takes then I probably will be able to do an equally good job in hour or two. Of course there's also that little matter of talent .... -- Russ
Truly stunning. Wonderful diversity of materials and textures. Great color pallette. Very creative scene and composition....
.as always. Makes me wonder why I should continue torturing myself in this hobby.....
Am curious what the Sibatrol is.....did a google search and came up with nothing. Is it like what I know as Cibatool or Renshape?
Really rather good! ... I've been trying to put something together like this for about the last two years. Nothing like it and nowhere near, very frustrating.
I'm liking the asymmetrical composition, and as mentioned the rather eclectic assembly of textures, materials and surfaces: colours are particularly believable too.
If I have one criticism (dare I?) - it is rather one of mood. Whilst you have captured a genuine sense of atmosphere it does look rather dank and miserable. You feel if you were to be standing there you would shudder, turn up your collar and look for an excuse to leave - admirable, but not very conducive to a happy feel-good moment.
I guess it all depends on how you're going to populate it and the story you're about to tell??
Other than that small matter - Huzzahs from me.
Stunning work as always. Could you possibly show some pics of the interior of middle building.
I love dank and miserable !! Lovely workmanship keep it happening Its got "true atmosphere"
Barney the miserable
Wow, this has grown a lot! Looking good.
I just love it.
Is it a work of imagination or is there a prototype for it?
I am also curious about where to buy Sibatrol.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Marc you are right, the correct name is Cibatool.
Andi, I'm curious too about the story I am going to tell, not decided yet... ;) I think the pictures are a little darker than the piece is in real.
Håvard, I got a bag of Cibatool cut offs when I was visiting an art school in Oslo but I think its possible to get it from different special shops..
The main isnspiration came from this picture..

Hello
Some progress on the project. More details added and the first figure(missing one dog though) in place.
Most of the building details is done and a couple of figures are still on the bench, an old Opel will be placed in the garage too,

great figure the whole scene is really good lovely shading of colours
kind regards kim
Only the figures give away the photos as a model (as is inevitable in any scale). Most satisfactory. -- Russ
Absolutely fantastic - Great modelling, great paintwork - Excellent narrative.
A truly envious piece of craftsmanship - bloody well done sir.
If you had signed the bottom right corner of the photo it could have passed as a painting. Wonderful eye for detail.
A superb model with a difference and lovely bit of inspiration.
Barney
Beautiful! That figure is wonderfully posed and painted (and the little dogs, too). I like the different types of paving as well.
Everyone has already given my sentiments. Wonderful modeling.
Brilliant. A fantastic number of different textures and colours. Those figures tell a cool little story as well. Will be busy studying the scene for a while longer yet.
Cheers,
Dan
Great stuff. I love all the different surfaces and textures.
wonderful scene I especially like the ground work.
