Just a few more close-up shots of both buildings.

Surface detail on the plaster building front.

Close-up of some surface detail in the foamboard.

This shows the finished foamboard building which took hardly any time at all when compared to the plaster version.

This is the finished building that I made in plaster and although I feel it looks good, The foamboard was definitely the right way to go.

Let's therefore start from the beginning which was when I made the two 1:9 scale buildings for my street set. This particular building detail was made in foamboard. This was the second of the buildings I made. The first is made from cast sheets of plaster which meant that the process was long and difficult and also meant the final result was very heavy. Using foamboard drastically reduced the build time and meant that the finished result was just as heavy as the MDF board underneath.

Wow! It has been a really long time since I set this blog up and still I have put nothing on it. I thought I would therefore rectify the problem by putting some pre-production photos up from my film, 'Lodz'. Hope you enjoy.
