Here are some more shots of houses made from the same parts pictured in the last posting. The little shed is from my 1/4" scale Bordello. There is so much that can be done with those parts. All you need is a little imagination and some reference photos. Oh yes, and glue!
The only new part is the large stone foundation cast in plaster. Heavy stone or concrete foundations indicated that the resident of the property also owned it. Others usually were help up on piers or wooden posts so they could easily be moved.
The bright colors are muted a little by the use of a thin brown wash overall. The single house will have about half of the foundation buried in the rear. The Rum Shop will have signs plastered all over and a simple interior to be viewed through the open doors. I plan on one further house and then to combine all into a small block diorama with full, lush scenery and so on.
These basic castings can also be used for "American" structures as well. Simple houses, sheds and shacks. Even a small dog trot home! For those of you modeling an island railway in 1/4", this might just be what you need! All single castings or window groups are $5.00 each plus post.
