Any suggestion...First, glad you enjoyed the build. Any suggestions are quite welcome!<br /><br />The signs were printed "clean" and I washed/weathered them. They were just found on the internet or created in word/excel. Nothing special.<br /><br />I like the idea of the roll-down security doors. I hadn't thought of those, they would make a nice addition. I will play around with those and see what I can come up with.<br /><br />The boards over the windows, I know what you mean. Originally I had them on the inside, as if people had boarded up from the inside. However, this didn't look very good (IMO) and so i moved them to the outside. Think of it as an ascetic choice, rather than making the building look realistic.<br /><br />Thanks again for the suggestions!Nobody667https://www.blogger.com/profile/12619766374150489698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319272600819321077.post-65291806526459023172014-09-01T16:02:52.582-07:002014-09-01T16:02:52.582-07:00Wow, what a great re purpose / conversion :D
I thi...Wow, what a great re purpose / conversion :D<br />I think the rubble really does help to stop it looking anything like an old plastic set. And the sign and pictures are really great too. Did they print off clean and you washed over / weathered them or were they printed old and dirty?<br /><br />I would be exceptionally proud of this as it is. But as I always find it is easier to critique someone else's hard work than it ever is to come up with improvements to my own work, or find my own mistakes, I have a couple of "polishing" suggestions too, if you don't mind :)<br /><br />If you wanted to, you could fill the top quarter of the doors with those metal "pull down security doors" to make it look like they've been rolled up high enough for people to enter and investigate. This would be a good way of stopping the doorways from looking a little out of scale as those types of roll down security shutters are normally used for doorways that are bigger than a standard sized door..<br /><br />Also, I think the upper windows would look better if the planks were on the inside? People would naturally board the upper levels from the inside as it's easier to get to them that way, unless of course it wasn't boarded up for security but to prevent infected from getting out...? :D (maybe this building was chosen to house the infected as the lower levels had security shutters that could be sealed?) :DAndSomeDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11271836022528963468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319272600819321077.post-79142988104540836132014-06-16T20:06:38.983-07:002014-06-16T20:06:38.983-07:00Thank you very much!Thank you very much!Nobody667https://www.blogger.com/profile/12619766374150489698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319272600819321077.post-81074715037107718012014-06-16T20:06:25.326-07:002014-06-16T20:06:25.326-07:00Should be used soon.
