The 'unlikely shed' is being installed today with the steps to the platform the only thing to finish. This is the unpainted platform which has since been grotty'ed somewhat. The whole edifice jars a little, but with the obvious lack of front to back space as the controlling factor, set against the need for some sort of vertical feature to break up the plain and immediate backscene. The reality of the whole picture at this end is simply a short length of track to mask the storage area. In 4mm this could be fully developed; here in 7mm the space is only a little over an inch in front of the track and little more than three behind - compromised have to be made. That said, on modelling terms it's not been an unpleasant exercise. Essentially here and in other areas there is just some infill ground cover to do and some smaller platform items to finish off. At that point, the major questions arise.
It's a nice structure. But if you think it's too stark in that position, you could consider putting a small tree or overgrown bushes to the left side of it to soften the outline. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteAdd hedges, trees and loads more static grass.
ReplyDeleteSwap the platform for a brick base or brick pillars might soften the look a little?
ReplyDeleteHi , the three comments above would "cover" it. The only thing I would be tempted to do would be to add some scrub and a delapidated wooden rail fence along thefront edge. Nothing to focus on, just bring attention away from the very back?
ReplyDeleteI would be tempted tor reduce the platform to a simple timber or brick pillar support for the shed, bring it forward a little and then model some vegetation behind it. I love the shed itself, it is the platform that seems a little unlikely.
