Matt,that building is looking great,never heard about that German company.do you have a link to their site?Weathering and the look of that structure is fantastic and it catch the look of the prototype.Great work.
what size are those kork pieces you are using for your roadbed and also the roads?I use 5 mm and 3 mm thick kork.Would be nice to see how you build the streets...
Keep on with that great work,
Cheers,Chris
I use standard 5mm cork. Roadbed cork and 1 sq.ft.cork tiles are the same thickness. For road, I'll probably use painted and distressed cardstock à la Gordon Gravett. I've got nice results with it earlier this spring. You can see the results here:http://theendofsteel.blogspot.ca/
The german company is Schulcz. http://www.schulcz.de/international/web/za/home-za.html. The clear material doesn't come cheap. At less the sheet is quite huge (about 12" x 16").
The huge building is only a mock up. It is full of structural flaws that will prevent us to turn it into the final model. I still have to figure out how to build it in a way it is easy to handle. Dimensions are 14½" large x 42" long x 16" high. Weights a ton... That's the price to pay when you elect to not use selective compression!
