Blown out building. Finished....for now. 11/7

From small stairway to GIANT blown out building...lol

We going BIG! This was a wall I started last year and my window measurement was off. So I decided to rip it apart, and inspiration struck.







Two floors of blown out madness!! This is going to be fun!

I sure did like your little stairway. It looked real. Can't wait to see what you do with this one. Off to share the start.

Starting work in on floor two. Yes, the side windows are lower, much like an addition was added on at some point. Lots of cleaning up to do on the sills. Will be doing floor joists and wooden flooring upstairs.









I think this might turn into a blown out warehouse. I was thinking of making it a house, but it's too massive, and a warehouse would explain higher windows on the street side and lower on the sides. Plus, the walls can stay messy and I can leave exposed wall beams :)

Really?? LOL. I took me two damn hours to figure out how I wanted to do the floor. I guess if I could charge by the hour, I'd be a millionaire! :) Thanks for the always kind words!

Working on a plywood simulated first floor, and old school wood beam second. Everything is just tacked for the minute. I need more flooring to finish off first floor.









Sorry about the Photobucket links, it's down right now.

Thanks as always for the kind words!

So, I tried my hand at coffee staining (first picture), but it wasn't dark enough, so I went with my normal stain. Then I inserted like 50 pins to simulate nails, cut the points off through the bottom of the styro, and then painted each head. I then doused it with my homemade "ash" and may have went overboard. I mean, it's going to be a blown out building, but I feel I kinda ruined all my stain work...lol. Oh well, we'll see.

Thanks a lot Hemble! Means much coming from a master such as yourself!

 I started on the second floor. I decided to make the whole floor part attachable by magnets to the beams. So basically the big floor beams, and wall beams will all be one piece, and the support beams will attach via magnet. At last that's the plan so far..lol. Some adjustments required. Took a couple Punisher shots as well.

Started throwing around some cracks tonight. Didn't want to overdo it, and some I need to fix up a bit, but I am liking it. Decided to rip out the middle window altogether so that I can have characters crawling/peeking in through the big hole. Also started the second floor.....floor...lol. I was going to go with 10 foot (inch) beams, but quickly decided that it would be too much wood to purchase as they come in 36 inch long pieces (meaning 3 boards per 36 inch piece). I then decided to start messing around with all sizes to simulate broken/missing flooring, and found this look much more appealing!
