"Texture skin buildings" Topic

Hello all, my latest project has been working with texture skins to make 3D effect buildings in 1/100 scale, I hope you enjoy. I realise that some of the brickworks are quite out of scale but nothing that can't be sorted.

nice job

Hi trenchfoot,

I think those textures look good. I'm also interested in building and texturing cardboard or paper models. I believe there's a lot of potential in developing this. I print the textures on card stock and glue them to foam board to make houses, towers, chateaux, etc. Getting good photos to make the textures is challenging.

Cheers!

Hi Gallo, have you tried textures.com this is my main source of material and its free

I used this site several years ago to obtain textures to clad some paper mache buildings I bought from Michael's.

textures.com

They have a plethora of different textures.

Edit: I see that you already found this site.

Hey trenchfoot, ColCampbell,

Thanks for the link. Lots of goodies there! I'm interested in stonework as I would like to make a Thirty Years War period German Schloss (a small one) in 15mm / 1/100th scale.

Cheers!

Another great source of building (and other) textures is 3D computer games (if you happen to have any, of course …)

That really is very good. Think my British would enjoy storming those houses.

Works pretty darn well at least from the angles you've taken the photos!

Nice!

those look amazing- I have a question – do they have actual texture like embossed sheets or are they smooth?

Hi Peter they are printed on paper and stuck on to foamboard, the only actual texture is the recessed windows and ivy.
