This may be the most sophisticated scale model I made to date.
It is based on photographs of a historic gas station in Chemnitz, Germany; it is my first build featuring this type of corner windows; and it is my first building with curved elements.
It’s also the first time I decided on a white façade because I imagined I would use the model in a high key photo, having the window frames pop out. However, since all my buildings come with built-in lighting lately, the structure also lends itself to night shots.
Sice these photos heavily rely on the use of shadow, this is my entry for this week’s lens-artists photo challenge.
Here are some photos documenting the building process – a glance behind the scenes:
