My dear hobby friends,
after a long absence in our Hobby and in this Forum,
I would like to introduce you to my new project.
It is a part of the film "She wore a yellow ribbon" (in German "Der Teufelshauptmann")
I love this movie, with John Wayne, since my childhood and the so heroically shown us cavalrymen.
After some search on the internet, I quickly found something.
Because the building which served as a movie set,
is still to be seen in the US at Goulding's Lodge (Monument Valley).
I wanted to play as much as possible a scene from the beginning of the film ...
Captain Brittles is on his way to the morning inspection when the hijacked stagecoach arrives ...
... this should look something like this.
I started with the construction of the buildings.
These were all made from 3mm hard foam and veneer remnants.
First, the main building - the home of Captain Nathan Brittles ...
Then the shed came to the left of the main building ...
and finally the shelter or shed ...
Since I had no pictures of the roof of this building,
I decided for a mixture of wooden shingles,
old tarpaulins and weathered corrugated iron.
New territory was for me especially the representation of the grate.
For this I made myself rust and then applied with diluted white glue.
Next, I will deal with the necessary design details and equipment .
... a palisade to the Paddocks
... various transport and storage boxes
... cereals and feed bags
... a rocking chair
...the wheelbarrow
... an old entrance door
... the bank in front of the accommodation
... a kerosene lamp
Greetings
Egbert
