Victorian Buildings for reference

Hi Chaps,

Often without thinking I will take my camera out whilst shopping or paying bills to capture little bits of Victorian England for my own files. It may be of use to any gamers out there who play IHMN or indeed any other system to have a quick look at our sometimes crumbling and sadly usually unappreciated Victorian buildings.







As you can see you could justifiably create any building you want. It could be a plain Jane brick and stone affair or you could start throwing fanciful stone edges and arches all over it....just think what Elton John would like and you can't go wrong.

I have some factory pics to dig out but they are pretty depressing-I have first hand experience of working in one of those soul sapping holes so I will wait for a while before I even bother looking.

Have a good weekend Chaps, keep blogging, keep painting and enjoy.

  1. The buildings I've made from the muck collection at some point will need some modification so you've just given me a great idea as I can take my camera out. Take photos of what I would like to add to my paper builds straight on and cut and crop to size print out and use....

    1. You have some useful skills Damon! I use cheap white extruded stryene from ebay to make a building and then scribe in or stick on details....but photo's would be easier!

  3. Nice project. I like looking at the ghost of the structure within the walls.

  6. Interesting photos. It reminds me of a book I bought years ago called "History on your Doorstep." Plenty of evidence of past usage there.

    1. I think I read that book AJ...a copy maybe in my local library. History is everywhere here in the UK we are spoiled for choice.
