Resin Ruins - Knock, Knock, Let Me In...


Having spent a bit of time looking at the building I found myself imagining what had happened to it to cause the damage. 

A Door!
The ruin also had a hole where the doorway should have been, this got my thinking this is where there could have been a large calibre weapon strike that literally blew the door from its hinges...

The model kit did come with doors but as with the walls they were only cast one one side, so rather than messing around trying to sculpt the rear of the door I decided to bite the bullet and just make my own!

The door was a fairly simple affair, 4 layers on 1mm plasticard cut to fit the gap I had, rivets were then added (thin slices of round plasticard tubing) and presto, one door.

Destroyed Door!
Once the door was built I then had the job of destroying it. I drilled a hole through to simulate the weapon strike and then using clippers bent the door to show the impact. A few small small arms damage marks courtesy of my pin vice and small drill-bit and one blown in door was finished!

And people say I spend too much time on things!
