A CABANA DE MARK TWAIN / THE WRITING HUT OF MARK TWAIN

PAPERMODEL / 1/48

DESIGNER CHYP FINN from FIDDLERSGREEN

Acho o estilo gráfico dos modelos de Chyp Fiin, que infelizmente. O seu sentido de humor transparece nos seus modelos.

O autor do modelo avisa que cometeu um erro no desenho. A cabana é octogonal e ele desenhou-a hexagonal. Para mim mantém o encanto e é uma boa representação do original.
Decidi dar relevo ao modelo, laminando várias camada, abri os vãos, imprimi em acetato os caixilhos das janelas e construi um interior rudimentar baseado em fotos dacabana original. A cabana de Mark Twain quase que escondida entre mato. Usei flocagem de modelismo ferroviário para dar essa sensação de estar envolvida por mato.

I love the graphic style of the late Chyp Finn. His sense of humour is present in the cartoon style he uses in his models.

The author acknowledges that he made a mistake with this model. The hut is octagonal and he designed it hexagonal. Nevertheless it captures well the look of Mark Twain’s writing hut.
I felt for adding extra details; laminated some parts to add volume, opened the windows, installed glazing made with acetate and built a rudimentary interior based on photos of the real thing. The hut was surrounded by bushes. I represented them with flocage used in  model railway.     

 

Today I got e-mail form fiddlersgreen where is on offer to subscriber this hut. I remenbred the photo of my finished work I sent to Chyp Finn and the personal note he wrote. 

In memorian of Chyp Finn
