Magnum guest house in scale

#1 Post by latinglory »

Hello Friends,

I tell you that a couple of years ago I started a project that I had in my head for a long time, which was to make a scale model of Robin Master's guest house, occupied by our friend Thomas Sullivan Magnum,
I was thinking of making it in 1/24 scale, but when I finished the plans I realized that it was very big, so I reduced it to a 1/35 scale,
It was a very difficult project but also a lot of fun. because it was necessary to join the interior of the house (a filming set) with the exterior (a boat house).
With several additional problems
Windows and doors that were in one of them and not in the other. and most worrying, was the front of the house, where Magnum's bedroom windows should be, overlooking the sea (with grass and trees in between).
So I had to make some changes to the exterior of the house (a boat house) but always maintaining the architectural line of it, and most importantly,
Making it habitable and according to what it would have been if it had really existed.
that's why always, absolutely always.......
The interior (film set) has priority over the exterior (a boat house).
How to solve it ??
Easy……
Modify the front of the house transforming it into a porch, as do the rest of the buildings in the Robin's nest.
It is not perfect, it has some errors, but surely both Robin Master and Magnum himself would have preferred it to the original. (jajajajaja).
Now the hardest part......
Start building it !!

I leave you a greeting.....

and forgive my bad English !!
