Hadley's Hope 1/350 scale

joeydee · Mar 31, 2021

Hi there,
this is my latest project, a small Hadley's Hope colony. Started 3 weeks ago.
I know, proportions are a little off (original buildings seem to be a bit wider in the middle section) and some of the details and smaller buildings are freestyle. But I'm trying to keep the allover layout and appearance of the studio model.

Side roof textures are based on Jan Rükr's North Lock paper model.

First building painted:

Thought about it, not for the first time

but I'm focussing on the colony buildings for now. Otherwise it would be a neverending project.
