patrick duclou miniatures 2016 patrick duclou miniatures a blog about my new hobby 1 12 miniature settings reward thursday october 27 2016 the exterior of the hotel mame the building of the hotel mame is now finished and i can show you the last pictures i took the chimneys the building has 4 chimneys in total but i only did two as my building only represents half of the contruction the metal parts are supposed to maintain the structure i got them from arjen in holland he also cut the beautiful grids that ornate the windows the decorations above the windows were made using a mold i got from mastermolds on etsy i think they are used to decorate cakes i transformed the original shape a liitle bit to fit on the windows on each side of the door there are two lanterns they are made of cardboard and i added some gold elements to match the style of the xviiith century i used acrylics and water colours to weather the facade finally i mixed sand and wood glue and covered the floor around the house when it s dry sweep the excess sand i think it matches the building quite well now it s time for a cup of tea and scones the house at nightfall the same on a sunny day another angle i have now to think about the interior thanks for all your comments i try to reply to everyone but sorry if i am a little bit late talk to you soon posted by latest news and recent projects at 9 56 pm 14 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday october 20 2016 l hotel mame i have been working on the hotel mame for 2 months now and i can share the last improvements with you first weathering although the original building was made of tuffeau a chalky white stone from the loire valley i decided to give my project a different shade as a matter of fact i tried the tuffeau look my building looked new like an architect model so after spending 5 hours doing the first layer i started it all over again this time i added yellow ochre it gives it a southern of france flavour it reminds me of the hotels particuliers elegant houses passed from generations to generations in bordeaux or aix en provence building the roof was another challenge because of the size the building is large about 135 cm wide so as i used original drawings for the roof a la mansart the height of the roof in the middle is 40 cm so the roof is both impressive and heavy i had to build a structure beneath to support it below is a sketch of a toit a la mansart as my project only represents 1 2 of the building so does the roof after hours fighting with it i managed to finish the roof and starting cutting cardboard slates hundreds of them it took for ever before i had enough i did it while watching the british series about victoria on tv i should say listenenig as watching and cutting was not easy i glued them and added the 4 windows on the roof it was time now to work on the details and i built the chimneys from the pictures i had stones and bricks together very pretty actually there are 4 chimneys but 2 look enough maybe one day i ll build the back part of the house then there will be 8 windows on the roof and 4 chimneys last weekend i spent both days working on the floor of the hallway i used tiles created by henry bart a french artist his tiles are just amazing made from stone powder i guess it is a long process but the result is fabulous you just grout them like real tiles and when it s dry apply some wax it has the look and the smell of real tiled floors give it a try here is the result i can t wait to start working on the interior i built the two lanterns on each side of the door and chose to add some golden elements after checking pictures on the internet i may do them again but we ll see with time the garden urns are typically french they are made in anduze in the south of france they are called vases d anduze the ones i show here were made by french artist elizabeth causeret but unfortunately she doesn t have a website now i need to finish the sides weather them and start working on the inside i have had the chance to contact alison davies who is a british artist who creates the most beautiful french furniture you can imagine i think she has started recently to manufacture and sell her pieces but i can tell you the pieces are amazingly realistic here are two examples of her work aren t they beautiful i can t wait to build the rooms to to acquire and display them the great news is that madelva has published pictures of my house rue du college in this october s issue of miniaturas the spanish magazine she is very kind and supportive to give me an opportunity to share my work with other people worldwide thank you madelva to finish today s post a picture i like as you know i live with my 3 cats now that mimine has passed away and my miniature projects inclue some animals thailand has just lost its king people are sad everyone here wears black to show their grief as a teacher i ll wear black clothes for one year like all government officers in the country he was a great king who had always his people in mind and improved the lives of many people here especially farmers he loved animals too as you can see and was often photographed with dogs he had rescued have a great day posted by latest news and recent projects at 5 25 am 40 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday september 9 2016 rue du college the interior do you remember my last project rue du college well i have wallpapered and furnished the rooms nothing luxurious but the atmosphere of a comfortable house in 1900 wallpapers are original i put my printer to work and it worked well the paper is pasted on future board so it s easible removeable nothing adheres to the wall view from the outside at night voici lle petit salon the parents bedroom no curtains yet the hallway the dining room partially furnished la bibliotheque working on the painting of the house acrylic and oil then little by little it becomes to look real at night the facade opens in 2 3 1 3 have a great and relaxing weekend r i p mimine has been a great companion for years she has now crossed the rainbow bridge and is no longer supporting me in my periods of doubts i am sure she s in peace now i miss her jj and fifi are here to fill the emptiness and tiger doesn t like it when he sees a box they are all cats i rescued and they are very attached to me i ll never go anywhere without them posted by latest news and recent projects at 6 05 am 24 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest l hotel mame a tours hello i ve been quite silent lately but i have started working on a new project called l hotel mame in french the word hotel may apply to a private house as long as it is a big elegant house we even say hotels particuliers for swanky residences in paris lyon or bordeaux anyway l hotel mame was built in 1768 for gilles lefevre de montifray a rich merchant so it s an example of an xviiith century construction with a classic architecture i decided to build the backside because it is more elegant than the front side overlooking the garden when i was in tours at christmas i took some pictures and some measures with the owner s agreement she was delighted to hear about my hobby first let me tell you that although it is a 1 12 replica it s big it s huge i couldn t imagined it would be such a big project but it s been a pleasure to build as the architecture is so elegant i am halfway now the facade i almost done and i am working on the sides now next the roof then the painting and weathering the picture below shows the project done with galad a software program the house has two floors a large hallway two salons downstairs with fireplaces very high windows and high ceilings the windows on the right side of the house have grids balconies and railings for every window i did all the moldings with the router the balcony railings are brass processed by chemical etching the window grids are laser cut made by arjen spinhoven i met at the simp who did an excellent work the ground floor the right part of the ground floor the 6 windows for the roof are ready i hope you will like my project more pictures soon i am also working on a new order a ladure macaron shop posted by latest news and recent projects at 5 29 am 17 comments email this
