Since using the thin steel plate earlier with my buildings I have intended to try again because I really liked the effect it gives in sharp contrast to the wood. This is made with 'found' Oak from a bin in the 3D workshop, it was full of holes so I had to cut around them to see if I could salvage anything.
I loved the colour and the grain and began making high rise flats first then gentle little cottages, a church all softly curved. I then place them on the steel and voila, I liked the effect a lot. I then found some thin wire mesh, cut out a strip and placed it between the houses and left it there; it has a strong statement. To be honest it was the first time I had ever drilled though steel; all the buildings are secured with screws so I can turn them or move them around if I wish.
It is a definite progression in the right direction for me, mixing and experimenting with different materials.
