It's clearly recognisable as VP, and sure, you could pick fault with aspects of it, but as I say, I had a blast making it. I got it from FOCO, but it's sold out now. Google BRXLZ Stadium and you'll see many Premier League grounds available. And yes Ingum, there are some stickers. Oddly, one wasn't required for the build, and says 'Villaajax woz ere'. Seeing that I have a vague recollection of some mad sod from this site creating VP in Minecraft - Was that you too @hogso? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was. Years ago, mind you, I haven't touched Minecraft in any sort of serious capacity for...well, at least 3 years. That was really good fun, although it became a complete obsession, changing bits here and there constantly, I never did fully finish it. Like the stadium above, it wasn't a proper representation of the ground - but it was recognisable as VP. I actually did finish the North Stand, including the interior, that being the easiest stand to complete. I'd like to give it a another go at some point, although I'd like to do so with some proper plans of the stadium, or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just finished watching a video of the latter. I really like the way Chris does his videos, seems like a cool guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 13, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2021 This has taken about 2 solid days to get off the sprues and snapped together. Worth it though. Now it can sit on a shelf until I'm ready to even attempt painting it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its built from wood and over 2 ft long. Now to paint it. I haven't done any serious model painting since I was a kid. Does anyone have any hints, tips or recommendations for painting? My initial thought was to paint it a medium grey all over, wash a thinned dark grey into the lines and shadows and dry brush a lighter grey onto highlights. Would that work? Although its not visible on this photo I have painter the interior of the end towers with a whitewash. It looks good. I decided to use the excess paint as an undercoat. This is the white you can see. Is it worth undercoating? Any help gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything I’ve learnt from YouTube it’s to cover it in grey paint, put a black wash over it, use summat called modge podge, cover it in statically charged green flock and glue loads of cut up coffee stirrers all over it. Ta Da! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 24, 2021 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2021 If I ever get half as good as this bloke at the gunpla game, I'll be doing well. And he's not THAT good compared to some. But **** he's talented. The scribing work and plaplating is awesome, techniques that I barely even touch as it scares the **** out of me, and then he just casually knocks out a scratch built accessory for 1/60 scale model. Just great stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the key will be sealing the model so the paint doesn't affect the wood. Eric's Hobby Workshop has some brilliant builds and covers how he seals his models and paints them at the end of his videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
