His family musta changed it from O'Kapuscinski when they immigrated ...

a-ha moment on how to model it or that it is in fact  a concrete panel?  i see plenty of warehouse's made of concrete panels with designs or textures in them.

I'm hijacking my own thread back?... On how to model it. I've seen plenty of concrete paneled warehouses as well, but never one with a framed design quite like that. It's kinda fancy... compared to what I have seen. The questionable part is that the textured part would have to be on the same plane as the frame part to get the effect right, so sand on top of styrene is kinda ruled out. So I am thinking two thicknesses of styrene, a thinner panel covered with sand framed by a thicker strip, lots of chopper time...

What about using a stiff brush to stipple on a thin rough coat of filler putty? Just mask off the smooth parts, before you put the putty on.

What about using strip styrene to build a "picture frame" and use coarse sandpaper as the pebbled surface?
Same idea as using brick in a concrete frame...


Like the panels below the windows in this here pixture from Ease Bawlamer.

Once assembled, shoot the whole mess with a taupe concrete color.

Good idea Lee, thanks. I was afraid the sand, once adhered to a sheet of styrene, might crack an dchip as I cut it down into panels. The sandpaper idea is more flexible and gosh only knows I got plenty of it lying around from my brother's old bodyshop.

Ah, but how will you emboss the Yuengling Eagle in the side?

In case anyones interested, the History Channel did a good show on brewing in the U.S.   Some good shots of inside and outside breweries and the history of beer in the U.S.  they replay it often and is worth viewing.

if you are so inclined, there are many good brewery tours complete with "sampling" the fine products before, during, and after said tours.

i like the sandpaper idea - the trick will be painting it with an even coat that does not fill in the fine detail.

I was thinking of using a low-numbered grit, so wthe texture wouldn't be so fine beofre painting, and would "become finer" (actually smoother) after paint.

What eagle? I didn't see any eagles in the shots of the new brewery. Do you know something I don't? I could always just change the name of the brewery, and punt the eagle out. Maybe replace it with a corvid - the fall back Baltimore solution.

Look above the second covered hopper...

After looking at that photo again, I realized you could probably get that effect by just masking off some sections and making sure to hit the panels with a HEAVY coat of dullcote.

You could have hit me with a 2x4 there. I never noticed it. Or, I never saw it. I knew it had been years since my last eye exam but...I just thought the constantly lowering light of the bar was what was making it more difficult to read. Needless to say, I had my eyes examined today, and the choice was bifocals or two pairs of glasses. Vainly, I chose the second.

The only way I can think of to do the bird is to cast multiples of a single panel, and use them to create a solid wall mold, into which a styrene cut-out of the chicken in question is laid, and a master cast of the complete wall. Eke. I'm thinking it would be easier to change the name of the beer company and go with a sign or 3D lettering... Maybe Cardinal Malt Liquor?
