I recently came across this modeller/artist. Although French he has a book published…….I treated myself to the book as a Christmas present albeit in German………with my fluent Dutch, 1 year of latin and Google (mmmmm) Translate it is an interesting book if buildings are your forte. Much of his work is 4mm scale.
A couple of links of his work……

Re: Food for thought on weathered buildings
There are also http://www.militarymodelling.com/news/article/make-it-real-part-1/4083. The link to part 2 is at the bottom of the page. Each picture has links beneath it to other pictures; you can either click on the links or hover the cursor over them to see the other pictures.
A Google search on his name will produce other links. He is undoubtedly a gifted artist, but he uses techniques primarily designed to create models of derelict buildings, or their remains, which may need modification for other people's needs. His approach to replicating the look of old wood which has lost virtually all of its paint is interesting if you model RCH minerals in BR days, but does take time, and practice.

Bloomin' 'ell. Really impressive stuff.
The rendering effect fallijg off the bricks, the concrete road and the buggered banger scene really are inspiring. Thanks for posting these.

An inspirational blog; I wonder, what is the sheet material he is using for the building walls?

Re: Food for thought on weathered buildings
I've always been a huge admirer of Emmanuel Nouaillier's work. This is true artistry.
The buildings he models are run down and scruffy, but models of English buildings tend to err the other way, and often look too neat and tidy.
If you look carefully at old photos, and indeed at some buildings you can still see nowadays, we have had our fair share of buildings in this country that are not in the best state of repair and decoration. It's worth trying to capture that appearance, rather than trying to create a 'perfect' world in miniature.

The interesting* thing is, feather board (carton plume) is horrendously expensive here in France, so I get mine sent from UK and accept the bent corners. Emmanuel must be not only talented but also pretty well-heeled ...
* on reflection maybe that should be 'frustrating'!

Some us can only do urban grim Martin. I doubt I could do perfect even if I tried!
