Image all gridded up ready to go.. It seemed a simple idea - paint over the fat trees, plot the crosspoints on the container, sketch in the basic shapes and then fill in the details....Only 3 colours to be used.....
I'm not sure I know what I'm looking at. Is this the painted containers or your plans for the project?
I've seen some photos on Instagram of shipping containers that have been welded together, framed and turned into beautiful homes.
I just wonder, how long does it take to get past the idea that your living inside a shipping container, no matter how beautiful it might look?
@skipt07 Hi Skip. That's the photo that we're going to try to recreate. I've removed some of the details of the original and added the grid to try to make it easier to duplicate. Well - that's the plan anyway!
We've actually been to a winery where the tasting rooms were created from 5 containers. It was all insulated and lined, had huge windows cut into it and was constructed to have two levels - with all the rooms having incredible views. It was remarkable. Not easy to do though - or cheap!
Cheers Rob
It’s all about preparation and planning looks like your well setup for a wonderfully painted sea container Rob, possibly the best in the Southern Hemisphere :)
I'm looking forward to see how it turned out. Seems like you did it the right way to me-- that's how most set designers paint scenery and how artists paint billboards. So the approach is a good one.
Let's just say - "the best ideas of mice and men"! It sort of worked! Thanks for all of your lovely thoughts and good wishes. It made the whole thing lots of fun. And, the container does look a bit better and has a new coat of protective paint. Still needs some improvement though - to say the least. I've posted the final result today.
