Blackmore's Quay
Part of 'The Purple Line'
< Back to 'The Purple Line'
Blackmore's Quay, named after guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, is
a harbourside scene. There is a fishing wharf with warehouses,
small painted cottages, a market area and a pub named the
Rainbow Rising, one of Blackmore's finest albums!
There is a single line of track and behind that a row of
shops and an auto-repair garage.
As well as the obvious Blackmore naming there are many other
band mentions along with a warehouse named 'A-200 Fisheries' with
a tag line of 'Smoked On The Water'!
The terrace house/shops are a Metcalfe kit amended for the
shop fronts. The warehouses are barns turned against each other
to avoid the barn doors showing. The auto-repairers is a
scalescenes kit download, and the first time I've attempted one.
All the other buildings are designed and built from scratch.
The boats came from a trinket shop in Cadgwith Cove,
Cornwall.
The water was created using toilet paper and lots of PVA,
then emulsion paint and many layers of yacht varnish.
