Alcatraz Prison
Hello every body how you doing.
I have a project I've been thinking of doing for while it in value Alcatraz prison the set is cell blocks B and C when I went to scale them last night at 1/6 scale it came out to a length of 25 feet and workshop is not that long. What scale would you recommend. Here a pic of the layout of the prison

Re: Alcatraz Prison
Maybe try building 4 or 5 cells in a row and make each cell detachable, using a little bit of photo magic, you could then make a corridor of cells as big as you wanted by moving the end cell to the front. Kind of like using logs as wheels for a box, you have to move the last log to the front, after the box clears it.
Hope this helps mate.

Try 1:12 scale. This is the scale of doll's houses, and you can get hold of a lot of miscellaneous props and stuff at this scale, which can save a lot of time. A six foot figure would still be six inches tall, which I think is quite reasonable as far as detail goes. My two pennies...
