Looking brilliant! The vegetation is going to totally make that pop.

Thanks DtD though I have to confess that after debate with (meaning advice from) LAF gaming buddies (Malamute, Dr De’Ath, Elk101 and OshiroMT) I have added more paint!

Essentially a wash of dilute 60% Flat Earth / 40% Yellow Green that was worked especially heavily into the run points, corners and lower courses, then the highlight colour very lightly drybrushed to the tops, upper courses and edges.


A very good choice, breaks the monotony and helps the eye to jump here and there and enjoy little details, your structure has too many to offer!
Eager to see you finishing the vegetation! Cheers!
P.S. And, of course, all this procedure is a very useful tutorial, thanks!

The ivy looks great. And I imagine it is helping reinforce the structure some too!

Thanks all.

It’s no trouble doing the step-by-step as I need to have a record for other pieces I want to make.  ;)

The ivy doesn’t really add to the integrity of the structure (which is pretty sound) as it’s just tacked on with dots and/or smears of UHU. It’s quite a fiddly thing to do, as it involves tearing off a bit of ivy then getting the minimum amount of glue in the right place. Thus the leaves that work loose.  :)

I thought the leaves that worked loose were giant rat poos. ;)
The placement of them look very natural (the ivy that is, not the rat poo).
