Just took another look and I love the surface you use for the forested area. Another gaming mat?

more stuff ive just finished! i must admit im not keen on the mdf wagons they lack a certain weight even after painting and weathering, i think i will stick to metal! the house is a dead mans hand building i had to drybrush it a bit as i dont like the laser cut wood look, and also it might nullify the smell of smoked haddock these kits make!

More lovely brush-waving going on here, I see.
Very inspiring, Andy!

Not convinced by the new fangled 'painted MDF' stuff yet as I find the colours too cartoony.
Not a big fan of most MDF buildings, but I think they do work for Old West wooden structures.
Would rather colour them in myself, though.

I do want one of those 'under construction' houses, though, they are excellent.

Yeah, the pre-painted ones remind me of cell shaded graphics. The buildings themselves are lovely but ironically I'd rather buy them unpainted.

The pre-paints are a good start, I find.  If you don't like the 'soot' staining, it's easily wiped off with a damp cloth to leave a 'pristine' building.  And they're easy to 'improve' too, by painting in cut edges and adding weathering and additional details.

Also worth pointing out that the colours are quite a bit muted from how they appear in their store photos.  I've taken a black or sepia wash to a couple of them though to dumb them down.
