I don't usually post photos of these until they are finished, but thought it might make a change to see them just based and ready to paint.

nice work! I especially like the care you bring to your door. and I shed a tear as teddy bear who now serves as a roof lol lol
-
Wow,that looks absolut realistic!! :o :o.
Is this plaster??

No its household filler, polyfilla is the UK brand name, I think in the USA it is referred to as Spackle?
-
I agree with Hombre :o
When will you do a "This is my whole community with every angle photographed"-thread? ;)

I really like your way of painting these.
I am sure I have asked before but can you give us a quick run through on how you do it please.

The thatch has come out really well. 8)

Base coat over the whole model inc ground with Humbrol Matt Sand 63 or similar.
Raw umber artists acrylic wash around the bottom of the building, where the walls meet the earth and also wash the ground too, especially where there are doorways and gates with the same paint, but more diluted.
Heavy wetbrush of GW Bleached bone or similar shade around the top of the walls gradually working down towards the base with the brush getting dryer until slight drybrush near base of wall, leaving some of the sand colour and the umber wash at the base showing. The effect should give the impression of the colours getting lighter towards the top of the house.
Next wetbrush white around the roof moving downwards as before, but leaving more of the Bleached Bone colour showing.
When all dry drybrush base with off white shade.
Paint doors and all exposed timbers with wash of raw umber, quiet diluted so the grain of the balsa shows through. The less water you add the darker the paint will dry. Drybrush with Bleached Bone or similar.

Bloody lovely old chap! :-*

You cant go wrong with a bit of exposed thatch.
-
...wetbrush?

Opposite of drybrush lol
Load the brush with a heavy dollop of paint.
-
Superb. :-*
I hope the inhabitants can see in the dark though! ;)
-
Opposite of drybrush lol
Genius.

Very nicely done young sir. I really like the gradual change in colour on the walls.
cheers

Yep, one of those bizarre things you read about is the lack of windows. Built that way for safety from indian attacks etc.
-
Excellent!!!! :o
At the moment I am playing Red Dead Redemption on PS3 and the guys who made it must have stolen their textures from pics of your buildings ... they look exactly the same ... and they look most fantastic! :-*
More please ... ;D ;D ;D

You could add some handy dice modifiers here: -1 for stubbed toe, -2 for chair in unexpected place...

i LOVE the painting! :-*
-
Very well done,Sir ;)
-
Excellent work all around. The shading on the adobe is superb.
-
Superb work padrone :-*
What about a ladder for roof access, it'll put value on the property and make it more attractive to prospective buyers ;)
-
The trouble with selling these is they never make it past the structural survey, let alone the poor location, as you know its all about location. Values have fallen dramatically lately what with the rise in Indian attacks, roving bandit gangs, not too mention the abundance of rattlesnakes etc. San Antonio is not the twee location it used to be when the Spanish lived there... :( ;)
-
Do you mean the area is "vibrant" lol
-
Cripes that is some good adobe.
