Very Nice! Like the weathering.
-
I wish I had the patience to really paint mine. :D Great looking - like the bannister touches up front.
-
Just great.
-
Wonderful paintjobs on those buildings. :-*
Sarrisa building look very nice, but I never thought they could look that good. :o
-
Very fine painting.
Love the weathering. :-*
-
For the record, your plasticard roofing job looks better than the available mdf cut pieces from Sarissa. Nicely done there too!
-
Please tell me that those are molded shingles, and that you aren't laying down individual strips of plasticard to get that look! :o

Yes, I tell you that these are molded shingles on Auhagen plasticard. 1.40 € per roof...

Wow, amazing buildings!
-
I think they are utter rubbish, send them to me and I will pop them on my next bonfire ;)
-
I love Sarissa buildings. I use them for modern, but you have done some amazing things with the Western line.
-
I'm not a big fan of laser cut buildings (I sometimes find them a bit 'flat'), but you've made them look brilliant! I can only agree with everybody else, fantastic painting and weathering!!
-
Excellent colours, weathering and signage :) :) :)
-
I have a bunch of these en route. Care to share any tips on how you achieve such great weathering/painting effects?
-
The weathering really brings them out, well done!

Acrylic base coat in colour of choice, two layers of the same colour with increasing portions of white mixed in applied with really light brush strokes (call it semi-drybrush if you like). That will spare some parts of the surface an give an image of wood grain and faded paint. After thorough drying comes a black wash and after another drying a leather brown wash where dust would gather (thus not on vertical walls). A light grey drybrush job will make the edges and details pop out in the end. That´s it.

awesome!

Very nice approach to those buildings, Michi. Lovely weathering and pictures ...

Check out the tricity laser buildings they are made of real wood which takes paint better than mdf and they are more detailed.
-
I really dont like Sarissa buildings, I think that most of it just dont cut it, it doesnt have the details and dont feel "live" enough. However... and I really mean this, you Michi seems to be able to take any kind of material and transform it in to something very much "alive" and beutiful. I love your dark colours and weathering, it allways amazes me, it looks so old and dirty and reall. Keep it up my friend, and you will have a astonishing Old West town!

They look great!
...I hate you (as I look at my pile on untouched Sarissa buildings).
