Next step (done):  be a wash with filler to get a rougher look between the frameworks.

Further step: undercoat them black

"Last" step: paint them

I will show "pics" when they finished.

Thanx!

Just run out of my black primer (spraycan), so I have to do it by hand - which is a lot better on the other hand - esp. if you work at an enviormental NGO  :roll:

Anyway run out of time too - so will be some time 'till I can present the finished ruins. Visiting Tactica goes first :mrgreen:

nice indeed! Is the stonework just carved foam? It looks very realistic.

Exept for the small corner ruin (which is from modelrailway) all stonework is homemade with isolation foam. To get these realistic look I use the bone of a cow's feet collected at Corsica - and black (primer), dark brown, drak grey, light grey (drybrush).

What do you use the bones for, some dark and evil ritual? :lol:

My guess would be, he's pressing it against the foam to get a rugged surface  :P

Indeed there is a not so often used ritual - mainly because it will set free a lot of arcane power.

Because of that - you never know, what you can awake - I will tell you not everything...

It ist important to draw a circle of power around the bone. This should be done at the place where you you want the powers to arise. In this case your workbench.

Then you have to make a sacrifice where you have to cut open the flesh of your victim and then drink the blood..

I prefer a blood-orange - and you know vitamins can cause strange reaction on people not used to... I will make realistic looking stones will under there influence  :D

The one thing people tend to forget when building timber frame ruins is that the frame is the building's main support:

(http://www.bmz.amsterdam.nl/adam/pics/huizen/beg34/skelets.gif)

between the wooden frame are panels of wattle and daube or brick which are fixed to the main frame.  These tend to deteriorate first leaving the timber frame behind, until it collapses in on itself.  Obvioulsy fire or impact damage will have a different effect, but general dilapidation should follow this form.
