Othertime Inn [Roof Almost done! 3/8]

That is seriously stunning. I wish I had the ability to craft something like that.

I see! Thought the roof comes with the gable attached. If it is separate, i.e. only the shingles and the baulks, that's very cool!
I want to build some kind of pitched roof for a small tower. There should be a rather acute angle for the roof - difficult to explain in English.
Something like that:

[Sangennaru]

no - no gable at all. i just cast the roof part, if you want to make the gable you have to cut it and glue!


now making the tower. after that only small corrections! :=

[Sangennaru]

sorry for the continuos stream of infos, but... i've painted another part!

Don't appologise - this looks like a fantastic project, wish I had that level of skill.

Keep the updates coming!

congrats for the exam too 

the inn looks very italian
first image that went through my mind was the roof chase in the last Bond movie opening

[Sangennaru]

im' painting the upper floor right now, but i'm not really convinced about my painting... funno, it looks a bit too...monochromatic!:(

[Sangennaru]

here it is:

not totally convinced about the colour scheme, but i think taht is acceptable. maybe i could make something better, but i've no time and no energies!
all the detail are still missing, gonna paint them too! dont' worry




and



hope you like!

[Sangennaru]

Edit: the brownish orange part is the primered wall. it should become like the other one: almost white!

[Thantsants]

Wowee! Looking good! 

Any tips on the lovely effect on the roofing tiles and the walls?

I think the colour scheme is great but perhaps the chimneys look a little clean? Watered down black ink wash and a bit of moss and lichen maybe?

monochromatic?
well, when things get really old, colour fades, everything gets dirty and sooted - can't help that

what You could do is add colourful details

that's a good point. i think i'll add some gras or just some weathering, for those chimneys!


@former user, I'll paint those shield as colourfull as i can, i think that some colours are strongly needed!

[Sangennaru]

ok, i' ve officially paused the work for the 4th time: it stessed me too much, i'll take it back when i'l be more relaxed! (ergo 2 months, i assume)
