a Medieval Town Project update 30/1/2022 second building painted

[skip]

thanks for the support again guys

Skip, it looks good thus far. Are you going to vary the tones of the various stones in the walls by adding washed like green greys etc? I think it would make all the difference at the end of the day.

I've seen some brilliant paint jobs on stone walls which I saved so I'll have a dig through the files on my laptop and see what I can find by way of example. If you think it might be useful that is?

yes a few examples would be great !, i am painting one of the big buildings at the moment as the one
above is just an example, had to change my method a little as wiping the excess off in the first process didnt
work, this only seems to work on large flat areas, the larger building has too many small areas that are hard to get to
so i mixed my poster paint to a light honey colour, wiped off excess, a little too much, and then
decided to paint a brown wash over the whole lot, so lots of differint shades with a small brush i think
and see how that looks

Hmmmm I can't find the pictures, they must have been stored on my old laptop, but I did manage to dig this gem out from Geek Gaming on YouTube which you might find useful regarding painting the colour and tone of the stone in your walls:

No probs. I love the subtle effects he gets. I used to work at Durham Cathedral, manually thus I got very used to noticing the differences in hue and tone on stonework.

There seem to be a wealth of vids on YouTube on the subject.

Pinwash version looks great

thanks again guys for the support, still blocking in colours, all the little
wooden strutts are taking time though, might take a photo when the colours are blocked in

A good idea. If you have something in front of you other then the model it's sometimes easier to see where you are with things- to see what works and what doesn't

well i finally finished my first building for the town, might need a bit of subtle weathering
but finished for now

That is quite something Brian 

Agree that it could probably do with a little distressing to tone it down a whisker, but it’s a fabulous looking creation.

Superb

Wow, that looks fantastic! I hope we get to see a full street of them at some point?
