Plaster Walls on Japanese Buildings
« on: April 08, 2021, 03:27:15 PM »
Gents, I’m just about to start work on the John Jenkins Design Japanese Temple building (it’s been sitting in the queue waaay too long) and I was looking to achieve something similar to the plaster walls seen on this medieval building, but I’m drawing a real blank trying to figure out what colors have been used here. It’s quite a dramatic effect and something I think would suit the overall aesthetic of my Fantasy Japan stuff.

I was hoping some of you talented blokes could lend me some insights, or share any experience in doing something similar.

Someone from the company who makes the above building, sent me this in relation to the coloring. I figured I'd share it in this thread for posterity's sake.

Quote
To make the plaster areas the person did the following steps:
- start with a black undercoat
- use an ochre brown similar to bubonic brown as a basecoat
- drybrush bleached bone and then white before using thin washes of athonian cammo shade and some browns around the edges to create stained streaks and the effect of mold

Bravo 6,
That is very similar to how I do my Chinese buildings, though I have opted for a slightly brighter finish (slightly heavier second and final coats.
Got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight.

Oh that looks great Andy! I think I'll have to PM you about that. Thanks for the input.
