And I thought you were my friend

Was just kidding ... in fact it were your models that made me start building adobe houses

I just started to paint the church ... photos will follow soon.

Can't wait to see the jacales ... too bad with every building you make I got new ideas and my town is growing and growing and ... out flat is nearly filled up with Old West and Mexican houses and my girlfriend is not very happy with the situation

Thats better

A REAL bell tower now

The roof tiles look better now. Sorry to drag you out of your sick bed but you will feel better for it

Finally I had a good day and painted the adobe ruins as a test before painting the church ... hope you like the photos.

1. basecoat the walls after painting the earth with two tones

2. drybrushing with the third earth tone and finally a little bit of white on the walls

3. Put on gras in different lengths and two bandidos added

... and now ready to play ...

Well hohlinger, clearly you and senor Malamute are going to have to get together to stage a game in a Mexican CITY!

The Church looks fabulous by the way. The bell really makes it

The ruins have turned out rather nicely too.

That bell fits a treat and the painted ruin looks awesome. You know all that cursing when you turned the tiles around was worth it

... and finally I did it ... hope you like the painting style. I wanted to immitate a dirty sand-coloured look of the walls like on the church in Tucson Arizona (fifth picture).

Tucson, Arizona:

The only thing what is missing is the painting of the bell. I will try to give it a oxidized copper or bronze finish but am still searching for the right method ...

... any ideas or links???

UPDATE!!!

The bell is painted now ...

First I painted it in Foundry brazen ... then a wash with self mixed Umbra ... afterwards wash with Foundry Forrest Green shade and as long as this wash is wet I mixed some white in the dark green wash and put it on the bell. The effect looks really cool in reality (the picures are not the best sorry) ...

Super build, great paint job.

Sure the bell will come out fine.

Wonderful! It's just what I need for my new project.

Shame I'll have to make do without anything that good

Excellent. I particularly like the colors and shading, and the tiles. Quite nicely done.

Lovely paint job

The bell has turned out really well.
What are you going to do with the two windows on the side?
