The Grim/NWF Hillfort

[H.M.Stanley]

Hi, my first attempt ever at some model building.

Pathan attack on a watchtower

For a fist build that's very good 

With a little bit of greenery on the base and some weathering on the walls you'll have a cracker 

cheers

Hi. Thank you.

Yup i intend going back to it and the figures (i'm still painting more troops) and finishing off the basing.


I've drybrushed the walls. What would you suggest for weathering?

Thanks

Thinned down green and brown inks to give the impression of water streaks, but really thin it down, it's better to go over an area than to have to much.

Nice one! I like both the forts. That's going to be a cool table to play on with those two.

Very nice forts, reminds me that I need to get some foamboard...

Nice job! Looks way better than my hill fort (which is only imaginary so far...)

But wheres the hill?

No seriously, that is a fine piece of scenery you have made there.

Ha ha - we're working on all the hills at the moment

Ok i had a go at weathering and added some greenery. I'm not entirely happy with the effect, particularly around the loopholes. My fault - the inks weren't diluted enough i think. I may do a slight dry-brush over to tone them down.

Otherwise its finished except for the varnishing. I'll gloss & then dullcote etc






Thanks

That looks better, a few small patches of green ink going part way up the Walls in the internal corners and you're there 

cheers

Very nice.   


yes, some more weathering, and maybe some cracked stucco with exposed mud bricks.

Make some more!
