Hey Mason! Just wanted to chime in and say that I attempted to recreate the "Krappefortt sandstone" look on a recent terrain piece. I followed your technique by drybrushing from burnt sienna up through yellow ochre and white. It turned out pretty well! Here's a link to the pic (I didn't embed as I don't want to hijack your thread with my pics): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0sTDpR4veiE/UdxoH_zQMpI/AAAAAAAAD8g/XOHXZLJ324s/w958-h539-no/20130709_132658.jpg

To hell with that 'hijack' talk, it has come out really well, sir.

I far prefer the 'warmth' of sandstone to the 'cold' greys that are more the norm, and this is a great example:





Nice work, Patrick!
 

[von Lucky]

I agree - nice warm tones.

[Mason]

I agree - nice warm tones.

They are, indeed.
 

Just for you two, I am considering removable options for the roof, with the first one being a tennis court.
 

OK, the notion of a tennis court on the roof was just plain silly, so that idea has been dismissed...

I have stuck with the original plan and it is almost done, just a few more details and the final roof needs tiling.
It should all be finished over the weekend if all goes according to plan.

The proof:

Before....




....and After.



It is getting there...

Thank you, and my hat's off to you for mentioning my little terrain piece in your thread headline (threadline?).

[DeafNala]

OOH! That looks REALLY GOOD! For some reason or other I was expecting a Pigeon Coop; this is MUCH better...cleaner too.

You are welcome, sir.
It deserved it as it has such a smooth transition in the colours.
Nicely done.

Thank, Al!
It is still a dovecote, so it may still have to be a little 'messy'.
 


I have finished the roof tiles (tedious and fiddly job that it is.
Time to add the details and then slap some paint on it, methinks...

Not tall enough

[Mr Saturday]

Super nice work. You're like some manner of crazy terrain ninja.

[Mason]

Not tall enough 

It is not some kind of (unfinished) Wizards Tower, ya know?
Although it is destined to be a little bit taller.

Thank you, Mr S!
That did give me a chuckle.


It should all be a little clearer what is happening there once the details are on and it is undercoated.

Oh, and seeing it from the other side would help, too.....

[Kitsune]

Interesting top piece - not what I excpeted at all. Whats the weather vane going to be? A gibbet?

[Rob_bresnen]

A dovecote. Interesting. I thought it was going to be a clock tower. looking forward to seeing it (lots of pigeon poo?)

[Funghy-Fipps]

Almost there! Looks 

[DeafNala]

The Dovecote should make spotting the Witch Hunters easier: just keep an eye out for the Guys sporting the Pidgin poop.
