Five more Sarissa buildings for Rattlesnake

The weathering really brings them out, well done!

I have a bunch of these en route. Care to share any tips on how you achieve such great weathering/painting effects?

Acrylic base coat in colour of choice, two layers of the same colour with increasing portions of white mixed in applied with really light brush strokes (call it semi-drybrush if you like). That will spare some parts of the surface an give an image of wood grain and faded paint. After thorough drying comes a black wash and after another drying a leather brown wash where dust would gather (thus not on vertical walls). A light grey drybrush job will make the edges and details pop out in the end. That´s it.

Check out the tricity laser buildings they are made of real wood which takes paint better than mdf and they are more detailed.

I really dont like Sarissa buildings, I think that most of it just dont cut it, it doesnt have the details and dont feel "live" enough. However... and I really mean this, you Michi seems to be able to take any kind of material and transform it in to something very much "alive" and beutiful. I love your dark colours and weathering, it allways amazes me, it looks so old and dirty and reall. Keep it up my friend, and you will have a astonishing Old West town!

They look great!




...I hate you (as I look at my pile on untouched Sarissa buildings).
