Dorset 1700s * 17.04.16 Some Salute game shots*

The buildings have some paint on them and next will be the thatch roofs and then some windows and doors (with handles...) and then the landscape. Roofs first as I enjoy doing landscaping so I thought I'd leave that till last  

Also painted the forge and added some coals...





After seeing how the bricks turned out painted I think Castle Blackwolf should work quite well

What did you use for coals? I found some excellent black aquarium gravel a while back that looks perfect, but it's a little bigger than what you've got. 

[Andym]

Cool!  Whats your colour receipe for the bricks?

[OSHIROmodels]

Thanks chaps 

The bricks were painted with Foundry brick shade, washed with the dark brown GW wash (can't be bothered with the stupid name) and then drybrushed with Foundry ochre mid-tone.

The thatch for the smithy is built although I'll have to get my airbrush out to paint it.




cheers

Now that is a nice thatch effect. I take it you used a metal brush to produce the texture? If so, how did you avoid large-scale chipping? I used a brass brush for a similar attempt and failed miserably as it tore huge chunks from the material.

[OSHIROmodels]

Most of it is the texture of the foam already, it has a grain when bought but only the 5mm stuff. A little going over the corners with some 80grit and it's done

A thatch roof on a smithy would be a disaster waiting to happen...

But it still looks fabulous

I thought he'd said it was a gag... now I'm confused!
