Ta  :D

Got the timbering and texture done for both buildings, got some more pantiles on order as I've nothing left big enough for the main roof. Will get some paint on it either tonight or tomorrow  :)





cheers

Well, got most of it painted but I've run out of windows and pantiles so I'll have to wait until I can get some more. The little shed is done apart form the door and I've roughed out the side wall.







I'l probably get the wall and groundwork done tonight then I'll have to put it to one side to await supplies  :)

cheers

How do you achieve that lovely eggshell / beige colour of the walls?

Thanks chaps  :)

The textured paint is already a creamy colour, it gets a wash of thin brown ink and then a suitable drybrush of off white. Hope that helps  :)

cheers

Looks even better in the flesh. ;D

I was fortunate to see the ground work and growies added earlier. It really is going  to be a lovely model, I am sure the new owner will be very pleased.  :)

Makes one consider doing 28mm Peninsular Nappies. lol
