Saturday's here again, so here's today's snap of the worktable. As always Sofie, who's idea this, has links was to other paint-tables.
The scale's less than perfect. We'll call it "forced perspective", shall we?
Construction was simplicity itself, using some thin craft foam from The Works. It was a little too thin and warped in the process and storage: I think I might need some internal buttressing for future attempts. It did stiffen up in the next stage though. That was the application of a texturing agent in the form of a Polyfiller/PVA/Water mix. I wasn't sure how much to apply, so used one carcass as a test-piece - with different amounts on different sides.
I didn't know what to apply to the roof.
I got as far as giving the first coat of paint.
I may have overdone the filler, and may sand it down before dry-brushing. But at this stage, I got distracted when I bought a rocketship.
An impressive hamlet you've created there, I love the first shot where we can see the Martian spacecraft that has landed amidst them.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the Middle Eastern buildings Edwin
ReplyDeleteBuildings are shaping up nicely!
ReplyDeleteAnyone could be forgiven for rocketship distraction, especially such a splendid one. A very promising start on those buildings, however.
ReplyDeleteBuildings are looking good!
ReplyDeleteBuilding are never the same height, width, etc and you are doing a grand job on them too
