Neat method for the bricks, going to look killer when painted.

Quick update on some progress from tonights benchtime 1st up i finished cutting the brickwork on the front wall then move onto making a window from plasticard so i did not have to paint the inside of the house i made a box which will be behind the window this can be painted black to replicate a dark room behind the window i also added a small detail of a 1/35 cat from a Tamiya german panzer crew boxset this will sit on the windowsil when all is painted. next up will be sanding an filling the winow and then onto the wood cladding on the upper parts of the walls.

Great work! Never thought about using styrofoam to do brick work! Thank you Dan! Learned something new today! Can't wait to see how the base turns out!

Right chaps today i started some painting on the house 1st up i finished the window box got it painted and stuck together i used citadel and vallejo acrylics to paint the window and finished it off with some citadel washes. Then i made a start on the house firstly it was primered with citadel chaos black once dried with a hairdryer i used Tamiya acylics through my AB for the roof i used a mix of neutral grey and german grey then german grey on its own for the shadow areas. for the walls a mix of deck tan and white and for the wood work flat brown and german grey deck tan was then used to highlight a few planks next up will be the brickwork then the fun bit of lots of weathering heres some pics of the progress. Components of the window ready for paint: Window and cat finished : Primer time: Base colours applied: Thats all for now Dan B
