Oh never mind it is a diamond pattern of black bricks on red bricks.
Nurse, the screens!

I know what you mean. No this is just random diagonals prior to adding a dark wash.Walkingthedog wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 3:48 pm Oh never mind it is a diamond pattern of black bricks on red bricks.

Re: WEST ORTON
Final touches applied to the shed.
An overall wash of blue/grey, wiped off before it could dry. Window frames painted and glazed with Glue n Glaze (still drying). I also added facial and guttering with downpipes made from copper wire. Door mouldings do come with the kit but they are a bit thick and only single sided so new doors were built from plasticard with wire hinges. The final touch was to cover the roof ridge with copper tape. I did add some chemical blacking to it but ended up toning it down with the airbrush.
I reckon I can stick a fork in this and call it done.

Re: WEST ORTON
Great work Steve.
Looks as though it was always there and will do so more once you apply your skills to the ground cover!
