Hi Guys
Progress has slowed now I'm back at work, but here's the latest update.
I first finished embossing the pavement strips and the cut a layer of card to fit underneath and raise the pavement above the road. Once this was dry I painted over the base with black acrylic and the added some grey randomly to it, taking care to fill in the gaps.
Once this was dry I sort of wet dry brushed the cobbles with brown, leaving the grey / black in the gaps. I continued brushing by adding colours to the brown to make the cobbles look realistic, then painted in the kerb line to break things up.
I now moved to the next building, making the structure from foam board again, but making pillars from square plastic tubes and using strips and blocks of plastic to create the details
I sketched out the sign ready for painting.
And created a boarded up window from plastic card, suitably painted and washed and then painted everything up
And mounted it to the base with the other buildings
Thanks for looking
