Afterglow: Season of Scenery

The July/August scenery challenge proved to be quite productive and it meant some items were still to be completed when the finish line was crossed.

So here are a few that have now made it home so to speak.

This Almera vacform got to see the light of day over the summer but fell by the wayside
One of my walls literally fell off the work bench and got lost for a while
Some craft paints and garish contrast
A simple design
Their website comes with security warnings – well my search did.
I bought my almera items at Porth Madog models
I cut out a card base and despite better advice from John at just needs varnish, I painted it and it curved as you would expect. However I sloshed the other side as well and when it was almost dry I managed to get it just about flat.
The almera cottage involved more cutting than I realised
This set of rails appeared from nowhere and in this case I just used craft brown both diluted and undiluted to get some contrast finished off with some Javis grass
These defences have been put to one side as I got carried away with contrast paint and now plan to change the tone completely – at some point. At least they are no longer just black!
The almera cottage only missing the ruined ceiling – not sure what I might do about the walling recess
The completed almera raised bridge all finished in contrast paints, blue yellow and brown. Quicker than dry brush – good enough to game with
The walls now complete with missing unit – yep I forgot to note the colour (mixed) I used for the terracotta but got there in the end.
This building also got some paint during the challenge
This is an armourfast farmhouse that I coated with bird grit – must get that ridge tile fixed before winter comes
