I've combined two evening's work together since there wasn't much progress on account of waiting for the glue to dry.
|
A layer of masking tape is taped over the entire piece, leaving only the steps and dug grave exposed, and then a layer of white glue is spread over the entire surface. |
|
My usual 'spice mix' of sand and gravel is poured over the insert. When dry, flagstones made from thin card is glued to the path. |
|
The front gate section is removed to show the interior better. |
I am still not sure what colour to paint the ground; my usual basing colour is too red and warm for what I am planning to convey here, so I am thinking either a black prime followed by a dark brown and then a drybrush of brown mixed with grey, or to go black and grey.
I won't be able to work on this tomorrow, but I will have all of Friday to prime and paint the pieces, and hopefully put the finishing touches on this project on Saturday.
starting to take shape nicely.
