Here's one I had some time for today, it was mostly the texture of the wall i tested out.. Worked differently than i had expected and I think it would suit the WW2/40k scenery more than anything else.. I gave it a heavy brush of black paint mixed in with some paint thickener to show your brush strokes etc.. I then dabbed it on heavily, gave it a light brush of grey.. thats it so far, didn't have anymore time.

Everything looks very well.
Perhaps you might want to brick the edges and scatter a few bricks and then apply the textured paint.

I remember seing an old GW article, i cant remember where now that used chopped up sprue to represent old bricks.

Nice terrain, great progress on the church. :yay:

Drumstick · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 5:25 pm

Question; Should i make it a slightly ruined church with the roof blown off & rubble around the place, or have it normal - with a removable roof..

I think making it ruined would make it easier to use in a game, Any help?

aqan · **Posted:** Fri Jul 09, 2010 7:57 pm

I would go for a removable roof because imo it would look much better and it will not be a lot more difficult in a game.
But it really depends on what you want.
I really love that window btw.

Voila

It's only pinned in at the mo, & I think ill add tiles as well.. that'll liven some things up.

Comments are Welcome!

Very clean. I like it a lot.

Are you just using foamcore/board?

Drumstick · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:23 pm

Here's an Update, that's one side of the roof done with tiles..

WIP

The tiles look rather flat on that pic, but never mind..

really cool, i rjavascript:emoticon(':yay:')eally want try that! i bet it took a LOT of time, huh? :yay:

aqan · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:29 pm

It looks great.

If you don't have enough free space, once it's finished you can always send it to me :twisted:

You are building this quite fast.

Are you going to brick the polystyrene things (aren't they called buttresses (steunberen in dutch)?

polarbird2 · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:41 pm

that was a bit retarded, i mean my comment, something didnt go right...

but stil, great job

Drumstick · **Posted:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:50 pm

emm I'm not sure about the bricks for the walls/foamboard.. I am rather tempted touse the milliput & get a good looking stone effect... as you saw in that small around fort earlier in this thread.. any suggestions?

@aqan; If space runs out, there's always the garden & yep it's coming on fairly quick
@polarbird2; Welcome to the site, and I hope to see some terrain/painting from you in the near future
