Hi

 

My 1st attempt to paint a 2mm building. Before I applied any paint to the Smithy, I painted a sample piece.

 

I been using acrylic paints. The roof is slightly shinny becuase the small quanity of white paint I used to paint the roof tiles, was not a flat white, ie it was gloss.

 

I also had problems with splashing of roof colour onto the side wall. BUT since the paint used is acrylic it can be wiped off, and I can have another attempt.

Lisa -

 

Good first effort - any 'shiny bits' can be covered with a matt varnish - which will kill the shine.

 

Also you can 'lift' the stonework by using dilute acrylic black or grey paint.  Wash it on & wipe it off with tissue.  PRACTICE ON A SPARE PIECE FIRST!.  If it looks too heavy - quickly wash it off with water & a little detergent.  If it doesn't look heavy enough - repeat the process.

Looks good Lisa. Perhaps the roof looks shiny because it has been raining?
