For the pavement I also use the sheets from In the Greenwood. Made the pavement to the right size using a craft knife. Then I cleaned them first with an MDF cleaning pad. I gave it a coat with Gesso.

Next step was painting the granite kerbs. As base colour I used AK Dry Light Mud. I gave it several layers. The side used a lot of paint. After that I took a little piece of natural sponge with some Petite properties ‘Mucky’ paint. With just a little paint on the sponge I dabbed the granite kerbs.

The slabs I gave first a coat with a base colour of Celestra Grey from Citadel. Than I did the space between the slabs with Vallejo Oiled Earth. After that I took an old brush with the hairs cut down. I dabbed the individual slabs with a coat of Tallard Sand, Baneblade brown, Stormvermir fur from Citadel and Flat earth from Vallejo. I worked directly on applying, in the same way, Administration Grey from Citadel. When finished I gave the pavement and kerbs a coat of Light Grey wash from Valejo. Just to bring the whole scene together.

Here is picture of the whole diorama. The side street has another finished colour. I used it as a try-out, but I’m still content with the final result. The black edge at the end of the pavement will not be visible when the diorama is finished.

I have first to do some things on the base and then I can start with the buildings.

Kind regards,
Job
