steve fay Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Building up layers of paint on the retaining walls. White first then a rough grey, Brown then black. This will be sealed then the grey washes can start. The Red is local sand stone, Matt red to start then orange dry brushed over the top Edited June 17, 2018 by steve fay 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve fay Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 I’ve been experimenting with a new product, A clear thick gel paint as used in a lot of military modelling dioramas. It has to be built up in layers and so far this has taken about a week, I only added another coat this morning and it takes a while for it to dry fully clear. I’m very happy with the results so far. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
