2018 painting challenge: reduce the mountain some more!

[petercooman]

Yeah poor construction makes it really hard to put MDF together, maybe worth you dropping them an email as they may be unaware of the problem

Take care

Andy

I'll see what i can do.

meanwhile i got the basic painting done, now to do the bases, and find something to cover the roof with. maybe spackle? or straw? or just leave them as is? the tabs are showing though, wich kind of bugs me...

chateau has been undercoated black as well!

Not straw......Too coarse at this scale, Peter.....I reckon.

(PS....what do the headlines on the papers mean ?)...... I think we need to be told.  )

Ons recht means 'our rights'

It's the info booklet from my wifes  "union".

I said straw meaning model straw though. Zitrrdes sell that.

Don't have dead teddybears at hand!

Found this in the local arts and crafts store, will try to put these on my roofs!

[petercooman]

all done! Only thing left to do is give the roofs a wash with agrax eartshade to tie them in with the buildings.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Genius!

[Ithoriel]

Clever and effective roofing. Well done!

[paulr]

Wot they said

Really improves the buildings

[lowlylowlycook]

Perfect find!

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

I hope they will take the wash well.

[petercooman]

Took the wash well, calling these done! (the darker spots are where the wash is still wet)
