Evening all . well the bricks are started, 4 colours being used.
Been over one colour twice , will hopefully do the others again morrow. A slow task but once you get into it time seems to fly.Still loads to do to these bricks.

Hello all.
Using Woodland Scenics ST1447 Foam Putty as a filler between the bricks the mortar line has been done.
Next will be another coat of the brick colours to enhance and a thin coat of grey for the mortar.



Thanks for looking in .

There's more. Today sat and painted the mortar line , then redid the brick colours and another wash on the rendering.


Thanks for looking in , comments welcome, good , bad or just plain abuse

Need to add some sponge work with a slight colour to the render sections.
Hopefully get that done tomorrow afternoon .

Confession time.

I just saw an email alert for this thread. It said "Marder 111" in the subject. It has been bothering me.

It is just the font used I guess, but viewed as a webpage it shows "Marder III", which this is NOT.

Carry on!
