Next I painted the bricks,using tera rosa,yellow ochre and burnt umber.(oils)


Firstly I painted all the bricks with tera rosa using a drybrush motion.


I then picke out a few bricks with yellow ochre and burnt umber.


All the best.

Next I put in the window frames.


For this I used strips of wood for ship building.


I first made the basic frame using simple butt joints.(bottom and top window)For the cross section of the frame, I used two pieces of wood, and made an half lap joint, this was then fitted in place(top window).I have one cross section to do.


All the best.

all looking good,Ralph,


the tera rosa,for the base of the bricks is a very good color,and well done with


the mottling of the other two colors,as a wall is never the same all over,looks great,


nice work with the windows as well,you do need that step in them of the other frame and the inner, ;)

Thank you Monica.Your comment's about the brick work please me:smiling3:(I must have painted a few thousand individual bricks on my rail layout)


I reckon I might put a few panes of broken glass in the window frames.

I fixed in place the last cross section of the window frame.


Next I added the floor joist's using 3mmby3mm pieces of wood(used for ship modelling).


The ground floor won't be put in until the building is on a base,but will be made the same way as the others.

Looking so good and to say few would think of this ( I'm really thinking of building a building now.


Need to do the calculations to make in 1/35.


Love the beam work and wall covering.


Really nice


Robert
