| Now that is looking a lot more efective. If you paint the wals and rubble with a number of different colours you should get a very realistic finish and the whole thing will come to life. That is definately something you should use a wash on to bring out the shadow detail. If you haven't done this before practise on a spare piece but you will be amazed at how easily they can look good.
Great job, are you pleased with it?
By the way if you've hit wood you can't go any further so there's no point in worrying about it!!

| looking nice!
that mortor hole looks good, maybe add some black pastel dust to it, then blow off the excess. that will give it a nice charred effect!
as Richard says, painting the walls would make it look much better as it will tone them down a bit and blend them in. a nice wash would also look good.
but this is a great starting point for something amazing!
keep up the good work! | |

| | Scale Model Member | hey guys thanks for the support. truth be told the walls are painted, but like I said my cam takes bad pics indoors so they look pretty plain from the flash. They do need to be painted a little more, but at the moment they have a base coat of a light gray, lightly misted with a tan. I'll have to try your black pastel idea rj. thanks | |

| That is looking a lot better already and is coming to life very nicely.
My only suggestion now would be to darken the walls. If you have a look at outside stone walls you will see how dark and muliticoloured they actually are. Just to simply paint them with a mix of browns, dark greys and greens, for the mosses, then a wash to flow into the joints to enhance the shadows would look very effective.
Have a look at some pictures of real outside stone walls for guidance and inspiration. Here's a couple of mine:
