Just an update on this, moving along ok, .
I hadn't primed the pe this time and as you will see the primer has failed to take, so will have to do that section again.
Made up the "bread " using Milliput, didn't have to paint as i'd rolled on some smeared paint by mistake !
PIEKARNA is bakery.
The foam board at the front was textured with a small brass brush, then when Id painted the soil colour I flattened the area in front of the door.
The door was dry brushed with a lighter mix of paint.
Using dry lining adhesive certainly gives the best finish , far smoother than any wall filler. The final texture is done with a soft sanding pad of 220 grit, not pressed just a very light sanding. When the surface coat is applied I do it with a dabbing motion, this gives the worn look as when the knife is lifted as it naturally removes some of the coating.The cracks are done with a variety of needles , knife blade, sharp and pointy small tools.
Where the gaps were big enough I removed some of the material and impressed the surface. To make them more prominent I use a very thin wash of black , the darker wall under the roof was done using a black pastel, just a light drag.
I can see a hole opposite the window that will need attention.
Don't know where to put the bike for the final, position, but here you can see how the spokes haven't taken the primer.
Hans is looking in the window at those loaves.
Or this position
When that colour appeared after rolling it in that old paint I was quite chuffed, esp with the dots and streaks.
Had to use some matt varnish to hold them in place, pigment binder didn't work . That slight shine doesn't show through the window.
Thanks for looking.
