Good morning all.....again....
So having achieved such a good effect with the tiles, I'm going to experiment with the house walls.
When I first came back to the hobby my first online modelling friend was a man called Sean (aka vindicareassassin) - a couple of you will remember him from another site. He provided a lot of advice, some equipment and even kits to help get me started, including my first AB a Revell Vario bottom feed (0.7mm needle).
He kindly commented on the start of this build when I started it, nearly six years ago, and explained his technique for buildings. His technique was to spray all surfaces black at 45 degrees in the 'up' direction, then down at 45 degrees in white. So I thought why not.....
Below are a couple of examples of what he achieved, followed by my preshade. I used Vallejo Grey primer given that I don't have much white and it's a very light grey.
The kit he showed me is the 1/72 Airfix resin worskhop - remember this was done with a 0.7mm needle AB.....

Sean's workshop.
My attempt at the preshade.....I tried to graduate it a bit, so it goes lighter the lower you get - not completely successfully.....
