New project - SBS - part 6

 

 

A small corner of the vignette will be paved with cobble stones. The are made from feather board.

 



 

 

The sharp edges of the cobbles are improved by compressing them between fingers.

 

 

Cobbles were glued with dense PVA

 

 

Two layers of highly diluted gypsum  putty (something like onetime putty) were applied

 

 

The basic colour

 

 

Each cobble was painted separately with Vallejo acrylics.

 

 

Black - brown acrylic wash

 

 

Pigments were applied with fine brush to all gaps between cobbles

 

 

Green pigment added

 

 

I used FIBA laser cut product for a fence. Posts are made from spruce strips.

 

 

Some steel fittings were added (aluminium foil, hypodermic needle)

 

 

Weathered wood (AK´s weathered wood acrylics set)

 

 

After the hairspray technique

 

 

Weathering with washes and oil colours (AK´s weathered wood and slimy grime green washes, Payne´s grey oil)

 

 

Test fitting

 

 

Some areas were re-painted with very fine brush.

 

 

I started with the brick paving too. The procedure is the same as with cobble stones.
