Looks great! Looking forward to the shutters and paint job.

Cheers peeps.

Got the shutters done, but I'm going to leave it at that for today. Will start on the painting tomorrow. Any suggestions or anything you think I could add just give me a shout.

Phenomenal work drumstick..excellent watching it progress!

@mikeland: Cheers mate, since I've progressed my work so well (which I don't normally do) I might make a building tutorial on it. Will probably post it on terragenisis.

Update:

Got the basic bricks done with a black wash at the end (to dull it down, too light otherwise). Detail on them and wear effect/dust/broken pieces and fading will be done next. .. that was painstakingly painted brick by brick but I think it's paid off, what you think?





Got to say that's not going to be fun doing that on the side of the house which is pretty much all bricks.. .

Excellent progress drumstic... What are your plans for the cafe sign?

I'm not too sure at this stage.. I'm thinking of adding some tacky glue followed by a very thin layer of plaster and carve out the name. Something like Très Bon or Vapeur Chaude. Not sure exactly yet.

Question: For the windows I'm not sure what to do. Should I go for a subtle light brown, or a faded blue quite worn?

Cafe Rene?

Cafe Rene?

'Allo, 'Allo

A smokey brown for the windows would work especially for a bombed out building.
