Napoleonics, WWII, ACW, ECW in various scales are all sitting in boxes awaiting some attention. Once in a while a unit gets transfered to the painting table and may even end up painted in a formed unit. This will chronicle my haphazard attempts to work down the lead mountain.
Applied various pastels - but need to get some to help with creating a "greeny" mossy colour in areas of the roof. Also my first serious go with tufts and flowers etc from MiniNature.
one way to create moss is using very very fine sand,applied with white glue then painted or my method get some artist smincke pastel in mid green grind up into a fine power, mix a little isocol or pigment fixer to form a paste then apply like a dapple, have a look on the guild for the rust tutorial same principal.
That looks great - is it a Hudson and Allen / Vatican Enterprise model?
