Old Collingwood Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share #1112 Posted July 3, 2021 Evening all, A bit of an early update before the footy match on the tv, anyway I mixed up some brick colour paint, then gently applied it over the brickwork in an almost dry brush fashion, then I started applying the White layers - still a few more layers to do - but its fairly straightforward brush work, so here is the current stage - OC.

What you've done so far looks superb. Thank you kindly Mark, From what I gather - the square bricks around the doors/windows are stone so they will receive a couple of coats of a Buff/Grey colour, I will do the frames and the doors a dark Grey/Black (think Nato Black will be fine for that - the ledges will also be stone Buff/Grey colour and around the bottom bricks a Black painted band - this will follow all the way around the farm complex on the inside. I am playing with the idea of simulating glass in the windows by using some clear plastic glued to the inside, I know some of this glass was probably shot out later in the day when the French managed to get above the wall, but as I am building it form an earlier part in the day, I don't think any of the windows would have been shot from the French outside the walls.

Old Collingwood Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share #1124 Posted July 4, 2021 So, more of the same for the other face of the house tomorrow, then I will look for some clear plastic that can be cut and glued on the inside for my windows. Oh did I say - I intend to detail the inside of the farmhouse - I am putting in a partition on the ground floor for a kitchen and lounge, will also add some stairs and a First floor with a couple of bedrooms, the dorma windows will also be opened up into the bedrooms to allow the placement of a few of my 2nd KGL firing from them poitions - what I have done sofar is just the tip of the iceberg.

Old Collingwood Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share #1131 Posted July 5, 2021 Evening all, Only a small update today - I finished painting the outside of the kitchen garden facing wall of the cottage (i'm out of breath from saying that) so next was to add some layers of White on the insides of the Four walls - yep layer after layer after layer - still havn't finsished them yet, so I know what I will be doing tomorrow, I have had to order some more White as I am getting through it like there is no tomorrow. No pics as time beat me but I will put some up tomorrow.

Old Collingwood Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share #1132 Posted July 6, 2021 So my next move with this - put a few more White layers down on the Two remaining inside walls, then when dry have a go at creating some door/window frames that will trap some clear plastic to represent my windows, then I will study and mark out my room partition's and ceiling/first floor position, then check what wood stock I have to make some attaching frames for the room walls and floor that will probably be made up using lolly sticks (wooden type) - well that's the loose plan.

mtaylor Posted July 6, 2021 Share #1135 Posted July 6, 2021 Sounds like a good plan OC. Will there be any men inside the farmhouse or just nearby?

Yes indeed Mark, I will be placing some firing form the Dorma windows as they had a vantage point over the wall and buildings, my way of looking at is - early in the battle the main farm was still intact and the KGL was uisng all of its vantage points to shoot at the French, its this stage I want to replicate - even possibly with the main courtyard gates open and KGL firing from that position also.

FriedClams Posted July 7, 2021 Share #1138 Posted July 7, 2021 Just catching up on your diorama OC. and it's looking terrific! This is a very interesting building as I have not seen an MDF laser cut kit before. It has some nice detailing to it and I very much like your enhancements so far. I find one of the biggest challenges in modeling is to make one material look like something it's not. So your modifications to the "brick" (extra carving, mortar and painting techniques) really transformed the MDF into what convincingly looks like a real baked clay product. Excellent. I agree with your decision to glaze the windows - catching a glint of light off of them can really add to the illusion. Interior walls and detailing is ambitious and sounds very cool. Looking forward to watching your future work on the structures and the diorama in general.
