I have started this challenge with a refurb and tidy up of an eBay purchase to be used with my Italian Wars, Medieval and Renaissance collections. The building started life as a fish tank model, hence the title.
The painting was completed by mainly dry brushing using various household paint match pots and some block painting to bring out the detail. The castle is around 10 inches long by 6 inches wide by 8 inches tall and took around 2 hours to paint.

This is a great use of stuff from other sources (meaning other than a game or terrain store) to spice up your wargame table. While you say it is mainly dry brushing work and then some simple painting, it looks really good, and a great use of a few hours. I like that you added some brighter colours for the awnings and shingles to give the model some colour. Good work Graham, keep it coming!
