PhillM - 20mm building by Raventhorpe (10 pts)


20mm Raventhorpe building




This was painted with emulsion paints and then finished with Vallejo colours.

I always struggle with buildings- an unexplained painters blocky that they are difficult to paint and mainly I think this is besides of the windows .

I can never decide between the light blue shading or leaving them black with grey shading.

Once finished they have been gloss and Matt varnish.

Points I will leave with Byron .

Hello Phil,  

This is a great looking little building and you have painted it very well. I am having to guess about the size a bit as you did not put in any measurements or pictures with any figures to go from.  I am guessing about 4"x3"x3" but if I am way off, please correct me.  I am solidly with you on the painters block for windows, I struggle with the same thought on all of my windows as well, but generally go with a dark blue faded to light blue centre, like you did as I think it looks the most natural.

There is a lot to paint on this building with all the textures and the exposed timber framing so even though it is 20mm scale I am going to guess at least the 4-6 hour range to paint and award 10 points.
