The last picture I shared

So, I just realized that I forgot to share my finished Roundhouse project earlier in posts.

I mentioned in my first post that I ordered a larger Roundhouse from Warlord Games and the process I went through to make the roofs. I forgot to share how I painted the buildings and finished up the roofs.

I used some basic craft paints for the buildings. An almond color for the walls and brown for the wood and doors. I also took some construction sand and glued it around the base of the buildings.

I really liked how the details in the MDF wasn’t obscured by the paint I used.

I primed all of the roofs black after hot gluing the roofs together and adding some flocking over the points of attachment.

I’m not sure the best name for the first painting process, but it was a very wet and quick application of the brown craft paint all over the roofs.

I shared the pictures of my roundhouses with a friend and he suggested adding another color. I went with a dry brush of a gray craft paint.

While that was drying, I looked up some images of roundhouses and saw that sometimes moss could grow on the roofs. I decided to add some PVA glue to spots on the roof that I felt could use some additional color and where moss or other plants might grow.

I think the buildings turned out well and didn’t take me very long.
