Spring Cleaning in the burrows
A room with a view: 4
Not much of a tutorial this time, just some pics of the WIP of the bird house with Wee Jimmy Sparra for scale.
Steps:
-I undecorated the whole thing in a dark brown for shading, similar to Rhinox Hide from GW.
-Next I directed some blasts of a pale tan (Zandri dust) onto the main wall panels and zenithal on the roof.
– Then I painted in some different panels of wood in other pale tones for variation. All the wood was then washed with dark brown and quick dried with a hair dryer.
-Some of the details needed a second direct shade to make them pop.
-The support beams and trusses were touched up with Rhinox hide and dry brushed.
-The eaves and window was painted dark angels green, direct washed in recesses and then dry brushed by adding zandri dust.
-Athonian camoshade, a dirty green wash, was applied to some areas to represent moss and mould. Some pva and scatter flock completed the effect.
-I added some vines here and there and filled the window box with flowers.
NEXT
The next step is to either thatch the roof or, my preference, to layer it with small sticks like an inverted nest.
I think this will look at home in a tree or on in town on some sturdy legs, like a water tower.
As always, comments and criticism welcome.
Cheers, T.
