15mm Italian Chapel - Spring Clean Challenge
Putting some paint down
Time to get some paint on the chapel to see how it looks.
These types of buildings tend to be quite old and the builders would have used the local stone to construct them. Therefore, it’s going to be the same colour as the paving stones. With that in mind, I used the same Kobra Desert spray can on the whole building. I’ve then painted the front door cavalry brown as I want to give it a good, rich colour.
The roof tiles in Italy are a distinctive colour but also have a degree of variation in them across the roof, which I want to try to work in somehow. So after applying a primer, I used the airbrush to apply random spots and stripes of hull red, to really darken down some patches. I’ve then sprayed Ferrari Red over the top to try to achieve a really vibrant colour.
The roof tiles didn’t look light enough to me, so I then went back over with Fiery Orange.
I should have taken more photos during the process but forgot, so apologies but here’s where I got to

I’m quite happy with this as a base coat for the building and I’m already thinking that the roof may not need much more work.
I’ll now work on the walls.
