I need to add some more shadow and weathering to the chapel as it’s still not looking right yet. To do this, I’m going to use my air brush to apply some watered down strong tone to areas where there would naturally be shadow. So in this case, under the eaves of the roof, the underside of the top of the window frames and under the window sills. I’m going to allow a fair degree of over spray as this will replicate some dirt and grim build up.

It’s subtle but really makes a big difference.

I’ll leave the chapel to dry off and carry on with the base. Next step is to get the walls attached ready for building up the cemetery. I’ve already marked out where the chapel will sit on the base and glued in the step. From there, I can mark out where the walls will be.

In a previous step I put pins into the base of the walls to provide a more sturdy join so using blu-tack, I can mark where the pins will contact the base and drill the holes. The walls then just get super glued into place.
