Frontier North Trading Post board

I decided to start on a larger building with some scatter terrain.  This marketplace is probably going to be the tallest building on the table.

I decided to try out a blue-grey stone and to keep it fairly dark to hopefully help the snow effect show up.

The building was primed dark grey then heavily dry brushed Jetty Blue using Wilko’s tester pots.

The next coat was dry brushing Mineral Stone to knock back the blue a bit and add texture.

I then picked out random stones in Shadow Grey and Stonewall grey to add variety and sealed it.

The last step was to use Model Mates (also known as Dirty Down) Slate Grey and Soot black to wash all over and bring it all together.  Using damp tissue I removed the excess from raised areas.  Model Mates reactivates when wet so can be reworked as needed. I then lightly sprayed it with matte varnish to both seal and remove the glossy finish of the earlier laquer spray.

For the roof I decided to go with a terracotta sort of lookaand kept it fairly simple by layering up with these acrylics.

With the base colours on I decided I wanted an older, mossy look so used these greens and browns to darken the roof and weather it.

The final step was to use AK Interactive Snow Sprinkles effect paste to get my light snow finish.

And here we have it, the first building and test for the table, and a bunch of scatter pieces to spread out in front of it.

My brother has already printed off the Repulsor train for me and has started on the next structures so the project is well under way!
