Hello there! I have just received news that the latest stock market figures had collapsed as news of me actually completing some painting.
This is the last of the Waterloo buildings that I am painting for a friend. This is a Total Battle Scenics model from their Waterloo range.
I have added some flock and to the open lawn in the garden complex and in parts of the courtyards to 'hide the join' in the two castings.
I have been advised that the surrounding walls are not high enough, as during the battle a person was unable to see over the top with out a fire step.
Unlike some other models, some of the building did appear to have thatched roofs.
Some evidence suggests that the main building in Hougoumont were faced white with red roofs but my friends preference was for the above.
I started to use weathering powders on the embossed blockwork on the side of the farm complex.
Some of the casting was very difficult to paint due to the lack of access for 'brush room'!
On this aspect of the building I again used weathering powders to represent the dirty lower part of te wall.
Here are also some photos of older painting work I completed for my wargaming colleague.
