So I finally finished my Bree House – well nearly… After painting the polyfillered base with green textured paint, I gave it a coat of goblin green and then flocked it. After that I painted some more PVA on, and flocked it with a darker brown material to add some interest. Then I repeated the process again to add some static grass to some areas.
Bushes were added around the sides of the house, using lichen. At this point I realised that the one wall without a window looked a bit bare, so I put a pile of polyfiller there so that I could paint it brown so it looked like a pile of mud or fertiliser.

The bricks posed a problem. I find it really hard to dry brush large areas, and wanted to do this codex and then fortress grey, but had run out of the former. So I ended using shadow grey, and a lighter version (Space wolves Grey?) over the black base coat. It still doesn’t have the definition that I find it easy to get from a smaller model. When I try to dry brush a large area it always seems to show the brush marks too much. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I really like the oak beams on this now. I wasn’t sure how they would look, with only a Scorched Brown basecoat. However when I dry brushed these with bestial brown it brought them out really well.

I’d like to try and make another one of these, but this has taken me so long I probably better not.
