It's coming along VERY nicely. Well done.

This morning, I finished off the carving out the brick work and the door frame. I've cut holes out to add windows to the door and the top of the door frame. For the steps I cut a half centimetre indent around the front to give them a defined look.

With base, I couldn't resist but to add a manhole cover and glue the sides around the door together.

It's starting to come together, hopefully today I'll add the first layers of paint to it.

I've had a productive day with this diorama, first coat of paint applied to the base, then a mix of burnt umber and deep red for bricks. I was going to use a base coat of limestone spray but I ran out after doing one wall.

Fellow builders as you probably know I'm red/green colour blind and would value your option of the first coat before I wipe up another batch and carry on.

Wow, tons of progress. Looks good on the front pages.

Thanks Tamer, was at a loose end yesterday and one thing led to another.

I've also launched my website today https://richardscreativeworkshop.co.uk/.  It is a portfolio of my my diorama and custom figure works over the past couple of years and I'd love it if fellow Yarders would have a look and let me know your thoughts..

Many thanks

Last night I mixed up another burnt umber and deep red mix and painted the last two walls but as you can see it is a little darker than the original.  While the paint was drying, I added black to it and using a fine brush I went in between all bricks and cracks.

I mixed up a little grey to go over the front door frame, then a black wash over the steps.

My next step is to make up another umber/red mix and go over the bricks around the front door and round each brick.

Looks really nice to me. Off to share the latest.

Thank you Tamer

I've had an advent full time with my diorama, I made up a darker burnt umber/red mix and applied a second coat to the door section of brick work. Then using a fine brush I went in between every brick, blending in any excess.

I used a grey around the windows, painted silver onto wooden BBQ squires which were then used as bars for them.
A watered down grey wash was applied to the base and a metal silver wash was used over the manhole cover.

The door and doorframe had second coats applied to them and the front steps glued to the front. The sign above the door was painted in a sand stone colour and using a fine brush, I filled in the lettering.

A black wash has also been applied to the back as well.

I have a few more finishing touches to do before declaring this project finished.

Thanks Ron.

I spent this morning cutting out windows and gluing them to my diorama.

Very nice, ran out of internet time this morning, but will definitely be sporting this on the front page soon. Awesome work on this.

Wow! That looks great. The brick work is very realistic. Great job.
