Thank you guys for the kind words!......and thumbs

You did a great job on this building. What did you use for the roof, it's very realistic.

I used chipboard painted with acrylics and some inkwash:

I ordered a couple of large sheets years ago. I was going to use it as a "cardboard" base for my structures, but it was too thick to try and cut window and door openings in. I have since used it as a cutting board. I draw on it too and layout framing and such. If you look hard at the roof pic above, you can make out some of the slices left behind by my utility knife....just adds character .


I usually use styrene, wood or stiff cardboard covered with sandpaper and painted with acrylics.

Sandpaper roof:


I ran out of sandpaper this time around, and had to use what was available
