June Model of the Month
Hi All:
Below are a series of photos for June’s Model of the Month. The building is part of my Circus Ship diorama I am building. I made the roof from a heavy card stock and laser scribed the centre ridge so that is bent easily at the roof peak. Other photos illustrate how I place my laser cut cedar shakes. I like to hand paint my shakes with a base colour (rail brown on this roof). After the base coat is dry I streak with a dark brown, followed by a dark grey. Once all is dry I glue the strips on the roof. The last step is to dry brush the roof shakes. You can see how the diorama is shaping up with 4 completed buildings. I think for July I will build 1 more house and maybe the lodge … we’ll see.
