Scotties Rolls Royce

[JR]

Slowly getting there a few plants added and a bit more weathering to the building. I'm not 100% happy with the result so far so if anyone has any suggestions on how to give it the finished look I would love to hear from you.

I took the pictures in the sun so they are a bit washed out.

Paul, not that you need any advice, but I would start with a 400 grit sand paper over the walls to remove any out of scale lumps, then add a few cracks to the window frames and anywhere else where there is wood or damaged render, like around the area on the right lower section.Then I would apply some lighter shades of the render , cream, ivory white etc with down ward strokes with different size brushes. Once dry a very thinned black wash, and use a sponge or cloth to lighten some areas.
Think the layout is great at that angle, esp like the greenery, well the nearly alive greenery .:smiling3::thumb2:

Can you open a door I can feel the heat from here - that looks so good.

Now John's mentioned it i guess a few cracks around the missing render would look good but either way it's a lovely piece of work.

Cheers John, I will have a look at the things you mentioned. there is quite a bit of streaking but its quite subtle and can't be seen in the bright photos.

Cheers Mike talking of doors I will need to add a latch or something.

Perhaps some damaged pottery or some clutter just to bog it up a bit. :thinking: Rick H.

Hi Rick,
I was thinking of some clutter I need to look at what I have or can make.

[scottie3158]

Taking on board the advice I have been given added a few streaks and a few more details. I decided not to smooth down the plaster as I actually like rightly or wrongly the rough uneven finish.

Taking pictures out of the sun has made a good improvement, different tones stand out a lot better. Gonna look great with the roller in there.

Having seen some Eastern plastering just now on U Tube I think you are quite correct !

Agree with Mark about the new photos Paul, the tones do stand out.:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

Thanks Mark, I am fairly happy with it now.

Hi Scottie
A real treat for the eyes. Coming on so well. The colouring gives a great sense of heat and dust.
