So here is another one to tour with today's scale guide "Wilhelm". The 20mm bases on these Mordhiem models really works well with the TTW proportions.
As usual there is a profusion of Secret Weapon washes and some flowers from Army Painter.
I've been getting better at these buildings and repetition has lead me to experiment with improvements and new techniques while trying to remain thematically consistent with the earlier buildings.
I tried a variation on roof color to indicate a more run down condition. The gray stone is also a different color build that resulted in a more cartoony, and slightly brighter, look. Insofar as the working name for this little burg is "Greystone Quay" the slight variation of stone coloring might be ill advised!
The roof is in the same tradition established with the other cottage... not too colorful. The first cottage was a weathered brown while this one is more unfinished color-wise. It turns out that the contrast between the roofing tiles and the sub-roof is not as pronounced in this scheme. After I let it sit in with the rest of the houses I'll decide if I like the look. This roof would be easy to re tint to a higher contrast color if I decide I want to go that route.
One area of real improvement is the "Warm Glow" windows. I've been improving this over time and its become a lot less random. I like this rendition of it pretty well. The interior blue glass treatment is also improving but has a little bit farther to go before I'm happy with it.
As always comments are welcome!
