The A3 board system seems to be working but does need a few compromises. The brewery, for instance, was originally meant to be linear. All pieces on the brewery apart from the lorry are glued down; the park I've glued the fence but items like the clock and chairs are loose - I can forsee lots of variation in the future.
I've been buying various road and pavement sets for the table. However, many of these simply have the features'drawn' on in a dark sepia colour. So I bought a dark sepia marker and drew 1cm squares on the courtyard to represent 2' flags.
At the back, the paving is marked to represent cobbles.
That seemed to work, so when it came to the park I rather overdid it really... for this, I should probably have glued the grass in first, but I thought...
So, cobbles for the front and back entrances, crazy paving inside. It looks quite effective.
The side view really does show off the park to it's best advantage.
And finally a back view.
All looking really good. The drawn in stones seem to match the building style well.
ReplyDeleteVery time consuming (and boring) but I think it's worth the effort.
