ERK Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Hi all, work is still continuing on this - I have so far completed the Farmhouse with a partial interior and Three KGL 5th firing from the dormer windows, it was then buttoned up - flashing was added to the roof joint and around the chimney stacks - it was then weathered a little before I moved on to the Piggery. After finishing the house I have now moved on to the stables. Erk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERK Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi all, a bit more progress - after finishing the barn - next stage was the front of the wall containing the dovecoat entrance/duck pond and side wall with cut out brick sections firing holes. The gates are being displayed open to show the KGL rushing the French in a counter attack, So here is the dovecoat entrance. Erk. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERK Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Next on my build plan is the duck pond and walled area - first the brick cut outs (that the 2nd KGL had hacked out using thier bayonets) these were painted the same way as my other brick work except I was able to detail the bricks inside the wall, then the walls were painted/detalied and weathered.

ERK Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Next and bringing my build up to date - the pond, this has a cardboard cutout of the edging slabs - but to give the pond some depth I cut out the shape of the pond in the MDF base then trimmed it so the slabs slighty over hang the pond. So I have my pond shape then glued the slab area then when set - I glued a sheet of paper underneath to act as a bottom to the pond, this was then painted to represent a dirty pond, next comes the interesting bit - I decided to have a go at that Acrylic Water Gel medium (I have never tried this before) it comes in a pot and is like PVA in consistency, it can be diluted with water though toget a better flow. So I poured some into to the pond to roughly the level I wanted and it was put away in the unit for a day as 24hrs is recommended. It had set nicely (I Foregot - I had even put some bricks in to simulate some that had fell into the pond from the wall). Next job was to paint and detail not only the edging slabs but the pond base area then wash and dust it using my dry brush technique. This is the current state of play.

ERK Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Evening all, more progress - I have added a couple of firing stages made from the kitchen tables and benches, and it would be rude not to add a few 2nd KGL firing from behind the wall - its a start.

ERK Posted September 9, 2021 Author Share Posted September 9, 2021 Evening all - some more progress - more details and KGL have been added around the pond, I have also fitted the main floor piece and started detailing it including a section of rough lawn that was near the stables.

ERK Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 A bit more progress - starting to populate LHS with some figures - they are charging through the front gates after they were opened, to chase and attack the French who where retreating due to an attack by the British Hussars.
