Thanks people, great to have you along as we venture yet again into unknown territory. Scared, or what?...I am!
Yes, I know the sun's out, but I couldn't resist a play!!
This is the first wash of green and brown shed paint over the polystyrene, don't waste yer money on expensive modelling paints, get into the shed!
See how with just mixing the paints, various shades are obtained. Less grass where the stairs are.

The well used kraal....

Even the rough saw cuts come up fine....a happy accident yet again, I love it when this happens.
See how the bit in front of the walls is far too dark? It looks more like a shallow lake! Don't worry if something similar happens to you. Wait until it dries and go over it with a light green or similar.
The stone ridge is roughly where the mealie bags etc. were piled up by the soldiers to form part of the outer defences.

When this dry, I'll add some sun dried yellowed patches of grass. Plenty to go at now, by jove! Muck and loads of it.....
I know I keep rattling on about this, but never fiddle with the painting of large areas...slap it on. The various wet paint shades then have time to blend into each other, thus avoiding lines of different colours.
Cheers,
Ron
