The first thing to do today was to glue on the arcade roof. Once that glue was set the next step was to texture the wall above that roof. I cut four small windows in the surface and etched a stone surround for them. I also etched in a couple of large areas of exposed brick. I left this to cure and moved onto the stables.
I quickly completed to long wall of the stable that faces the courtyard, cutting a large door, barred shut, and a small window. A small amount of damage is cut into the putty. I also textured the back wall of the courtyard, including the back gate.
That was it for the night. All of the textured surfaces facing into the courtyard are complete now
Mark,
ReplyDeleteLooking great and progressing at a great rate of knots.
Looking forward to my auxiliaries defending behind the walls, and watching Julian's
barbarians bounce!
Yep, the stable will be finished tonight and bulk of the exterior work will be done by the weekend, although there are two big walls to do on the main villa. Then its the roof...the most tedious part.
DeleteTedious to do but the tiling is so iconic.
ReplyDeleteActually Roman tiling is not as bad as more recent types. I have finished all the exterior work on the stable now and have done some of the basic roof work. You should see the results of this in Friday's post.
DeleteBetter and better...
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. By Friday the Stable will be completely finished and the main villa almost done. The goal is to have it completed by the end of the month.
DeleteBy the way, I am looking forward to the next battle report from the Riflemen.
