South American Church - Part 4

The church is nearing completion.

After completing the windows and doors on the rear of the buildings I textured that face.

When the modelling paste was set the whole model was painted with burnt sienna and then dry brushed white. The doors were painted a couple of shades of brown snd then washed with GW Nuln Oil. Along the edges of the detailing were I painted a fine line using Nuln Oil to provide some definition. The bell tower and porch assembly were then glued in place.

All that was to do now was to make the roof. I wanted this to be in Mediterranean tiles. Now in the past I have made these individually from epoxy putty, but this time I am going to use preformed plasticard that will save probably five hour’s work.

After fixing a thin cardboard over the roof areas and I then cut and fixed the plasticard. A crest was placed on the apex of the roof.

There was a bit of filling on the ends and when that was dry the whole surface was painted.

The last bit to do will be the roof to the bell tower. This is a really fiddly bit and may take another day to complete.
