First test for a Southwest Adobe Walls building in 1:48

[LLOYD]

Howdy Compadre,


I started by making a base in foam board!
I dug some holes, to place wood and apparent bricks, in then filling these places with plaster to engrave bricks........

[LLOYD]

with plaster for carving the bricks........

[Ray Dunakin]

Looks like you're off to a good start!

[LLOYD]

Thanks Ray,

After carving bricks, to imitate the rough coats damages and cracked, I used putty used by the coatchbuilders, the only problem is the gray color!
To improve the relief, wall them its past with the sandpaper.

[LLOYD]

For painting, I started with a diluted layer of matt white Tamiya subdue, once dryness, I painted with matt humbrol very diluted with mineral spirit, yellow # 63 and brick # 70!
Some shade with alcohol and black ink!

I think that I will lighten the bricks!
Sincerely!

Lloyd

Very nice! Makes me want to do an adobe structure for my layout, if I can find a place to fit it in.

[LLOYD]

Hello Ray,

I think that a building in adobe, will be look perfect on your G scale layout!
In this scale you can probably cast the wall in plaster or cement.

Sincerely!

Lloyd
