A Couple More Buildings

I got around to the last two of my Hudson and Allan buildings, using the same method as the Inn.

A small village house and a slightly more substantial building.

I went for the soft amber colour I used on the Inn, I like this, its a rich colour and think it brings the buildings to life.

This first small house is one of my favourites of the whole set, I really like all the details in the woodwork and windows. Lots of character.

Again I used natural sunlight on a bright sunny day to picture them, we don't get it that often in the grim north so taking full advantage.

I have to be honest that this slightly bigger building I don't like quite as much, I think it has a little  less character than the first one.

I have painted the roof a brown to represent wooden roof tiles rather than slate.

The moulding around the door frame is a Little poor, perhaps this is just an old mould now, it doesn't spoil the model but is noticeable. I suppose if I had worked a bit harder on it I could have repaired it but I don't think it looks too bad.

My favourite part of the second building is the chimney as I think the stone work came out quite well.

That's all the Hudson and Allan buildings I have so far but I am keen to get some of the highland stone crofts, these will be ideal for the Border Reivers, the Elizabethan Irish and my forthcoming new project for 2020.

Thanks for reading see you all soon.
