Finally, some good mortar lines!
Added 2024-06-19 21:48:07 +0000 UTCMy friends, I finished the barn door and the enameled signs are such a wonderful detail! And they’re such a pleasure to weather! The while door is pure happiness condensed into a small model on its own 😊
But the real win this time are the mortar lines. I think I finally nailed the look of spilled mortar. Each one was meticulously sculpted from acrylic wood putty, applied and shaped with a tiny brush. I then added a couple of enamel washes to add shadows around them, and white acrylic to bring the color back.
I also aged the concrete with various brown, ochre and black paints stippled with a sponge over chipping fluid, worn down and adjustef with enamel washes.
I just need to finish the wooden beams and the wall will be finished. Then it’ll be time to give the rest of the wooden details the same treatment 😁
