Great stuff. Lovely tones and textures to everything.
How did you make the walls to your brothel?
Have you got a plog somewhere with WIP's of all this?
The walls are mostly carved foam.
The design is simple 'drawn' into the foam with a pen.
I do have a few WIP shots of those buildings shown so far, there are a few shots of the ground floor of the Brothel earlier in the thread.
Here are a few of the Docks, which were mostly carved from foam too...
The Dock sections, undercoated after the initial carving on the foam...
The Docks after various gradients of drybrushing...
And a couple of close-up shots showing the stonework.
I don't seem to have any of the 'napkins as water stage' but here are some of the 'water' painted.
The gaps are where the original resin pieces will slot in.
The 'water' was quite simple.
Some suitable paper napkins were found, kitchen roll would have worked just as well, but finding kitchen roll without a pattern embossed in it is quite difficult. The napkins I chose just had small dimples embossed and these would work just fine if they showed after painting.
The surface areas that were due to be the 'water' were painted with watered-down wood glue and the napkins placed on and then just pushed around with a wet brush until I got the effect I was looking for, to attempt to simulate waves or ripples.
Once happy with this, it was just a case of painting another layer of watered-down glue and waiting for it to dry out.
There were a couple of areas that were built up slightly higher to represent waves splashing against the sides of the ships that would be glued in place later.
The whole thing, once dry, was then painted Humbrol Black-Green.
On top of this a coat of Windsor and Newton Olive green was wetbrushed, and then a few layers with white added to the olive in increasing amounts was drybrushed on.
A final heavy wetbrush of white was added in a few areas to try and create a good effect.
Here are a couple of shots taken as they stood at this point;
You can see one of the ships in the background of this shot, as well as the fruit bowl, (the contents of which I was particularly proud of the finish on).
A couple of closer shots of individual elements;
The white area on the last picture is where one of the ships will be fixed.
After this they were all given various washes to 'dirty' them up and the resin sections were added.

Any chance we can see a group shop of a bunch of these lined up together on a table?
I will sort some out of the table at this stage later.
