That's really nice. Excellent gradient work.

Geez Louise, that's spectacular. Do you mind if I share the photos on the Dedham Pond page? I'll credit you as the painter. No worries if you'd rather I not.

Superb work, love the light effect and eerie glow on the wall! I have this kit in my display, it's a superb bit of styrene and having now seen yours, would like to add a back wall as it holds everything together so well. What did you use tot create the textured bricks, they look ver effective :D

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul - I reversed a 1/24 scale A4 brick wall scene from a doll house. - the reversed texture was then cut into sorta' rough non-uniform squares and placed on a piece of plasti-card. then painted - nothing fancy? :D
