Oh No! Not Another One: The Farm House Diorama

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been looking for something like these for awhile now.
To fix the holes I went over the areas with a small amount of light weight spackle. Since many areas were small the best tool I for the job was my finger.

Finally I got the holes under control. After several thin applications of light weight spackle they are filled. I then repainted the road with Folk Art Wrought Iron.
I did some more coloring of the road. I poured some Folk Art Dark Gray on the road and then wiped down the road with the paint with a paper towel. I also did this with Folk Art Charcoal Gray.
Looks like I have pretty much finished the road.
I dry brushed Folk Art Amish Blue over the entire surface. Next I dry brushed Light Gray for the wheel paths. I then went over it with a wash made from Folk Art Licorice. Lastly I used a wash of India ink and alcohol.

I finally got around to doing some work on the diorama. I added some Earth turf around the road and along the ditch. The house shown is the Model Power built-up that will be the farm house. It just there for looks right now.
It has been a while since I posted anything here. Well I finally finished something worth posting. I am almost finished upgrading the farm house.
I started with a Model Power Built-up. I repainted it and added window glazing. I then painted curtains and blinds in the windows. I also added detail parts such as a light and electric meter.
Next will be some weathering.

Wow that looks great Tom. :thumb: Where do you get those Folk Art paints? They really look good.
It's amazing how much better the farm house looks when the shiny plastic look is gone. Nice job.

Thanks!
Using Sculpta-mold I smoothed the base areas for the barns. I also added some rock faces behind the barns.

I have finished painting the ground with Folk Art Honeycomb.
I am also using the photos to track down those areas I missed.
Next rock coloring and road building.

I extended the road past the diorama using Woodland Scenics Smooth-it. I have to smooth out some bumps in the road and add things like cracks.
