15mm Adobe houses: Part 4

 The buildings are all textured by stippling a mixture of PVA and tile grout over the walls, being careful to avoid the doors and some of the features such as junction boxes, stonework or timber.  Although it's hard to see in the photographs, it does help blend everything together and hide the filler over the corner joints.

 After 24 hours drying, the houses were completely painted in white masonry paint, I think this was probably Dulux Weathershield or something similar, decanted into a smaller pot to save me having a 5 litre can on the painting desk.  This was painted smoothly onto some parts like the doors, but stippled onto the main walls to maintain the rough texture and create a contrast between the different surfaces.  It gives a really tough surface and is very opaque to give a good base for whatever colours I choose to use later.

 

Next, it will be time to add some colour.  I have a number of new tester pots to try.
