Great idea EXO (never knew that before) - I have created a Gallery and uploaded my images and will try to link them into the body of the post from now on. Yay! I got another 3 hours in today... however most of that was trying to clean up the debris and cobwebs from my bench's lack of use;-) I finally have a decent space to work in now and I hope to keep it going (although all my glues and supplies have dried out and I have to go on a shopping trip next weekend to replenish my supplies). I just basically masked all the areas with very thin cut masking tape I wanted the tan ground to be and sprayed for the concrete surfaces and the centre asphalt road strip. I mixed Neutral Grey with Medium Blue (Tamiya colours) for a slightly bluish hue to the background to better blend in with the bluish background to be printed behind the city This is the first shot after I removed the masking. Next I handpainted some of the details with Tamiya Tan for the stadium (I know its not as orange, but I thought it was a little more realistic) and light grey and dark grey for the various buildings to make them stand out. I'll do the parks and water features once I pay a visit to the hobby store to get some of that landscaping flox material for the tress and shrubery. I don't want to paint the grass until I get the landscaping material to make sure the greens work together. So here's the last shot with the city component placed back into the leg to see. Hopefully see you next week ;-)
