4th Dragoon – The Cafe is completed
The completed roof was glued in place on top of the cafe wall.
On the outside some ‘mud’ and ‘dirt’ and ‘mould’ and the remains of an old creeper on the wall were simulated by diluted paint and sawdust.
Inside the wall was too clean, so some slightly off white washes were painted onto the wall.
Cracks between the floor slabs were dry brushed with dark grey to tone them down and to provide shadow.
Strips of wood were glued to the wall to represent timbers, and the edges of these wooden strips were chopped about to prevent the new, square look that modern beams have.
(In the picture the Dragoon is holding his sword – but this is only temporary, it has not been glued in place yet, and nor have the table or chair been glued either).
Below is a top view showing the general lay out, however the Dragoon might be relocated closer to the window. That depends upon how I manage with modelling the serving girl.
My attempt to amke a serving girl is not going well, but watch this space.
