Weathering BAR109 Farmhouse Ruin (1 Viewer)

[lenswerks]

My BAR109 was very dark, much darker than the flyer photo. So I used a weathering technique to change the look a little.

I used Vallejo Tan Yellow for the walls and German Uniform for the wood trim. For the roof I used artist oil out of the tube - Vermillion Red.

Vallejo Model color is rarely used right out of the bottle so you mix a few drops of water - maybe a 1:2 ratio. I used a white cotton sox to pick up some paint, rub it on and rub it right back off, rubbing with some vigor. Repeat until you get the effect you want. Use a Q-Tip instead of a rag to apply wash in the tight places. Do the walls first.

Colors are a might better in front of you as compared to the photo.

If you have a BAR109, take a look and compare to my re-weathered one.

So now the structure has IMO more character and brings some of the detail out – What do you think – Good – Bad – Indifferent?

I think you have done a very good job, particularly on the roof.

Both look really good, the farmhouse looks even better than it first did.
