Put A Spot Of Paint (and some bases) On It ! Ottawa Longhouses, Part II

        Some time ago I started  building some Ottawa Longhouses for my friend Zhodani Commando. They have sat untouched for a couple of weeks now and I felt that I had best get them off the "To be painted" pile before I forgot about them entirely. As it turns out it only took a couple of hours and they were finished. The process was a progressively lighter series of drybrushing going from dark brown to a pale brown-gray and them some line work to pick out the saplings that were the outer frame. 

 

the base-coat was Krylon Dark Camouflage Green

 

 

then a heavy drybrushing with Americana Soft Black

 

 

and then a nearly as heavy drybrushing with a 50/50 mix of Soft Black and Slate Gray

 

 

this was topped with a lighter drybrushing of Medium Gray

 

 

then the sapling frame was picked out in Honey Brown and the doors painted in Lamp Black

 

The models were so light and wobbly that they would get knocked around during play 

so I decided that they needed some extra heft and went ahead and added bases
