SFX015 - Brownstone Rows

So after a brief hiatus, lets address the first set of buildings built from the BfE event board, the Brownstone Rows.

These were done first for a number of reasons, however the main one was that they were simple builds that were able to be a simple test bed for the method of painting the buildings to actually get a reasonable finish without spending a lot of time on them (example shown below)

Red walls & white roof

The above picture only shows one of the buildings, but the principle was the same for all of them.  Each was painted with spray paints to achieve a quick and easy finish, with the roof done a different paint colour to the walls.

The colours used for the walls were Halfords primers (Red and Grey) and Army Painter Primer (Leather Brown).  The roofs were done with Halfords (White and Grey) and Plastikote Primer (Grey).
The vent's and aircon's on the roof were done using GW's Lead Belcher spray.

Here are the finished buildings:

The buildings haven't been glued together to allow them to be stored flat-pack when necessary.  Also, any weathering will be done once all the buildings in the set are built (so possibly never!) in order to try and ensure a consistent level of weathering that is easier to achieve if doing the lot in one go rather than in batches.

Given the Brownstone Rows are only £10 RRP, it is feasible that a further set may make an appearance once the majority of the event set is complete, and definitely when going from a 4' x 4' to a 6' x 4' layout.

So there they are, a simple and quick set that probably only took a couple of hours to get to an entirely reasonable tabletop quality.

Until next time Commanders ...
