Pure Brilliant White

Himself isn’t the only one being diverted by non-NG projects this week - although mine is at least still 4mm scale.

I’ve got to the stage of refreshing the paintwork on the cottage model for my friend.

The more I looked at it the more apparent it became that the white was becoming rather dirty, so just like any real building I’m giving it a coat of whitewash.

In this case I’m using thinned Humbrol enamel so it flows better over the harling, which in model form is represented by fine ballast glued onto a styrene base.

I always have been one for doing things the hard way, but it is very effective and has stood the test of time.
