It's been a busy week with work, so progress on building the Dutch town and painting the German's has been incredibly slow, however I did take 1/2 an hour whilst watching Euro 08 this afternoon to start the roof tiles on house 1.
Roof tiles are the bane of any large model town as there is no quick way of making them look good, so I'm using what is the quickest way I know; 1cm strips of cereal box partially cut to look like tiles and glued on in strips of 5-10 tiles at a time. Ive used this method loads of times before and when painted and weathered they they look really nice. This model will have about 2000 tiles when finished, so it will take me most of this week to get the roof completed....hopefully.
I understand from Navin at Paintedfigs.com that my British Commandos are painted and on their way back to me, so by the end of the week I should be able to post some pics of the minis in all their glory, and a review of how good their servcie is for 28mm's.
