Steve is well on the way to finishing the graphic design on the Setting The Scene volume 3 Road to Dombas book. Unfortunately, I have thrown a spanner in the works and delayed this slightly by giving him more work to do. I have added more material to the book in the form of a scratch built model of a typical Norwegian timber house with red painted wood and turf roof which is common in this part of the world.
I have also gone through the stages on painting and weathering the building using the Hairspray Technique, to pack in as much content into the book as possible and give the reader another tool to go in their model making tool box.
For more information on volume 1 or 2 of Setting the Scene or if you would like to register interest in this, volume 3, please leave a comment on Steve's webpage.

Cheers Ross, much appreciated.
DeleteSome lovely buildings there and the splash of subtle colour works a treat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, it certainly breaks up all that white.
DeleteGood looking pictures! Good luck with this volume, I really enjoy my copy of the Mediterranean terrain. Now I’m just buying my time for a book dedicated to North America. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew, glad you like the Mediterranean book. Don't hold your breath with a North American book but then, who knows whats around the corner.
DeleteAnother superb effort! Hairspray technique? Now I am curious...guess I won't get the answer until I buy the book 8D
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, I believe the hairspray technique is usually used for weathering vehicles but I thought I would give it a go on buildings.
DeleteLovely look Pat. I like the desaturated look of the terrain - it fits very well with the winter theme.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt, glad you like.
ReplyDeleteExcellent as always..one tinsy thing. No snow on the roofs. because it would be difficult to remove ?
ReplyDeleteJust a mo. I know why no snow on the roofs. They have the heating on :-) Which says to an approching enemy "someone´s at home!!"
DeleteThanks Paul. Using the clear acetate for the temporary snow effects would work but it's just me being lazy.
DeleteThanks Paul,Using clear acetate with the temporary snow effects would work but it is just me being lazy.
DeleteBeautiful stuff as always Pat! Do get any time to play games anymore?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jay. Same for everyone, covid 19 has had its effect but I am gaming in a very small bubble and have just finished playing the Road to Dombas campaign.
DeleteLovely Pat, must resist doing winter terrain, but you are making it harder
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Cheers Matt.
ReplyDeleteThis will be another stonker Pat! You're really making it hard *not* to give in to temptation and do some Norwegians.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick, thinking about it, I should have got you to paint the Norwegians which would have been the icing on the cake for the book.
DeleteWhat a magnificent looking 'scene'!
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks James, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGreat setting! Really beautiful and realistic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you like.
DeleteThat is a very nice model of a Norwegian building - will certainly add to the attraction of your book I am sure!
