Got a big tin of emulsion mixed up...<br /><br />The dry brush with yellow ochre followed by another dry brush of titantium buff (creamy white) delivered the best results.<br /><br />My latest blog post on Egyptian ruins illustrate these stages...<br /><br />Good luckEric the Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679305263405486078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-8608176935241663792015-07-20T21:57:40.366-07:002015-07-20T21:57:40.366-07:00Thanks!

I didn't use pine like I normally do for the frame, I used a lighter and highly quality wood (don't recall the specific type off the top of my head) that really made it light. That being said, the sand and glue will add some weight to it ... but I don't think it will be difficult to manage at all even after that.Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-3979418457188732332015-07-20T21:48:57.122-07:002015-07-20T21:48:57.122-07:00A great start.

I guess by having them each 2x4 you make the transportation and storage mutch easier.Engelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815952011304493883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-49525414342774909952015-07-20T16:31:03.213-07:002015-07-20T16:31:03.213-07:00Agree, I've been experimenting on small sectio...Agree, I've been experimenting on small sections :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-74475067336331131412015-07-20T15:19:58.394-07:002015-07-20T15:19:58.394-07:00Looks great...practise loads to get the right colo...Looks great...practise loads to get the right colour for desert...it took me five or six attempts before I was happy...Eric the Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679305263405486078noreply@blogger.com
