Had this piece in my stash for what seems like ages and decided to throw some paint at it.
Originally mastered by Frerik Noordhuis, it's available through Celticwerks as a single 6" x 9" (15.2 cm x 22.9 cm) resin piece. I started by giving it a coat of Tamiya Grey Surface Primer via a rattle can. I then used a dark grey via an AB to 'colour' the cobbles - varying the amount of paint to graduate the grey. Tamiya flat earth was used to prep the dirt areas.
I then applied various washes and filters and added grass matting. I only had a 'summer' grass in my stash so sprayed it a greener shade to better represent autumn/winter. Finally, I added some pigments to represent dirt etc.
Still need to paint the base sides.

Hi Gary,
I have one of them and it is a superb piece. Frerik did an outstanding job on it.
Love what you have done with yours. Looks excellent!
Wonder what Frerik is up to, and Steve for that matter?

I have the same base from Steve. The ground work look very realistic.

Re: Cobble stone road
Steve is active on Facebook, looks like he's moving around the country for a new job. Not sure why he's no longer around here, probably no time left for anything hobby related...
