building update

This is the guard shack that will stand beside the tower when it's done.
The building is not complete, but I've got most of it done so I thought it might be ok to use the pic to show the progress since the last post.
This building can also be on top of the tower, but I think it looks better standing beside the path leading up to the door of the tower.
At the moment I have primed the guard shack and the temple, and have gotten the roofs on the buildings. The chapel has been modified so I could have both an attic window and a chimney. This also helped me plug the hole in the roof that was designed to be damage. With a hole in the roof people would be able to look in to the building, and then I would have to do something with the interior. Instead I closed up the windows by gluing dark yellow paper behind the open window holes. This has two functions: 1 - it creates the impression that there is a light inside, and 2 - it prevents people from looking in and seeing that the building is an empty shell.

The remaining steps on the building now is to drybrush the walls with a darker grey to create some texture on the walls. Already I have painted the cracks in the wall and the space between the bricks and tiles black to create the impression of shadows and give some depth, but when I drybrush the walls they will look much more like a normal wall and not like a flat surface.
The roofs and the big wood parts (roof and pillars on the watchtower) will be drybrushed with light brown to create the impressoin of wood.
Also I will add some fine static grass to the lower parts of the walls to create some moss to make it seem like the buildings are rather old.
