Bringing Port Ebby to life

Site update

When I last posted, I was in the midst of packing to move. The grand move is over and I am sad to report I haven’t be to my work bench yet. BUT… with the new year comes my renewed desire to get back at my project. So with that, I’ll be posting more very soon.

Photo update

Here is a quick update for some old photos. The news one are still on my camera. At this point I was still working in layers to add the colors I wanted for my brick. All together there is seven layers of paint on the market.

 

The Market

I started by base coating the building with a light tan acrylic. Over the past few weeks I have built up layers of the various colors to create a nice brink texture leaving the painting of the mortar as the last thing before I take on the window frames. I ordered a good grade of charcoal stick from an art store that I knew would give me the best shading. I’ll be posting pictures very soon.
