I love that damp mossy effect climbing up the walls, and the color variety and dirt on the bricks really gives the building character- truly jaw-dropping. Have you ever thought of doing 'step by step' photos Rafal? I reckon there would be a whole lot of people (including myself) who would love to see how you go about creating various effects.

Yo Rafal,

Seems that the mini art leftovers are very handy here

Very nice work on the walls, spot on work!

How do you fix the white color between the red bricks? Airbrushing first?

Rafal, the interior of the building really is fantastically done- I love the rat on the rafters- the suitably dirty workshop really comes together and I think the color you've chosen for the workbench works very well. The metal finish you have on the Bren gun and other bits and pieces is brilliant. The color you've managed to inject into the figures is good aswell, its nice to see all those colors as opposed to usually very muted tones consistent with camouflage and field grey etc. Nice work mate!

Hi Rafal. I really like how you painted up the items in the dio. The 251, the shed and the figures all look great.
Unusual to see train tracks stopping dead next to a pavement?

Thanks my friends.
Frank.
Right, but you have to take into consideration that this type of "flowers" appear to present days. Even in my neighborhood already closed tram rails leading to nowhere, come out from under the asphalt, which was flooded with paving stones along with tram rails.

Model glued to the base, added a few crates and other details, a lot of work to do....

Yo RJ,

Nice story as the figies take place on the dio...

The colors of the figies are so full of live...oil paint?
