Hi guys,

I know that many don't visit the watery place that often, but I have some progress shots of the Lighthouse over on Shipwrights.

Like some feedback on the large stone colour - I have some a blueish colour and some other a brownish colour. Do they look real?

Also do you think the paperstone works?

Lots to do yet but I've given it a coat of paint to get a feel for how it might look.

Thoughts and comments welcome. If you could add them to the original post it will save me hopping about.

Cheers

Al

Hi Al,
As i mentioned elsewhere, this project is really starting to come to life in a big way.
The tower is going to stick out like a sore thumb, but i guess after a some darkwashes it sould flatten out a little!
Thx for the make of the figures,
Cheers,Shay

Hi Shey,

Wasn't sure about the tower. Original concept was and probably still is to paint it in stone, but I wanted to see what it might be like with some colour on and maybe help give some concept to the building.

Glad to help with the figs, looking forward to developments on the canal.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Some new pics of the developments on the building towards the end of the post.

Still a lot to do but I think it's starting to look pretty good?

Cheers
