Saloon

Been working on this one for a while. It was actually the 1st building designed for Aetherworks but ended up taking me ages to getting around to. I experimented a bit on this one with my very old airbrush and brand new air compressor laying down the initial shading on the coloured areas of the building. I kinda went too dark though and the building was too pink rather than faded red so it took a fair few washes over the top the soften the shaded areas and to fix the colour more to my liking. After that I painted all the trim areas and door and window frames then added some good old Devlin mud for shading then drybrushed them with white. I experimented a bit in masking the building walls while doing all the drybrushing, I think it helped a bit, same goes for the floor boards which were several shades of brown. I think I may go back and put some scaled posters on the walls sometime but I'm pretty happy with the result at the moment. It looks like a good start to a street butted up against the General Store.

Outhouses

Cowboys gotta go somewhere. These are detailed up versions of the Aetherworks outhouse kit, with added planks on the outside made from cut up coffee stirrers and wood grain scored onto the planks with a sculpting tool. I've also added some rivets to the hinges area and a bit of wire for a door handle. For painting them it was basically a fair bit of drybrushing up through browns and greys to get a weathered left outside look to the wood and some badab black and devlin mud to darken the lines between the planks.
