Are you sure you're not NightShift in disguise? They sure look good!

Thanks PorcoRosso. Now, the house, it won’t be war torn but it won’t be a picture postcard house either. Made from styrofoam, the slate roof is just cut up cardboard. I carved out the brick wotk with a pencil and then pressed them down. I used VMS cement grey pigment to cover the plaster part. I will paint this in pink or yellow or both next.  Windows and doors are ready to be stuck on at the end. |

Just been listening to Toots and the Maytals version of Country Road (YouTube it) while painting this. Got a really good feeling about this one.  |

Thanks Paul and PorcoRosso.  Thinking now, though, the two tone house might be better. |

It will give it more character I think Tommy.

Thanks Paul and PorcoRosso. I have started weathering now and it is looking a lot better. I think two tone is more French, to be honest.
Let’s see how it goes. I can easily paint it again.

That looks great, and I have seen plenty of two tone houses in Italy during my travels.
