Manufacturer: Sarrissa Precision
Scale: 28mm
Hi,
after publishing my thoughts on the aims in hobby for this year within the last post I decided to start reducing my personal pile of shame by finishing a Ranch from Sarrissa Precision. This project was started in May last year as you can see by following this link:

In Bavaria the Christmas time ends with the celebration day of the Three Wise Men on January 6th. I was able to use this day for doing some more work on this project. It still needs some more work but the motivation is very high at the moment to finish the ranch soon.
Here are some pictures of my latest efforts.

| The ground floor is done (background) - next step is to work on the first floor. The roof has to be done later. |

| First of all ther is a need to cover the inner walls of the ranch with some wallpapers. Therefore I searched the internet and printed some different patterns ... |

| ... and after some time of crafting this ... |

| ... becomes to this. |

| This has been very time consuming. |

| But i love the result. |

| Next step is to paint all these walls. |

| A first try on a smaller part to check if the colors fit with the colors of the ground floor that I painted several months ago. |

| Now the window has to be painted. |

| I had bought some acrylic paint markers also some months ago especially for this project. |
 |
| Before ... |
 |
... and after.
The result is good though there´s a need of painting the parts two or three times. |
 |
| Painting the other parts. |
 |
| While doing so I thought of bringing in a little more variety. |
 |
| On the groundfloor I painted the lowest beam white. |
 |
| I think it looks nicer then the top beam is also painted white. |
 |
| So - some corrections on the groundfloor had been done. |
 |
| The steps of painting the walls. |
 |
| The last step. |
 |
| And the result. |
 |
| Painting all of these parts also took a lot of time. |

| The first floor so far. |
The next steps will be to to do the roof parts that also surround the first floor. Before this step it doesn´t make sense to fix the windows.
So - hoping to be able to post part three of this WIP soon. :)
Cheers

Hi Christopher.
DeleteMany thanks for compliments. :)
Superb model making, really good job, how did you find the paint pens, I have bought a pack but yet to use them.
ReplyDeleteHI Donnie,
Deletethank you very much.
I only tried out the white paint pen yet. It was the easier way to paint the windows after I had already glued them. The pens had been easier to use here than trying to paint the windows with a brush. To be honest I did not use them for other things till now. The windows needed a second and a third layer to get the white I wanted. I will have to try the pens for other things. Maybe for painting shields?
