All three of them have the window and door add on sets
Can you elaborate on that?
I have looked at their website, and the pictures, and I believe Colonel Bill's is stocking them at Salute.
However is it fairly flat or do the beams actually stand out a bit?
You mentioned 'render' so I assumed you added it between the beams?
I think on another forum I saw oneof their buildings where someone had added a 'balsa beam' on top of the existing beam - to give more depth.
The beams actually sit back a little as they are etched out. This is actually more in keeping with some of the genuine buildings
From my nerdy research when looking at painting stuff, it seems to be that in most cases the buidings with more prominent frames are mock Tudor, and the wood was added after the fact to make the building look Tudor.
Although I was contacted by a pub just outside Manchester who was looking at putting on a show to celebrate their 400th anniversary, and they have a genuine Tudor building with a mock tudor facade
Yes, I added base render between the beams to give a bit of texture to add depth when painting.
This one has been made from taking one of the base “silhoutte” (no etched grain) buildings and adding balsa to it. Thatch made from a towel
