Canal walls so far for the World War 2 Narbonne France, Canal de Robine scene. I added some effervescent White marking and staining with age and elements) to the bricks and a bit of weathering. But not quite there yet. Tonight I'll be adding some algae and a murky waterline to the bottom areas of brick concrete base of the walls.. I will also add some mildew/moss/and some vines to random areas above that line. There will be a brelass railing all along the top of the walls and then I will add the canals water with a resin pour. I never know when to finish these things so... More coming

Street sign with the real towns and directions pointing and actual distances from Narbonne France along the canals bank... It is made of brass I had to bend shape and build, and it was a bitch! I replaced the signage that it came with because the towns on them were on the northern side of France and one was Belgium...lol so I made my own on the computer . I also built painted and placed some old European style fire hydrants and street light poles. Much more to go

I’m definitely digging this color scheme! The walls have two base coats of Hunterline Driftwood stain and one coat of Cottage White stain on top. Windows are just acrylic white. I think that’ll do! Now I’ve only got about 100 more windows to glue into the other walls! 🤣

Toying around with some lichen, moss and vegetation around the manhole area of the road. Testing some s**t out. Will add or remove as I need to suit the eye.

Ok so on the 1/35 scale world war 2 liberation of southern France diorama, I've filled the cobblestone cracks with sand and sealed them. Then I used homemade washes of acrylics in light mud tones and darker burn umber... Finally with a fine tip brush I added a wash of brown black in-between cracks where water would run to or pool up in like around the storm drains, manhole covers and rain spouts on the building. Next I will add some fine loose stone and rubble, city dirt and dust especially a long curbs, and grass, moss, and dried weeds in the cracks again near areas of dampness... Then some grass and weeds in random spots on sidewalks and the street .. there is so so so much more to do...lol

Got the sidewalk painted and wasn't sure how the diamond pattern would look when I carved them... But now I'm very glad I did. Was nervous about it. For s**ts n giggles I quickly set the two buildings in place and put out the hand painted figures and details I did some time ago for this, just to get a quick visual and then put them all away again as I have so many more things to add and grout for the sidewalks and streets, weathering, and more figures to paint etc etc... but it's starting to get personality and life... Much more to come

Update on the World War 2 diorama: after hand carving the appropriately 2200 cobbles of the cobblestone street, I have hand painted them various dark and warm greys in four or five different shades... Next they will get a diluted acrylic wash of burnt umber to help tie them together a bit... Then onto painting those super dark sidewalks a lighter color of stone and concrete colors.. more to come as it progresses

While adding trees to the hillside I’m trying to create a heavily wooded area an the one thing I notice when up in the woods myself is the emergence of younger trees. So while I’m adding plenty of big tall trees, I think it’s important to make sure there are also plenty of younger trees trying to make their way up off the forest floor! You don’t often see a forested area that is completely without saplings and growing trees unless it’s been cleared or has a very heavy canopy. So little trees are being added!

Progress on the layout! Brett’s been adding scenery and trees to his woods on the hillside of the layout and he added the abandoned water tower which sits in the shadows of the newer water tower on top of Varga Falls. There’s WAY more scenery, detail parts and structures to add to this backwoods scene but it’s moving along now!
