Get out one Viv here. I hope you're all keeping well. Welcome back time for another MDF painting tutorial. This time I'm painting up a very simple building in a Middle Eastern or a Mediterranean style scheme. It could have been loads better if I spent a little bit of extra effort on my sort of pre-paint steps but you know we'll talk about some of those as we get into it. Alright let's jump into this and have a look. So I'm working on three models here for a little set that I'm undoing and the first step is to use some of this granite effect from Juleux as I do in many many of these you know undetailed tubularized buildings just giving us something to work with a little bit of texture to help come through later on. As always a flat black spray. This time I'm using squirts, the Painting Prime. This is a very nice paint and I do like it. Again we get this from Bunnings here in Australia. I am working on three different models during this process but I think I end up switching to one. It's lovely to have a hairdryer on hand. It just makes things a lot quicker and a lot simpler. Inca Brown this time from MTN94 from Monkana's Ranger Paints. They're MTN94 paints. I'm not painting the inside of these buildings but I do go ahead and spray some of the sections that you'll see when you're looking up underneath the model. For example that bountymies area. I like dust with start-up spray. Again as you can see in many of the tutorials that I've done with just dusting. Just putting on you know progressive layers of paint and allowing other layers to show through so we're getting that tonal variation happening. I love these stains. These are from Cabots. They're a water-based interior stain for wood and I just brush it on with an old brush and then using some tissue paper or my finger. You know just spread them you know mop it around. You do get a little bit of time to work with this. I do apply it neat and sometimes I use water. It just depends on you know what sort of effect that you want with this. It's quite a messy process but it's good fun. You know this is really where we start to see the model in terms of it's whether in come to life. I'm using this same walnut for all the streaking and any grime and just work in small sections. Spread it around you can always mop it up with that tissue and apply more if you want to. It's a fun step. It's a fun process and you know it works very very well. I really enjoy using these. The streaks I just put a little bit at the top and then just drag it down with my finger and spread it out with the paintbrush and you know it works very well. If you wanted you know a higher contrast you know you used a smaller brush and you could actually paint directly on with this stuff neat. I don't thin it down at all and I you know I'm just going all around all the areas of the model where I think you know they would look good where there should be grime where there should be streaks. You know coming down from the roof underneath windows all that sort of business. It's a super fun step and I really enjoy it. I want to do something about the roof so I cut up some strips of corrugated card. This is just from the art supply store about three centimeters thick and I went ahead and then cut them into six centimeter lengths. I had to quickly give my you know my cutting mat clean. I couldn't see any of the lines on there but I'm measuring out six centimeters there and I cut them into six centimeter strips like I just mentioned. I think I might cut a few more of these and make them into a little pile sitting behind one of the buildings like some sheets that they haven't used and now begins the drummer of putting these onto the roof. Now it makes way more sense to go from bottom to top so bottom do all the way along the roof then do the middle strip then do the top strip. The way that I've done it here you know you'll see I end up having to peel the next all the middle row up so I can put that piece under and it doesn't matter how many times I told myself not to do this. I keep on doing it now you can see here now I'm going to do the next row whereas I should have finished you know all the way across across the bottom first then done the middle then done done the top but it's just a matter of cutting out you know the little areas to notch around that little roof bit it's not really a dormer is it and and gluing the card on you know quite a simple process you know it's not entirely realistic I would prefer to have some actual corrugated material which can overlap properly this has a flat back on the back of it. Right onto painting I don't use any metallics on the roof I use this colour from Julek's tea house and I just put blobs of paint onto the roof and then thin it with that water that you can see there just to help it flow obviously these house paints are quite thick I just put blobs on and wet my brush and then brush it around it makes it a lot easier to get that paint where I need it to be without having to have too much paint on the roof. I don't let this dry I go straight into the next colors burnt sienna and yellow ochre I basically put dobs of this all over the building or all over the roof using the burnt sienna and then the yellow ochre I put a little bit of that orange yellow in that mix as well and I grab a sponge and I you know tear a bit off and then I sponge it all around to blend it all in and you know keeping your mind that the roof is still a little bit wet that all of this is slowly slowly slowly bending together. Once this is done I do go ahead and dry the roof with a hairdryer I probably didn't dry it enough because when I'm applying again this walnut decking stain to the model some of this gets out of shot here for a little bit while I'm you know working on that that dormal window I just doing my weathering on there before I get onto the roof when I did end up applying this to the corrugated card it did blend a little bit and you know you can see I just put some dobs on there and then with water just thin it out quite heavily into almost like a wash while it's on the model and and then you know it's some of the colors did blend you know I probably could have waited a little bit longer before I went ahead and put that decking stain on the roof. To help try and fix that up I went back with some of that teahouse and just dry brushed over the roof a little bit again trying to you know just blend things together and then I went back with some pure yellow waker and just put some dots around the place a little bit of dry brushing you know putting some you know this is going on knee into the corners and you know just to help you know highlight that rust and I think it's come up really really nicely it's a very simple job I probably spent all up maybe 40 minutes working on this model altogether maybe 45 you can see the joins then now this is what I was talking about before you know applying some wood filler some wood putty just to fill those joins would have made this model look way better and you know we'll talk about that in another video later on but overall you know I'm quite happy it looks very very nice and it looks like it has been sitting in the middle of a village or out in a fuel for quite some time so there we go nice quick simple little tutorial again using spray paints for most of our job it makes it very very quick and simple you know use spray paints you know would you like to see tutorials that I do with a brush would you like to see tutorials done with an airbrush let me know what you would like me to show you you know like I said at the beginning we've got over 400 different models in the range from nights of dice I'd quite happily get back into doing some scratch builds I've been collecting boxes and boxes of recycling and I you know I really want to do some more scratch builds so you guys let me know in the comments below what you would like to see from me this year it doesn't need to be stuff from nights of dice rep it doesn't need to be you know it can be anything you know I'd really just want to you know start you know engaging with that creative passion that I've really been missing for so many years so let me know what you guys want to see I'd love to make it I'll catch you soon say yeah
