It went together in under 10 minutes. Once the PVA had set , it was given a coat of Humbrol dark earth, and then I used a heavy dry brush of a Carmine Red, window frames were done in a cork brown colour. Some thinned flat red was used on the sign front to brighten it a little.
Also I had picked up a set of Renedra plastic tents - for the town edges - or the pox tents! ,these were undercoated a flat earth colour , given a brown wash and then just highlighted up with lighter browns. The telegraph poles were just given a spray of the brown and then given a drybrush in a sand colour. In addition they were mounted on 25mm washers to give a bit of weight too.
This is a nice piece and the tents were a great buy. Nice to see you getting back to your Westerns Dave.
