The Romsey Modeller - Romsey Modellers

Additional highlights were added in Chainmail. I used a light drybrush of Vallejo Sand to bring out more details
and lined the edges of the planks with Nuhn Oil.
That’s finished the wardrobe. If only all
DIY was that easy!
The top sheet and pillow on the bed were painted Bleached
Bone – I don’t think they had ‘whiter than white’ washing
powder in medieval times! I gave it a thinned sepia wash and
mixed white to bleached bone to blend it all together and make
it paler but not white. I fancied a bit of colour so painted the
bottom sheet light blue with white highlights.
The rug was painted Vermin Brown with a black ink wash and
drybrushed with Dark Flesh which has a red tint to give it a bit of
contrast to all the brown wood. I then gave the edges a dry
brush with bleached bone – purely by accident as I was
drybrushing the sheet – oops but it doesn’t look too bad.
As I was doing the table I also painted some of the accessories I
bought form Maxmini. The parchment on the table, the skull and
all the candles were painted as per the bedsheet but with added
earthshade ink to give a darker shadow where needed. I painted
the extra the details – quill, wax stamp and ribbons and they
were done. I doubt I’ll use all the candles but they’re painted if
needed. I also painted a metal chest I had spare too at this point.
Next month – DIY SOS – finding a cooker and starting the interior painting. And I might knock up a bookcase if
there is room.
