Very nice Larry,

Never used chalk to paint figures.  Your figures look great.  The scene looks great also.

WOW! Just chalk is amazing!

Thank you Philip. I use Rembrandt brand from Blick.com because they're soft, scape well, and the coverage is good.

Thanks Ron. I scape some on my work surface then dip a brush in clear alcohol then mix with the chalks. I usually get good coverage on one try with the brush plus it's thin enough so it doesn't hide the details. After it drys it leaves a "flat" finish then I take and dry brush some black over the clothing wrinkles to bring out the details. Glad you like the scene.

I know man! I have the list you gave me! I'm using inferior stuff from micro-mark.

I have 5 or 6 3D printed figures that I will try your method on.

Curt good luck with the process. I usually spray paint on a thin coat of grey primer first; this gives the chalks and clear alcohol mixture something to cling too. It may be a little "trial & error" to get the mix right plus you can always go over an area a second time to get the coverage if need be.

Would it be possible to get a copy of the "list" ?

Started on some scenery work and decided to do something a little different on the back since it's such a small space. Glued in 3 weed patches then went with just a grassy area on both sides of the doorway and added only dirt in the doorway. Probably not going to add any details back here other than something in the doorway.



As I built the deck area, and to get the building to fit properly, I ended up with a small gap between 2 of the boards. To rectify the situation I placed a small amount of glue in-between then added some very fine turf. While it's not a big thing I knew it was there and wanted to fix it.



Here's an end view with the newly added scenery. I'll transition from just grass to a mix of grass and dirt across the green foam area.



Added a drum from Sierra West in the 2nd floor just to give a reason for the area and for the hook & rope; not a lot just a little something. The boat details will be here some time next week so for now I'll continue working on the side of the building scenery wise. I need to add a set of stairs to get from the dock area down to the lower level. Thanks for stopping by and leaving all your great comments and/or suggestions.

Howdy Larry,

The scene is evolving well with details and a background story.

Have fun,

Larry, you're making good progress.
