Desert Fort & Town Walls - painting & finishing ....

Filling gaps with fine wood filler ...

Once filler dried, after sanding down as needed a base coat of paint applied..

A wash of white to tone down the base colour ...

Finishing the Town Walls...

All the wall sections were given some texture by sponging dilute white paint on ...

then added doors in towers and firing slits (paper images stuck on) and a main gate from cardboard

To finish off a variable light wash of light brown to make it look a bit weathered.....

Finishing the Desert Fort...

Used the same finishing scheme for the fort, but left off the final variable light brown wash. Instead I used the light brown wash on the interior ground surface. Added a small well made up using a spare resin casting. A flagpole holder was added, and a removal flagpole made from a wooden hibachi skewer.  

The fort with a garrison of some French colonial troops (and suitable flag)...

Now all the basic desert scenery is done, I ought to get a game going using it - I have just enough suitable figs so we'll see what I can come up with ....😊
