OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

I have had this for awhile and decided it's time I get it finished. Here's a couple work in progress shots. Hudson and Allen walled farmhouse.
I am open to suggestions/tips on how to paint the window glass.
Enjoy,
Joe

Perhaps you should leave the windows black, but cover them with a hi gloss varnish or perhaps a wee white line of "shininess glinting" in the corners of the panes.
It struck me when I saw your WIP pictures that houses are dark inside until lamps are lit. Painting the glass blue as is sometimes done looks nice, but isnt right.
Anyway, tuppence worth added
All the Best

Well I went with the washed down light blue color for the windows. On the smaller ones I will just leave them black. I really don't like the sidewalk that goes around the house. I will be cutting it down a bit, adding clutter and flocking.

Done!
I threw it on a 3x3 table with the other Hudson Allen piece I own. I finished the bocage on this table just today, as well as the 28mm PzIV-H in the back (out of focus). There's also a 25mm German soldier in the back left. We are playing Normandy Firefight tomorrow so I've been busy.
Thanks for looking
Joe
