Paint used on Quatre Bras model. By Kathy Millat

Trying track down the from the farm house article.  This is want found. The solid colors are Vallejo  paints

- Clear Orange 70956 - Red 70947 - Black Grey Lifecolor Liquid Pigments - LPW 25 - Rail Dust - LPW 24 - Frame Dirt Any White Pigment - I used Mig but there are so many brands.  White is best because you can stain to the color you want. Any muddy coloured wash - these are solvent based to flow easily.  I used Mig Neutral wash but these are discontinued so AK Interactive or Ammo by Mig are similar brands.  You can make your own with white spirit and an enamel paint.  Basically, we're after dirty white spirit!

Paintin

Wh it comes to the color scheme, I used the Stoney pictures for the most part (see my report on this: https://tabletopdeutschland.com/2020/03/30/waterloo-quatre-bras-1815-teil-4/ 

). The pictures show that the buildings were whitewashed only facing the main street and that the other sides of the building had the natural color of the brick walls. The roofs were mostly covered with slate, only small outbuildings with fired roof tiles.

Paint and technique for bricks

Printing Quartre Bras in 15mm scale

 Printing Quatrebras in 15mm.The files are 3d Terrain.  Jens goes into great detail on buildings. The file sometimes need to be run through netfabb to fix some problems. 

 I had decided to print the buildings in Terracotta filament to make the buildings look like clay brick. The goal was to do a washes to bring out the color of the bricks.  When use a plaster to fill in the mortar.  Well I reader of the blog contacted to purchase the set.

1/600 scale Passaic

 This model was made by Sandy Moorman:

This model is not the Monitor! This is the USS Passaic, one of a 10 ship class that followed the Monitor. They saw a large amount of combat in a number of battles. The USS Monitor was a one-off prototype. The lessons learned from the Monitor produced the 'Passaic Class' which was larger and more heavily armed mounting 11 and 15 inch cannons ( in most of them). Other improvements were made to the ventilation system, seaworthiness- remember the USS Monitor sank in a storm within a year of her famous fight with the Virginia, and moving the pilot house from the bow to on top of the turret.

This model of the Passaic is just under 10 inches long. The waterline hull is resin and the turret, cannons, etc, are white metal. The castings of all were nearly flawless.

This was a quick assembly and then right into painting and weathering type of project. The cannons have full carriages and mount in tracks on the bottom of the turret, two figures are supplied, and the turret top is a separate piece so you can detail the inside and leave it open for dsplay

Painting

I painted it with Floquil's Grimy Black and red. A black ink wash was applied and then it was weathered with pastel chalks. Polly Scale clear flat was used a final coat.
