Nice one Alex. I made a 15mm house recently and painted the Lower edges of the roof black to simulate guttering and then glued pieces of plastic coated wire painted black running from the gutter down the wall for the drain pipes at the front and back. It looks quite effective.
Another solid video. I have found that with pre-coloured MDF, from 4Ground for example, buildings look too pristine as they lack this kind of weathering. I like your texturing stage here but do you think it could work on a pre-paint? I guess finding a close matching colour to dab onto the textured sections would be key. Thanks again, Mr 5,000-plus.
Thank you! It's hard to say, with a prepaint I'd be tempted just to use the washes and weathering powders, which would certainly add some points of interest. Finding the right colour of grout may be difficult as it's usually white anyway. You may be able to recolour it with a dye perhaps, but that may solidify it instead.
Never thought of using Tin Foil for the roof leading, even when I have done complete roofs using tin foil corrugated sheets I always used paper! Thanks for the tip!
I have found that some newer 15mm buildings often do look seem larger than in years past. However, looking at the scale of the doorways in this model and comparing it to 15mm figuresit does look like the larger buildings are "truer" - although that will create a somewhat larger "footprint" on the table, especially if you have several of them.
Great little instructional video.
Thank you! 👍
Great video and lovely kit.
Thank you!
Once again a super paint job and great technic, very informative 😃 lovely building, ready for/to see the battlefield🤓
Thank you so much 😀
Geez - your work is amazing. The buildings and videos.
Thank you very much!
Really nice techniques and end building. Not heard of Flory before but I’ll give them a look. This is going to look great on the table
Thank you, the Flory washes are the best on the market IMO. Well worth investing in.
Great video - I will be stealing some of these techniques for my 15mm Stalingrad board - great job Alex!
Cheers Miles, I'd be honoured if you used some of my techniques!
Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thanks for watching!

Cheers Ken!
Nice work
Thank you!
Love the tilers grout effect
Cheers, that came from Luke at Geek Gaming, I can't claim it as my own!
Great tutorial. I have some MDF buildings I must get round to painting up and there’s definitely some ideas here I can use. 🙂
You're welcome!
great tutorial. Thank you!
You're welcome!

Hi, can you please tell me what you are using as foliage on the buildings at the end?
Its just some railway modellers foliage stuff that I picked up years ago. I can't remember what it's called unfortunately.
very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!

You're welcome. It's a nice material to work with and looks slightly more 'realistic' than paper, which I've used myself in the past.
May I point out that this house looks way bigger than 15mm.There.
