Question
would the tower look better lighter in colour or is it ok ,honest opinion i know I have been left good feedback already but I am unsure need your help

 

[grumpa]

What I would do is give it a thin black/brown "dark wash" to settle into wood grain, then dry/brush lightening layers of brown till you get it where you like it

This is the guard house and checkpoint for outside the prison gates
I hand painted the strips instead of using decals
This is now finished what's your thoughts on this cheers Stu

Little update
Done my first ever guard dog not the easiest thing but I think it's turned out ok
What's your thoughts be honest

 

[spanner570]

My thoughts?
Very nicely posed. Perhaps a collar and lead?

Also, how about a touch of darkish pink to the dog's mouth and tongue too?

Looking good, Stuart.......

Hi Ron thank you for your kind feedback and advice.
The figure is not the one that goes with the dog just put as a pose.
The correct one dose come with a lead I think not sure as I did this dog first from diff kit.
Defo add one if not and the touch of pink

 

[spanner570]

Glad to help.

I think the figure looks really nice looking down at the dog. It gives just that little bit of 'humanity' in what is an awful place.

You convinced me will attach a lead
