I’ve started work on my Krampus Christmas diorama. Everything is now primed. I should finish off my current project on Saturday and then I can begin work on this. The walls will be off-white. I’m thinking VMC Deck tan, but I may switch to more of a cream/ivory when the time comes. The chimney will be a grey stone. The beams will be a rich dark brown. I’m not sure what to do with the roof and ceiling (Not in pic) tiles. I can’t do chess board flooring if the walls are white. I can’t do roof and floor as terracotta. I’m currently defaulting to terracotta roof, and I paint the floor a lighter grey than the chimney, possibly add splashes of Seraphim Sepia to it to suggest iron. Not sure how mdf and a wash will interact though(?), and it seems a little dull. Krampus should cover most of the floor, and I’ll likely add a sprinkling of snow coming through the fresh hole in the roof so that’ll help break it up, so long as it stands out against the grey.
Anyone got any colour choice opinions or advice? I am unfamiliar with the architecture of this period/style.
How do washes react to MDF? Do they just get soaked up and stain badly?
