I'll order that Friday night.
Got the buildings. I won't say exactly how good they are, as you'll be able to check them out on Tuesday. But...they are good !
Didn't get a chance to lay them on the board as I had some rework to do after the tower arrived, and I've been testing different paint schemes for the river.
Might go with a very dark river, the Black River (not truly black, but a bit sinister), haven't decided yet.
Paul, for the basecoat on the xps, I've tried a couple of testers from B&Q:
B&Q Matt Emulsion, Clay and Cappuccino. The clay is slightly darker, so I'm giving that a go. I'll mix it with sand and watered down PVA and see how that goes on.
[edit]Before doing that I'm also going to try a mix of the burnt umber acrylic from the works, might be better to have something dark brown on the board which we can dry/over brush up with lighter shades[/edit]
