Wow! I'm really impressed with your work. Your weathering on the wood and metal is incredible.

Thanks everyone for your time and comments.
The "End of the line" dio got me a gold prize in our
last annual IPMS convention here in Greece in its
category that is "civilian diorama any scale".

Some photos now from a diorama that came to a stop
and I don't know when I will be in the mood to finish it.
Post apocalyptic dio at 1/500 scale with paper and
cardboard as the main building material. Some weathering
as the streaking was made through photoshop before printing
due to the very small scale and the rest with acrylic washes.
I have to airbrush some mat varnish to kill the shine of the
printed paper.Feel free to ask any questions.

Awesome, weathering is just perfect. Really like your technique on mixing materials.
I'm looking forward some model like yours in 1/25 or 1/33 ; Would be perfect for diorama.

I 'm working lately on some scratchbuild Viking houses from 9th
to 10th century period. I got the idea from an 1/87 paper kit but
I think that this one needs alot of work to look more like a dio and
less like a toy. I did some research in my books and over the net and
started designing these small houses at N scale ( 1/160 ) . 1.5 mm
cardboard for the walls ( that way I avoid distortion from paints and
glue ) and wall putty over it for mud walls.
This was sanded smooth afterwards and painted with a very light grey
- molac 1196 light grey - to prepare it for the upcoming weathering.
Pin wash with raw umber oil color and oils and acrylics for more stains.
White color oil was used to create more variety and tones.The planks
are from paper - see some posts above the way I paint and use it -
and from the thinner planks I could find from the ship building section. They
were glued over black enamel painted wall so I could achieve shadows
between the planks. The stone wall is printed along with some planked
sections. I try to avoid the last one and use real planking wherever I can.

The roofs were made from scrap paper ( from a wedding invitation ).
Over that I sprinkled Hecki grass and Woodland Scenics fine turf and sprayed
it with Vallejo grey primer to prepare the surface for the paints. Several paints
applied over with washes and filters from oils, enamels and acrylics, trying
to achieve a different tint on each one to show the different seasons that the
houses were built.

Enough chit-chat, time for some pict. Mind that they are half the way
and it's a W.I.P. As usual my photo ability is bellow average and macro
is a killer for the small scales. As always c. & c. are more than welcome.

Those look great! The manual planking looks so realistic. And again, beautiful work on the textures and weathering!

Thanks. The structure #3 with the stone walls is almost done.
I 've added some details, corrected the shades of colors on spots
and all I have to do is shoot it with winsor acrylic matt varnish
to kill the shining of the white glue. More when I have some photos.

Weathered wood finish for that hut came out nicely. That's something I need to practice more at: can do it decently with paint on styrene, not so good yet with paper.
