Always a pleasure to look at your work, John!
It's been a great inspiration to me of late.

(more photos would be nice though;) )

Hi AF! I will be posting some here but the majority of my pics can be seen on my photobucket sub-album "Classic Cars" Cheers! John.:)

Truly amazing work sir! Your detail work is fantastic from your aircraft engines to the nail spacing on your buildings. May I ask what scale you are working in?

Thank you for sharing!

Lovely, John :thumbsup:

I would like to ask your advice on something - painting some cobblestones.
Would you be willing to share some advice with me on how you would go about painting cardboard to look like cobblestones?

You can find the "raw material" here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=5791542&postcount=47

Wow! I like it just as it is.I would just spray it with clear matte lacquer.The grey tones and patterns are just great as they are.
If you were going to weather the car ,then paint and a little weathering of the cobblestones would be in order.Otherwise I would leave it as is.
Lacquer also makes a great sealer for wood and cardboard prior to painting.Dries in 30 mins and doesn't change the color.
If the surface is a little rough I would also consider using pastels for weathering.

Thanks John. Unfortunately it does need painting. It's not quite so clear in the photos I think, but in 1/1 it looks like cardboard and the grey/white contrast is quite harsh.

I am hoping to get a more natural stone finish but am not sure what kind of colr washes to use.

Wish me luck! :D

You really can't go wrong using the earth tones like the umbers and siennas.If you use a gesso primer and flat acrylic colors you can then use chaulk pastels for shading and weathering etc...but you must use flat paint otherwise the pastels won't stick.Cheers! John.

Thanks :thumbsup:

That's pretty much what I had in mind but it's very reassuring to hear it from an expert! :)

Looking forward to seeing more updates on your dioramas.
