Afternoon all,
I have recently acquired quite a lot of MDF buildings (to represent bits of Venice, as you ask). Does anybody consider themselves a dab hand at enhancing MDF so that they look a bit less 'kit-like'? As it happens, these buildings are pretty good but I'd be interested in chatting to anyone that has some good practical tips on ways to make them pop just that little bit more. I can slap some paint on with reasonable skill; is there a good way of "weathering" them?

As I believe you are a member of Lead Adventure Forum, I would suggest you turn to the user Mason (hangs out on a lot of sub forums, but the Old West and Call of Cthulhu are his usual haunts). He's done LOADS of MDF stuff and is a quite helpful character. Check out his long time project Upsheet Creek here: www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?topic=60011.0Ove.

Thanks, I will take a look at that. I've nearly finished one of my buildings and it looks OK - if I can master a technique for getting some variation into the otherwise flat colours of the walls, I think it would look better. This is like why I prefer miniatures with lots of detail - too much of a blank canvas intimidates me!
