I found painting them gray and gluing train/winter village grass mat on top made for nice thatched roof huts, but for the 17th century figures you sent me I did one stone with thatch, then painted a couple others as brick with gray roofs (to represent slate). It made them more versatile too!Mardiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988529156607808989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-89806372860114280642022-10-08T08:05:08.991+01:002022-10-08T08:05:08.991+01:00Good plan re varnish.

If there are any concerns about colours bleeding I'd suggest sealing the wood with a coat of matt varnish first.Brian Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-69485685967874310932022-10-07T11:12:27.726+01:002022-10-07T11:12:27.726+01:00Alan these will look terrific on the tabletop.

Can I suggest you paint the houses light blue, light green, light pink, plain white and or perhaps a ochre yellow with all the roofs in different contrasting colours. Then you draw and colour windows and doors etc on paper and cut them out and stick them to the wooden houses using mod podge with a brush which will seal it all in and blend in everything, you can even draw tile roof and mod podge it on. bright colours for toy look. Just a thought good luck with the project.

Sharpie black liners might bleed on untreated wood (you could test this on the base?) <br />One alternative might be illustrator pens like waterproof lightproof Staedtler Pigment Liner illustrators’ black pens shown / used here: https://tabletopscoutingwidegames.wordpress.com/2022/09/20/st-trinians-girls-work-in-progress/Mark Man Of TINhttps://manoftinblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
