Here is Marc King’s completed Mockingbird Lane kit from Creature Arts. This model won a silver at Wonderfest in 2004. You can find construction photos in the On The Bench section of this site. Marc did the original pattern work for this resin model.  [This resin kit was used as the basis for the Moebius Models plastic kit]

Painting information:

Base coat of grey primer over everything. I used Badger Freak Flex paints exclusively for the entire paint job, Sotar 20/20 airbrush and some dry brushing.

I started by spraying Mossy Moar Brown over the entire house, accenting the
corners and lower areas. Next I used Rotten Tooth Tan and Wooden Stake over the siding areas, around the window frames, porches and all the trim. I followed this up with Bleached Bone Tan over all the previously mentioned areas, spraying on angles to allow the paint to only touch the raised surface areas and bring out the details.

The roof shingles were sprayed with Buried Alive Brown over a previous coat of the darker Mossy Moar Brown, next a light misting of Poisonous Plague Yellow. The lower brick area was sprayed with Suntan Flesh.

All of the areas were subsequently dry brushed with the Bleached Bone Tan very lightly in stages, this will bring all the little details to life.

I made a very thin wash with Asphyxia Blue and gently dripped that into the glass panes over the windows. I treated the chimney the same as the lower brick foundation area.
