The stones of the barn are dry-brushed with the following colours:
Dungeon Grey as a base
Castle Grey highlight
Ash Grey additional highlight
The stone roof is dry-brushed with the following colours:
Werewolf as a base
Banshee Brown highlight
Dry-brushing is a painting technique in which a paint brush is relatively dry, but still holds paint.
To dry-brush:
Dip the brush into the paint and then wipe off excess paint onto a paper towel till the brush is nearly dry.
Brush quickly over the model, this will add highlights and texture.
Repeat the process with a lighter different color to add more highlights.
Please see the below images to see the results of this dry-brushing process on the stone barn.
As a finishing touch after dry-brushing, we added PVA glue around the bottom edges of the stone barn, then flock to finish the effect of added moss and grass.

Hi, what type of primer should be used a brand name would be useful, even if not available in the UK. I can checkout the constituents and get a match.
thanks

We typically use rustoleum matt primer or any other Army Painter or GW matt primer will do the trick.
