Dark tan is my preferred option for thatch and I have a WIP model that uses something similar to the technique you have used here that should be finished in a couple of days. Your technique certainly works fantastically here though; the way you have mottled the two shades of tan is incredibly well done. It's always lovely to see a viking creation - this is one of the nicest I've seen!davee123 wrote:Unfortunately, using gray in LEGO sorta gives the impression of stone, so I immediately started analyzing my woefully small collection of dark tan. The color works SO well (I made one house with a pure dark tan roof, and it looked like an excellent match), but it's so new that I didn't have very much. But thankfully, LUGBULK came to the rescue! And what's more, we've got 1x2 plates, 1x1 plates, and 1x2 tiles in dark tan, which allows you to build most basic structures. But there's still a sea of unexplored parts that I'm yearning for in dark tan!
