Converting and painting a Faller ruined castle model

Some time ago I bought a Faller HO  model of a ruined castle (B-291) via eBay.

The latter began life as the wooden shop attached to the ruin, and its place was taken by a stone building constructed from spare bits and pieces I had in one of my modelling spares boxes.

After constructing the two buildings, they were fixed to MDF bases and then painted using the technique I used on my previous buildings before adding fine cork granules to their bases. The end results looked like this:
