Today included more spraying and kit building. Its getting boring now I know…
The finished little set looks ok at this point. As my supply of silver and blue is too low not to start a further kit its time to park these pieces and move on to some real painting… With a brush!
However, before that, I was playing about with the modularity of the plazas and how to represent canals on the table.
Maybe some alien canals too…
The afternoon was spent armed with a 1/2 inch brush and some brown ink. These walkways were never going to paint themselves.
Work in progress, I was going for a used and weathered finish so was not overly worried about neatness at this stage.
The photos seem to make even the finished pieces look terrible. The brown ink wash, heavy drybrushing with Ash Grey and a further splash of green ink down at the waterline, make the finished walkways look quite good… Honestly!
Great work. I like the flexibility that sort of set up brings.
Cheers,
Pete.

Flexibility is something any gamer should look for, as we all run out of storage room far faster than we would like.

The layout looks good. Fun place to investigate or fight over. I feel you pain on the pics. I can’t get good pics to save my despite having a light box now!

Definitely best for skirmish style games. I suspect you hit the nail on the head with the ‘investigate’ comment. This sort of scenery leads players to wander about (especially if the game gets a bit of a narrative going).

That all looks really good! 🙂 The weathered walkways look just the job! Glad to see you’re getting into the swing of things in the new shed as well!

My swing is definitely being got into. I suspect (sadly) that the fact that the table is not being used for games is increasing my productivity. Especially as I can leave out some drying projects while I potter with other things. That extra space won’t last for long if I don’t start to put a few things away though.
