Welcome to my strange alternative world of wargaming with toy soldiers: a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books (HG Wells, Little wars)

Amera Moulds - Quick Paint Job
I am fairly happy with how these have turned out. Terrain is always a balance between time (effort), weight, durability, and appearance.
I wanted these to be light and durable for storage and travel - and I did not want to expend too much time.
So the method was as follows.
1. Cut out.
2. Spray mid red-brown with Army Painter Spray.
3. Quick bursts of a darker brown spray at different angles on the flat surfaces.
4. Allow v. dilute dark brown wash to run down the gulleys.
5. White glue a litttle rubble into the cracks (various sizes) and flat areas to break up the smooth outline.
6. Paint rubble dark brown.
7. Dry brush model with yellow-brown ochre.
8. Spray on Vallejo matt varnish.
9. Job's a good'un.
Very nice John, the rubble looks effective.

ReplyDeleteThanks. I do not set myself up as a particularly good painter or modeller but I have learnt some practical skills over the years.
