I have just discovered textured spray paints by Rust-Oleum. This one is called Desert-Bisque, but there is quite a range. I tried it on some D-Day plastic beach defences. It creates instant beach/ desert/ rough concrete in two light coats.
Amazing! So darn easy. A lick o' paint and I will have two great beach defences.
Oh yea, I love that stuff for statues and other scenery items. Even for my Necron Vehicle I used a beaten metal spray over my monolith for that metallic shine look, looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDear Styx

Very impressed.

I recently baught some fairly cheap foam board building ruins, I used a similar product to help bring some depth to them, and I would also have to agree, really adds that extra bit of detail to otherwise cookie cutter pieces. Whish I had a can of what you got though, mine came out a little thinner than I would have liked.

Interesting, I can see some uses for this too. Is safe on polystyrene, or is it likely to melt it?
ReplyDeleteI love this stuff too, along with the hammered metal sprays. Spray detail; awesome!
ReplyDeleteDear Anon
ReplyDeleteThat why I bought it. To cover scratch-built foam card buildings. The bunkers were just a test.

Dear Scott
ReplyDeleteAlmost certainly it would melt it, although I haven't tried, as it gives off a solvent smell.
You could try undercoating with acrylic, letting dry for a long time to harden, and then coat with the textured spray. I suppose it could work. :)

Dear Sons
ReplyDeleteMust try the hammered metal.

Dear John
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought to, remarkably though it seems to be dense enough to not melt, its a combination of that poster board type material and foam core.

p.s.
I got it from a company called gamecraft, very serviceable if you need a lot of filler type terrain.
Dear Scott
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip.
