Dies.Yup, I've been painting my board some.
It doesn't really look like I've done much (When in reality I've spent about 5-8 hours on it... I've lost count. I hate life).
So I thought Id share some bits and bobs with you.
First off is my tests cheme for the paveing slabs (The set on the right).
Pretty simple.
- Undercoat black (Chaos black/ Any acyrlic paint),
- Paint dark grey (Any will do. I used Black acrylic and white crylic. But the GW base dark grey would be fine),
- Paint light grey (may require 2 coats; My mix was somewhere between codex and fortress grey/ Mianly white with a hint of black = Pavement grey),
- Wash with watered down black, making sure it goes into the crevices. The while still wet use some tissue paper to 'dab' off most of the paint.
This will leave the paint in the crevices and give the slab a darker tone, with a dappled effect on it.
- Drybrsuh light grey (Might have to do it twice; pavement grey),
- Very light Drybrush light-er grey (pavement grey with more white).
Done!
Yeah, it is not a masterpeice of paintwork, but I think it looks a'ight. Especially when they'll be a shed load of them.
Adds a bit of texture prior to any detailing that might get done.
I've already done the base grey on all the pavements;
Looks a bit shitty at the moment. But it does end up like the first picture, so I'm okay with it.
Glad they're out of the way.
Things left to do;
- Finish slabs (Wash black, Dab, Drybrush x 3),
- Finish road (Very light blue-grey drybrush),
- Paint details (Drains, man-holes),
- Paint lampposts,
- Clean up edges (Black boarder).
And that should do it.
SO GODDAMN CLOSE!!
