Also 14th post of the year so far!
Commitment and progress? I think so!
Considering it has been so long since this project got updated I'll point you to my previous posts to refresh your memory...
Back? Did you check?
No?
Well....
First off is my tests scheme for the paving 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!
Better?
Well I did Stage 1, 2 and 3.
So.
Step 4.
Apply black wash.
The black wash is just Chaos Black watered done a lot.
Yes you could use a wash alternative...
But this is cheaper.
Apply this liberally to the slabs
Do not let it dry, but use a bit of scrunched up kitchen towel to dab it off.
One side done to show the difference in shade.
Continue until all your pavements are done.
And that's all the update I have on that.
It is a bit laborious/back breaking.
I suggest doing it while sitting at something almost chest height.
It is that or suffer
That will do for today.
I have more to share, but I'll save it for tomorrow!
As always, thanks for reading.
All feedback welcome and such.
Over and out.
