I know it's been a little bit since my last post but life has again gotten in the way of my fun. I have finally finished the terrain piece I've been working on and I think it has turned out pretty well.
In my last post I believe I finished painting the walls and giving them a dusty look with a chalk pastel and then sealed the walls with a matt varnish. From this point I started to work on the little pieces wood, rocks and metal that were molded into the piece. I had thought about purchasing or making some extra bricks out of basswood. I was unable to find anything already made that was in the right scale. The basswood didn't work out either as trying to cut the wood into a small enough pieces. So I decided to skip this and just work with the debris that was already on it.
I worked on painting all of the metal parts first and then moved onto the broken pieces of wood. I did purchase a great weathering powder called the "Weather System" by Bragdon Enterprises. The rust pigment did wonders to the metal pieces. Using an old toothbrush I was able to vary the amount of rust on each piece. The harder I rubbed the powder with the brush the better it looked. I highly recommend this powdered. I sprayed a matt varnish over the whole piece to seal the paint and powder. I like how it turned out and I can't wait to get it on the table for it's first game.
My God!! You have invested in this project the smae effort as Heracles in his 12 labours. Congratulations, looks splendid
