Episode 11: Barricades

January 19, 2020

I couldn’t think of something linked to a Star Wars Film to call this one, afterall Solo is rather singular and can’t simple be replaced and still hint at the name of the film.

I have decided to move on from painting miniatures for a bit as I had the barricades to paint up and I had an idea I want to put into action. I’ve gone fairly simple here with a base spray of Uniform Grey from Army Painter, Soft Tone wash to give a bit of depth and some dirt. I then decided that I wanted some graffiti on these, fortunately for me Wargames Illustrated had given away a set of Judge Dredd waterslide decals of graffiti so I cut some that I liked out and put them on using Humbrol DecalFix to help them follow the shapes on the barricade. The screens and buttons on the reverse of the barricades have been painted as well. Once the decals were dried on, I left them 24 hours, I tooks out some Vallejo Natural Umber and some MIG Vietnam Earth pigments to dust them up. The photographs is prior to the varnish going on, but AP Anti-Shine should hold the pigments in place.

I outght to explain that I selected the big Chopper decal as I am a fan of Star Wars Rebels – now if only I could get Chopper from that to join my army.
