DRACONIS DOES….. TERRAINFEST 2025

15th December 2025

Again I have not had very much time for hobby of late. I have however made some more headway, in small manageable chunks.

For the greyness of the power plant I decided to add some hazard stripes each side of what would be the central path (when the door is in place). I did these by masking off the rectangular area and then stippling on two shades of yellow ochre. I followed this by using further masking tape and using coffee stirrers to mark the width of the stripes. I then cut alternate sections out, masked over the yellow and stippled on the black. It works pretty well.

I then painted the floor sections between the walls and the hazard stripes in gun metal, washed with Nuln oil then drybrushed over with lead belcher.

On the walls I painted some of the recessed parts that could be power conduits (maybe?) with light blue contrast, to echo the engine glow I had already used. Finally I added some power warning transfers on the end of each side part.

Next up I used a gundam marker to panel line the more defined panel grooves on the partition wall sections. I also tried it on the door, but it didn’t work too well (not well enough defined edges) so I instead gave the doors a wash then re painted in the main sections.

Then I did some work on the airlock and ‘storage’ room parts. I picked out the ‘pipes’ on the sides in a strong orange, then added white WW2 tank transfers onto the front pipes (since the others would not be seen once the walls were in place). I also picked out some panels inside the airlock in three different red shades, and added some dark grey panels to the lower section inside the storage room.

Finally I added some detail onto the cargo bay section. I painted up the computer consoles each side of each of the main doors, added some fluo yellow lights on the top of the door frame and picked out some piping in the orange that I used for the airlock wall pipes. I also added some scuff marks around the bottom of the door frames, and some scratches onto the door. But I will work more on the weathering once I finish the interior.
