Something of a Maze
Shrooms, Fungi and Rimming.
This morning, I decided that I needed to have a tidy up. All the messy flocking and stuff is done, and I needed a clean space so that I could give the edges of all the tiles a black rimming. This not only creates a nice border but will also tie the tiles in with my other terrain. I have harped on about the benefits of this before I know, but it really is an important step for helping things look finished.
With that small but important step out of the way it was time to paint the Mushrooms and Fungi.
The tree fungus was painted with a couple of washes of Citadel Reiksguard flesh.
The mushrooms were spray-painted with Zandri Dust followed by a quick light dusting of skeleton bone. To finish them off with a mottled effect, I used Citadel Wraithbone spray. I applied the spray by holding the nozzle, so the paint spluttered out, creating small dots. Just like I did when base coating the rocks for this project.
The mushrooms were then glued in places where I imagined that they would get shade and possibly some moisture.
The wraithbone spray applied with a spluttering effect to help create texture.
I think I am getting pretty close to the final stretch with this project.
I know I still need to apply the water effects. I did consider adding some lighting effects to it also, and have the space beneath each tile to do that, but I don’t think it really needs it.
I am quite happy with how it looks from figure height. The rocks and bushes really break up the lines of sight nicely and create lots of hiding spots, whilst the tree canopy gives the hint of trees, whilst still allowing access to move figures around easily.
Love the addition of the fungi. The whole thing looks great and the quality of your photographs is fantastic. Are you planning to dirty up the moss any or leaving it fantasy world pristine?
Thanks.
I’m just using my trusty old iPhone 11 for the photos, nothing fancy.
At the moment, I am undecided about the moss. How it looks really depends on what time of day it is, – and how much light there is when I take the pictures. Sometimes it appears to be a vibrant green, at other times it looks a lot darker.
I could try to airbrush on some very light weathering on a not so obvious place and see how it looks.
I do agree though, sometimes it looks really neat and clean in some of the pictures.
