Spraycans? Awesome.
Far easier, quicker, cleaner, basically all round less hassle than a stupid airbrush.
(but only for painting – spraying varnish and you’re setting yourself up for a world of hurt with frosting and orange peel finishes – cough, Army Painter, cough).

MDF Terrain – how do you prepare it properly? You mean prime then paint? Yes, of course, always.
Or seal with watered down PVA then paint? (nah, who has time for that, when you can just blast it was a squirt from a Halford car paint spraycan – see above). Or just paint (using brushes) straight onto “raw” mdf? No way – that way madness lies!

Never done snow on terrain. Can’t help, sorry.

 

I’ve seen a few projects going up for Terrain October (what’s the official title again, I forget?)
I wasn’t going to bother, as I’d just printed a load of orks for Orktober.
But now I’m thinking I might join in after all, and make a nice diorama for them to stand on (that counts as terrain, right?)

 

Here’s your music link. I’ve been going to a few jam nights and listening to a lot of blues lately.
Don’t turn it off! Some of it is quite good.
