Collins Does Yavin IV Table Build
Tester for the temple
So whilst my foam runway continues to dry I’ve started on making a simple temple section. I would really like feedback on how this looks people as I’m not convinced with my outcome yet.
So to add some detail
first I cut and glued using hot glue gun and then I washed the paper off the foam board. I recommend that if you do this you wash the paper off first and then glue it, will save you time and glue.
then I took a biro and drew on a pattern of smooth nitted rocks that are typical in Inca holy temples (very impressive, go look at some!)
then using cheap tester pots of paint from wilkos I painted a base colour and dry brushed highlights.
after that i made a wash using cheap brown paint and water which I splashed on all over. The idea being for it to pool in the recesses. It didn’t work as well as a proper shade but hey, this is terrain!
after the (heavy) wash I needed to bring back my original colour choices so that involved drybrushing the wilko paint back on.
finally I made a brown green wash with cheap paint and washed that onto the bottom of the piece and made splotches in other areas on the sides and top.
what do you think of it? I think it’s too brown, I’m thinking a yellow or sepia shade would have been better
I think the colour looks fine, how about a bit of moss or vines to add a colour contrast? A few random patches or lines of PVA and some green flock/foliage mix to add that ‘jungle taking over’ look?
