This Town Ain't Big Enough
Adding some colour
Gerry mentioned there wasn’t a Gerry Can on using wood stain so I decided to do some tests. Above is some test pieces of sprue that had some engraving on them. The left had side had MDF sealer applied to each piece and the right hand side was bare MDF.
The tests were:
Acrylic paint in a tube
GW paint
GW contrast
Village Green wood stain.
All came out ok but the contrast was a bit dark, but I think that was just the colour I choose.
I decided to go with the wood stain, so these building are all coloured using the wood stain apart from the door frame and the Cassidy’s lettering which are just army painter black.
The white needed 2 coats and the red needed 3 but the blue/green and brown were just a single coat.
On the whole I think they came out ok, I didn’t intend to paint every bit just to add some colour to break up the sea of MDF.
