A Long Time Ago...(A TerrainFest 2023 Blog)
The Saga Begins….
One thing I am so horrible at doing, in the miniature hobby, is keeping track of my “recipes” for things like paint schemes. This becomes a massive problem for me when I start an army, get bored, and put it away only to come back months (or years) later and try to remember what I was doing.
With that in mind, this entry will be a living document to track all of the supplies I use on this project. Hopefully this might even help anyone out there that might have a similar idea but not be certain one what products to get or avoid. Plus, it’ll also help me keep track of staying on budget (see the rules I made in the previous post)!
Anything listed without a date will be the supplies I initially started with from my own table and drawers of supples.
Terrain Sets/Kits/Etc:
- Star Wars: Shatterpoint Core Set terrain. Simple and to the point. So much terrain was included in this box! (Pictures 1-2)
- Star Wars: Legion Barricades. Yes, already sort of breaking the rules. However, when gathering all of the terrain to assemble, I noticed the barricades in a scatter terrain box. I haven’t played Legion in years, so might as well put the bits to good use. (Picture 3)
- Random hobby store snake skeleton Halloween decoration (10/26/23)
Supplies/Materials:
- Basing Materials:
- Rubble made from plaster (specifically made from PerfectCaster)
- Cork. Everybody loves a good cork rock or tower, right?
- Huge Miniatures Weathering Powder – Sand.
- Huge Miniatures Texture Paste – Desert. I have used the Snow versions of these products in a previous tutorial on Youtube, so I’m hoping these work the same. Ironically I got these two specifically to spruce up the Shatterpoint model bases.
- Woodland Scenics: Fine Ballast.
- Woodland Scenics: Medium Ballast.
- Army Painter Brown Battleground.
- Huge Miniatures: Tufts & Flowers – Desert Debris.
- Woodland Scenics: Scenic Glue*
- Woodland Scenics: Scenic Cement*
- Woodland Scenics: Rock Mold (Boulders) (10/16/23)
- Badger Stynylrez Primer: White (10/29/23)
- Badger Stynylrez Primer: Gray (10/29/23)
- Scratch Build Materials:
- Evergreen Scale Models: Polystyrene Sheets .
- Evergreen Scale Models: Polystyrene Tubes.
*Can use PVA glue as a substitute.
Alright. I think that covers everything, except things like paint brushes, sculpting tools, and so on. I figured that would be silly to include as they aren’t specialized tools, and everyone has their favorites. If I come across something I need a specific tool for I’ll add it.
Now…onto the build!
