About the Project
I’ve been watching The Drowned Earth Miniatures Game since it’s Kickstarter but just recently decided to take the plunge. As the terrain for the game is pretty unique, and really sets it apart from other post apocalyptic games, I knew I had to create my own. Not having much experience with terrain building I decided to document my experience. So, here goes!

Something I didn’t paint, but worth seeing anyway
I did not paint any of these miniatures.
They were all done by Sean Twiddy, a very talented local painter and an art professor at one of our local colleges. The sculpts are really good and Sean did a great job painting them.
You can see more of Sean’s work here:

My personal favorite is the saurian with his jaunty beret and Ray-bans.
The dinosaurs are amazingly life like and just just shows how real painting skill can bring relatively simple models to life.
More Rebar
I decided to dry brush the rebar using Army Painter Skeleton Bone. Ok for now, I may do something else. The next step will be adding vegetation. Rebar
I painted the exposed rebar with Vallejo Flat Brown. 
I then washed it with Army Painter Strong Tone. 2nd Attempt at Rust
Tried again with the sponge technique using a little less pressure and pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Rust Attempt
This is the single smallest structure and I usually attempt any techniques on it first to practice before moving on to the bigger pieces. Here I attempted to add rust and it didn’t turn out very well so I repainted the whole thing and tried again. This is the second attempt. Still not completely happy with it but I’m going to work on the technique more. Essentially you use a bit of torn sponge and dab the paint on. On my first attempt I was pressing too firmly and leaving large blotches rather thsn the smaller specks here. The paint used is Vallejo Flat Brown. Stain/Wash
The stain/wash is a mix of Army Painter Strong Tone and Green Tone. I used a small plastic cup and added 10 drops of Strong Tone then 5 drops of Green Tone.
As The Drowned Earth is a pretty specific setting, I wanted to capture that atmosphere by making everything appear as if it’s constantly wet and humid and algae grows everywhere.
I brushed the stain into the recesses and tried to imagine where rain water would flow and collect. I also tried to make it somewhat irregular.
Second Dry Brush
The second dry brushing was white. It does bring out the edges more. It may be possible to skip the bone dry brush but I suspect the transition might be too stark. First Drybrush
My first dry brushing was Army Painter Skeleton Bone.
