About the Project

I wanted to do something for this but I wasn't sure what to do as I just finished a wild west town, so this is going to be a series of short things that I can complete during this month.

This Project is Completed

I’ve just finished painting the outside of my house, does that count?

Project 2

I thought I would keep it simple to start with, these are the buildings from the LOTR Osgiliath box and the tower. They have been built and primed for quite a while so I thought it was time to get these done. Its going to be a lot of dry brushing so it should be pretty quick.

Finally done, it took a lot longer than I expected but its complete now. I was following a guide from Warhipster.

But I managed to pick up Agrax Earthshade instead of Seraphim Sepia so they all ended up darker than I was expecting. Also I didn’t like the cygor brown on the wood, it looked a bit new for ruins. So I used Vallejo’s wood set to get an old wood effect.

As it seems many people did, I got the alien trees from mantic recently and I thought I would try and paint some them. I have got magnets in all of them and managed to only get one the wrong way round!

They were primed grey and zenithed with white all out of a rattle can.

I found the second picture online and wondered if I could do something like the mushroom on the left and have it glow underneath. I thought it might be a tough ask as it could really do with having some lights to make this work but that is beyond me. I have the fluorescent paint set from green stuff world to try and make this work, so I am going to try and give it a go.

This was my first go at the alien trees, mostly done with an airbrush using army painters air range.

I’ve tried to make the transition between pieces all the same colour (Skeleton Bone) so that when they are swapped about the change between pieces isn’t so hash.

The Fluorescent glow on the underside did sort of work but it really needs a UV light underneath it to make it really noticeable.

I only intended to do a few of the plants from mantic but I’ve ended up doing all the large plants from the box. They are all magnetized so you can swap them about to get the tree of you dreams provided it doesn’t fall over.

The second from last ones were done with a flame HD stencil to give the red around the edge and I’ve left most of the bases skeleton bone for now and I’ll put some colour on them once they are stuck to the base (a problem for future me).

Project 4A

While I’ve been painting the alien trees, the 3D printer has been going brrrrrr and produced these.

I have recently got some the HexTech terrain from Gale Force 9 and I went to the website these designs originally came from and picked up the elevated roadway and started the printer working.

There are further 2 parts to this if there is time as I am hoping this will be quite quick (famous last words).

So that tray of parts makes this an elevated roadway. It a very simple paint job just primed with Uniform Grey with a black roadway and white markings.

Next up some roads to go with them.
