The Dystopian Wars is a miniatures games from Spartan Games. The Prussian Frigate is a simple ship with a single turret and aft Tesla weapons.
Having given the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil, I then gave them a light drybrush.
I think if I was to paint them again, I might paint the decks a tan colour so that it looked like wood.
As you can see from this photograph, there is still some touching up to do, where they were glued to the stick.
Check out the Dystopian Wars Workbench.
Having washed the decks of the Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought the next stage was to give he rest of the model and hull a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.
After that I gave the model a light drybrush.
This is the Prussian Empire Blucher Class Dreadnought alongside two Arminius Class Frigates.
Pleased with how the model turned out. It still could do with some more detailing and markings, but at this time I can certainly use this in a game.
The drill and rear hatch were a little too new and shiny, so I gave both areas a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil.
This dulls down the brightness of the Bolt Gun Metal.
Though not quite where I want the 15mm Ruined Shop with Passage, I wanted to check that the process I was planning or my 15mm buildings was going to look effective, so I gave the ruined end of the model a a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
I am quite pleased with the end result with using the wash, the roof tiles look a lot better, as I did that that the Terracotta was a little too bright when I first painted the roof that colour.
Back in the 1990s Harlequin Miniatures produced a licensed range of 28mm metal miniatures and I bought back a few of the blisters, including the robot mummy.
The Robot Mummy in the TV series was quite an aged light brown colour, certainly not white.
I gave the four models I had, after undercoating, a basecoat of Vallejo Ivory (918).
After that I brushed over the models a watered down brown wash.
The rear view.
This was to “age” the bandages.
After “washing” the Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad Miniatures I gave it a relatively light drybrush.
I used a combination of Vallejo Middlestone and a mix of Middlestone (882) and Ivory (918), and a large brush.
Now a side view.
Here is the Steam Tank alongside a Foundry Gunfighter.

I finished painting the Emmet Gates model.
I gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade. This was to darken the base colours, add shadow and shade.
At this stage I could drybrush or highlight, but I quite like the finish at this time, so I think I will leave himas is. The next stage will be the base.
The main part of the Ironclad Miniatures Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank model was then given a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.
There are some quite large flat blank areas on the model, as a result the wash hasn’t worked as well as I would have liked. However these areas will be slightly covered with the tracks and the turret.

The Dystopian Wars is a miniatures games from Spartan Games. The Prussian Frigate is a simple ship with a single turret and aft Tesla weapons. Squadrons of Frigates are often used to screen larger ships, combine their fire against enemy ships, and sometimes chase down vessels that have submerged below the ocean waves.
There are six models in all, and they come in a blister pack. The first stage was washing the resin models and giving them a white undercoat and gluing them to wooden sticks (for easier painting).
I then gave them a basecoat of slightly thinned Tamiya Grey.
The next stage was to give the models a wash of Citadel Shade: Nuln Oil. This was to both darken the model and add shade and shadows.

The Olympic Liner is one of the largest passenger ships ever created, these impressive vessels have carried people over the seas in style since 1861.
Having washed the resin model I affixed the metal masts. This was quite challenging as they need to be leaning in a particular direction and the “hole” is quite small.
After giving the models a white undercoat, I painted the superstructure with Vallejo Ivory (918). Not sure at this point about how to paint the windows.
The hull was given a basecoat of Citadel Chaos Black, I wasn’t very neat!
