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.
Added some more details to my 15mm Ruined Shop with Passage from Total Battle Miniatures.
Still a fair bit of work to do.
I painted the front area of the Total Battle Miniatures 15mm Ruined Café. For this part of the model I decided to try out the Citadel Texture paint, Astrogranite.
I am not that impressed. It did cover fine, but not sure if the “texture” adds anything. I am not too worried as I don’t acrtually expect to use that part of the model that much.
Having painted the roof tiles on my ruined row of three houses, I did the same with the ruined row of four houses.
I gave the roof tiles a basecoat of Citadel Terracotta.
They still need more work.
I have added more detail to my Total Battle Miniatures 15mm ruined shop with passage.
The main addition was painting the roof tiles of the part of the roof that had fallen into the shop.
I will try giving the model a dark wash.
After undercoating the Total Battle Miniatures 15mm Ruined Café I started painting the basecoat.
I used a Tamiya acrylic.
I find you need to take your time with these kinds of resin castings as there are lots of pockets and casting holes that can be easily missed when painting the basecoat.
I did think about how to paint the roof of my Total Battle Miniatures ruined row of three houses, in the end I thought that terracotta tiles would look very effective, probably more so than slate. So I gave the roof tiles a basecoat of Citadel Terracotta.
Looking at the Total Battle Miniatures photograph, I might repaint the “complete” roof with grey slate.
The next stage will be a dark wash.
Having undercoated the Total Battle Miniatures 15mm ruined shop with passage I then added a base coat to cover the rubble and the broken parts of the walls.
I will then paint some of the detail before giving the model a wash using a brown wash.
I intend to add more debris, using wood and plasticard, as well as some printed signs and posters.
I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures. Having previously posted about the ruined row of three houses, here is the ruined row of four houses.
Still some work to do on the stonework and half-timbered building.
I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures.
Having given most of the model a basecoat, I am now painting in the details of the ruins, using Citadel Scorched Brown.
Once I have finished painted the ruins, I think I will add some additional detrius, broken beams and so on to add a little more detail.
