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.
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.
Having washed and cleaned the castings of two of the ruined buildings from the Total Battle Miniatures range of Western Europe 15mm buildings. They are the ruined café and ruined shop with passage. I gave both models a light white undercoat.
I already have two of the ruined buildings from the Total Battle Miniatures range of Western Europe 15mm buildings. I was lucky enough to get two more for my birthday from Simon, thank you. He gave me the ruined cafe and ruined shop with passage. This photograph is from the manufacturer.
The ruined cafe is a really nice building and comes complete with some “pavement” out the front that would have been used with tables and chairs.
It’s a nice casting with clean detail and looks very effective.
I will probably use a similar method to the one I used with the other ruins. After washing the resin I will give the model a white undercoat and then use a combination of washing and drybrushing to bring out the detail.
