Sunday saw me get a good chunk of the painting done for these remaining pieces of the files I got of Thingeverse (see previous post for the link).
The 2 remaining longer barricades of barrels, blocks & tires.
With figures for scale.
And the 2 barricades that contained a vending machine as part of them. Again I went & Googled images for both Coke & Pepsi vending machines. Then attempted to scale them down to fit the side & front of the machine.
Then it was on to weathering them. They were work to complete, but I am very happy with the result.
I then also stumbled upon some large wooden spools, which I got in a trade from someone (Jarrett I believe).
Made of some dense foam or plasticard (it was hard to tell), the pattern was in a very light colour. I applied some Wyldwood contrast paint all over to darken them.
Just like while in the military, these were much sought after by troops to make use as rugged tables while deployed on operations. So with these completed its likely back to the scatter stuff for Stargrave.
These are really cool Terry! Love the spools, the wood effect is very natural looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, as I mentioned to Bob, they did have texture, but were very light in colour. I wanted a darker wood effect.
DeleteThese look great, Terry. I love the decalling on the machines and the texture on the wooden spools.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob, for the vending machines, I was happy I didn't bugger up the wet paper prints as I applied them. The wood spools did have texturing on them, I just wanted a darker look which is why I applied the contrast paint.
DeleteAnother great bunch of barricades and as well painted as ever, The , bulook great and are very usable in many contexts, but I take my hat off to you for the vending machines - akk the work on them was well wrth the effot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe, I too am very happy with how they turned out. Now its just a matter of getting them onto a gaming table.
DeleteLoving those vending machines! Great job on matching the web images to fit so well and then weather to convincingly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai, I knew after I printed them out that I wanted to give them some extra attention. They wouldn't quite fit the dimensions so I improvised & then the weathering helps to blend it all in. I have quite enjoyed my weathering practice these last few series of posts I've done. Guess I am slowly working towards when I start my Necromunda terrain.
DeleteThe decay and weathering looks spot on and will bring your table to life. Superb.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat!
