Delicious Desert table

Hello again. This is the final entry as at the end your boards will be complete!

For the painting you will need a base paint and a highlight paint. Now, there are other ways to do this depending on what sort of colours and effects you are going for. My goal in this was to get a fairly light coloured board more towards yellow and white.

You can add a darker base colour, and put a mid tone over it to create more contrast, so feel free to experiment.

The colour I used for my base was this:

Now, you can stipple this colour on with a brush which is fine but very time consuming. So I bought a paint gun at bunnings for under 50 bucks.

Follow the instructions on how to dilute paint for the gun.

Using the gun took me literally 30 seconds to get a nice flat coat. Super quick.

Spray all the boards and hills. This paint should dry fairly quickly.

I then stippled this colour onto the roads:

Once the paint dries all we need to do is drybrush a highlight. For the road first I will drybrush the base coat colour I did for the whole board and then the highlight colour.

I wanted the highlight colour to be very bright so I drybrushed with this :

Go as light or heavy as you like on the drybrush highlight, until you are happy with the results.

Repeat for Hills and you will be done!

Now it turns out I forgot to take pics of the finished board, so there will be another post coming! But here are some buildings I prepped for it.

These are from Knights of Dice tabula rasa range of desert buildings.
