The Lazy Well Progress
This is the Lazy Well from Fenris Games. I started with a 130mm MDF base, I bevelled the edges and sealed it using filler. I assembled the well and stuck it to the base together with a base for a tree. I smoothed the transition between the resin piece and the base with some DAS modelling clay.
I primed the whole model in black and painted it with a coat of Vallejo Model Air Rust (71.080) with my airbrush.
The stonework first got an overbrush coat of Vallejo Model Color Basalt Grey (70.869). I coated the stonework and the wood with a coat of Secret Weapon Wash Algea (W013). After this I applied a heavy drybrush of Vallejo Model Color Medium Sea Grey (70.870). In hindsight I should have waited longer for the wash to fully dry before doing this. I then applied a drybrush of Vallejo Model Air White Grey (71.119) over the stone and a drybrush of Vallejo Panzer Aces Old Wood (70.310) over the support beams. And then for the roof I applied a drybrush of Vallejo Model Color Red Leather (70.818) over the tiles and a drybrush of Vallejo Panzer Aces Dark Rubber (70.306) over the central ridge structure.
I got all the nails and metal bits coated with Vallejo Metal Color Burnt Iron (77.721) and followed by a coat of Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506). I added a bit of Vallejo Earth Texture Dark Earth (26.218) to express a bit of use of where people would have walked. The rope is basecoated in Vallejo Panzer Aces Light Mud (70.315) and then received a coat of Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade (99189953018). I drybrushed the dirt with some Vallejo Panzer Aces Light Mud (70.315). Now a coat of gloss varnish for protection and a coat of anti-shine to remove the shine of the gloss varnish.
I covered most of the base, at least where I wanted flocking, in a watered down coat of PVA. I added a couple of tufts to it to decorate it and sprinkled some leafs around the tree. I then followed up by flocking the base with 3 colours, the darker more in the shadowed or covered area’s. After the glue dried I shook off the excess and started adding tufts and little bits of clump foliage where the glue didn’t really take that well in order to fill up the gaps. I also added some tufts and clump foliage where I thought it would look good. I then added some light flock on places where I think moss would grow and on one of the sides I added some Ivy to add just a bit more flavour. After this is all dry I spray a bit of heavily diluted PVA over it all to seal in the scenery.
