Ready for paint and some ruins

Painting the islands was pretty similar to the earlier rocks project, mod podge and black paint as a base. The top of the rocks I wanted flat to put scatter and small buildings on. So textured and flat, right, ok.

I slapped a layer off buff sandy paint down, and the effect was like someone had painted a buff sandy colour on top of a rock. I had picked up a kind of textured beach paint, mostly for basing Ghost Archipelago and other piratical nonsense.

I put a layer on, that stuff is a pain to paint on a larger area as it’s developed for glomming on bases or small dioramas. It did the trick though, Textured and flat.

Around the base of the rocks I used a couple of moss paints sparingly, when dry I applied a permanent wet look thing from AK Interactive, it absolutely reeks, so ventilation is highly recommend. I use an extremely cheap and effective ventilation set up called ‘outside’.
