Work Begins on the Shacks

The shacks were primed with everything else a couple of weeks ago.  I’m starting with the walls as this is by far the biggest colour, so that’s what I want to airbrush.

The Greens were base coated with VGC 72.090 Black Green Ink.  I then tried highlighting them with VGC 72.089 Green ink, but it wasn’t light enough so I added a drop of P3 Yellow Ink.  I think it was about 6:1 green:yellow, but it might have been 8:1.  That yellow really overpowers the green and makes it a little radioactive glow-ish.  All highlights were applied by roughly painting just the middle area of each panel.

The same approach was taken on the orange shacks.  I based with VMC 70.981 Orange Brown and highlighted with VGC 72.038 Scrofulous Brown.

The voids were painted with a very dark grey.  I didn’t have one to hand so I added a little VMC 70.869 Basalt Grey to GW Abaddon Black.  It took a lot of black to keep it dark.  I thought the black would be the dominant colour in the mix, but I was very wrong.  We want a near black, but not actual black.

All three shacks have cash registers so lets get them done next.  Colour choices on these windows is going to be a pain.  I can’t use blacks/dark greys.  Blues will create problems with the windows later.  I don’t want colours to similar to the walls.  To make things worse some idiot keeps putting clear glass items in and expects us to paint them!

The cups were up next.  Another beige-ish colour in a small space.  I fear this is going to be an issue with these things.  I’ll do what I can
