Redvers and Son Get Into Bushido
A Shinto Shrine
While I’ve 3d printed some stuff myself, I also bought a couple of larger pieces. One of these is a Shinto Shrine. Before setting out to paint, I’ve had a quick look around for some reference pictures.
The model comes in two pieces which were given a grey primer. I’ve then just used the cheap acrylic paints from the Works, except for the red, which is a vallejo crimson.
The wood was given a heavy wash before an Iraqi sand dry brush.
The tiles I painted a dark green and then dry brushed with a goblin green.
Unfortunately, the model suffers from stepping from the print which makes washes and dry brushing harder. For the wood and tile areas, this isn’t such a problem however my first attempt at the stones looked awful as a dark wash ran into the stepping creating a lined effect.
Now I could have applied some plastic glue or other methods to smooth this out, but this is a terrain piece and life is too short. So I repainted the stones grey and applied the wash just between the rocks rather than all over. I’ve then carefully dry brushed with a light grey and the end result was passable, at least from 3 feet.
Final step was to apply some flock around the stones to hide the worst of the stepping and job done.
Its awesome to see more people playing Bushido its a fantastic game it truly is
We’ve played a couple of quick games with the starter set and really enjoyed it so far. Now we’ve got our faction starter sets, we’re looking forward to playing a few games with our new models. Just need to build and paint them first!
