Painting my Secret Weapon Dungeon Tiles
Some Basics
Secret Weapon Miniatures used the same plastic that Reaper Bones are cast in. This makes for some lightweight, flexible, tough pieces that take acrylic paint beautifully. They don’t even need primer. Being a flexible plastic some pieces can come out bent or distorted. A few of the smaller pieces (doors, planking) were a little warped but only one of the larger castings showed distortion. It was the largest curved wall from the Mine Walls set and didn’t fit snugly against the curved track pieces.
Luckily a soak in a bowl of warm water (same as a hot cup of tea) and the pieces are soft enough to press against the track piece to cool for a minute. After that it's ready for paint.
Here is one of palettes I started my base coats with. I use a wide flat brush and mix colors as I go.
Other than the wooden beams I don't worry about neatness.
Seems a little light now but the wash will change that.
