The Big Stocktake
A place of ill repute
I’ve started to paint the few building I have printed for the ‘Blood and Plunder’ section of this project.
I went with a really fast technique and managed to get these 3 building to through these 3 simple stages in a couple of hours at most.
I first primed them all with a light grey primer in a regular rattle can.
After that I used Army Painter Leather Brown and Army Painter Dragon Red spray cans to do the wooden areas and roofs.
The red was actually an after-thought, I originally did all the roofs brown before realising I had red spray paint in the garage.
You don’t need to be too neat with this process and a little overspray won’t hurt.
Any areas with a lot of overspray just quickly tidy up a bit with light grey.
I then used a dark grey through an airbrush to mark out some darker areas. around windows and doors etc. Again, don’t worry about being particularly careful. Check out some of the images and you’ll see I got spray everywhere in some cases.
Most of this will get covered up during the next step anyway.
Next, it’s time to get out a big drybrush.
I used two successively lighter brown tones to quickly drybrush the woodwork and two light greys for the main parts of the building.
For the roofs a quick pale red followed by a more cream colour.
This helps blend in all the colours ready for the next step, which unfortunately may have to wait for a few weeks as I am about to be sent on a short deployment with work.
