Stuff what I been painting
Terrain and Hans with his phallic ammunition
Painting my scenery and terrain is something that I’ve always been meaning to do. It really enhances the in game experience. So as a change of pace, I tackled a couple of terrain pieces.
First up, we have an MDF chateau. I sealed the MDF first with PVA but this was a royal pain in the arse to paint. It took multiple layers, the paint was blotchy, the paint ran and several other irritating things. The upshot is I probably didn’t seal the model well enough. So this took ages to paint to even get it vaguely close to tabletop standard. I eventually got to the point that I’d had enough and it was good enough. Not the most motivating painting experience.
Next up, I 3d printed some tyres as a test print for some Gaslands terrain. The scale was way too big and better for 28mm so I mounted it on some plasticard, added some acrylic paste and painted away. Suffice to say, this was a lot easier to paint than the MDF chateau and cheered me up after the previous frustration. Not sure what I’m going to do with it now that I’ve finished it but I’m sure that I will figure it out.
While I was painting the PaK40 guns in my last update, I found a loader model who looks like he’s not holding regular ammunition. Not quite sure what Hans is holding to load into the gun, but the enemy are likely to get a surprise.
