Delving back into Deadzone
Another can bites the dust!
5th December 2022
Since last post I have continued with the rattle can phase of the process.
I picked up another can of red primer (using this in order to tie in to my friend’s colour scheme) and finished off the base coat top and bottom of the terrain pieces.
I wore a mask, which did its job, but neglected to wear a glove ?
Another can down – they really don’t seem to last very long when spraying terrain.
Next up I went over all of the terrain (except one piece) with a grey primer sprayed from an angle.
This was with the intention of keeping some of the red at the lower edges as shading.
However, it didn’t work on all the pieces due to the spray being quite vigorous, and my hands being quite cold.
This also resulted in yet another empty 500ml spray can ?
I wanted to paint my ladders and rail edging in yellow so that they would ‘pop’ from the white/grey of the buildings and give some visual interest. I was trying to think of the best way to mount them for spraying, and ended up just pushing the connectors into some spare barricade pieces – perfect mounts ?
The final stages I have managed to complete were then spraying the repair bay, ladders and railings in yellow (along with one other building I chose to change to yellow), and spraying all of the grey buildings with a dusting of white from a high angle, to hopefully add some more contrast to the panels.
