Delving back into Deadzone
Testing out some weathering
28th December 2022
Having taken a brief break from the scenery (building the GCPS) this past week I returned to it with some more energy.
Having tried out some paint pen work the next step was to test out some options for weathering.
My plan here was to give them an overall thinned down dark wash (wiping away excess on flat panels).
Followed by sponging on some splotches with a darker colour, to represent areas of dirt or general wear and tear.
Started with a mid grey, then I tried out a darker brown contrast (Wyldwood) as I thought that may both give a slightly warmer tone, and keep fluid longer.
I tore up an old piece of sponge from packaging, and using some tweezers dabbed it into the paint, tested on an old tile, then applied it in a series of dabs in various locations on the terrain piece.
The combination of the two colours on top of the wash seemed to work pretty well, so I will look to roll this out across the rest of the terrain (quite a daunting task at the moment).
