Work Begins on the Shacks
The shacks were primed with everything else a couple of weeks ago. I’m starting with the walls as this is by far the biggest colour, so that’s what I want to airbrush.
The Greens were base coated with VGC 72.090 Black Green Ink. I then tried highlighting them with VGC 72.089 Green ink, but it wasn’t light enough so I added a drop of P3 Yellow Ink. I think it was about 6:1 green:yellow, but it might have been 8:1. That yellow really overpowers the green and makes it a little radioactive glow-ish. All highlights were applied by roughly painting just the middle area of each panel.
The same approach was taken on the orange shacks. I based with VMC 70.981 Orange Brown and highlighted with VGC 72.038 Scrofulous Brown.
The voids were painted with a very dark grey. I didn’t have one to hand so I added a little VMC 70.869 Basalt Grey to GW Abaddon Black. It took a lot of black to keep it dark. I thought the black would be the dominant colour in the mix, but I was very wrong. We want a near black, but not actual black.
All three shacks have cash registers so lets get them done next. Colour choices on these windows is going to be a pain. I can’t use blacks/dark greys. Blues will create problems with the windows later. I don’t want colours to similar to the walls. To make things worse some idiot keeps putting clear glass items in and expects us to paint them!
