Circus Maximus
Painting walls
Today I set up the entire circus so that I could get all the components in the right order to glue together sub-assemblies.
Layout of the full circus if I choose to go the full distance and put 12 chariots out. (2 children for scale).
With 8 Chariots I can remove a bit of the width and a bit of the length. I actually prefer the look of the narrower layout if I’m honest but thought it would be a wasted opportunity not to make it possible to be as wide as I could.
I used really cheap grey spray primer followed by various sand and off-white colour spray paints to quickly do all the walls. Nothing fancy, just quick and simple.
I will go over and pick out some details once the base colour is dry.
I am hoping that the crowd will help break up the rather boring paint job on the walls.
Talking of crowd, here is the next batch ready for painting. Not sure if I mentioned it but I’m getting pretty sick of painting plebs right now.
With a lot of this bunch, I modified the file before printing so that they are holding flag poles. Once painted I will attach small flags in the various team colours. I am hoping that this will add an extra layer of different poses to the crowd. I have no clue if they would actually wave colours to support their teams, but it doesn’t seem unreasonable to think they would.
mental!
