Dude City has been dormant for a year, under a tarp in the game room. Thanks to Terrain Fest, I seized the opportunity to revive this project, expand it and finally give it the action it so direly need. I folded the tarp on a lower shelf and took inventory of the current buildings. Many more have been languishing on the shelves waiting to be assembled and painted and will increase the seize of the board significantly, adding side streets and point os interest.

First step was to move from a 3x3 mat to a 3x6 mat, courtesy of FLGFirst step was to move from a 3x3 mat to a 3x6 mat, courtesy of FLG
I then decided to handle the 'boring' stuff fist and assemble/paint a series of boardwalks (TT Combat) that had been lying on the floor of the studio since last year.I then decided to handle the 'boring' stuff fist and assemble/paint a series of boardwalks (TT Combat) that had been lying on the floor of the studio since last year.
The boardwalk was primed with dark brown camo paint and progressively highlighted with craft paint. I brush the lighter paint with a cheap large drybrush and then whipe/spread it with a paper towel, which I found to be the easisest way to apply this weathering to such large flat surfaces. Note that I do not bother weathering the center of these boards as buildings will be sitting there!The boardwalk was primed with dark brown camo paint and progressively highlighted with craft paint.
