Building terrain of Doom
Fiddling with mig acrylic wash
I wanted the buildings to have a bit more texture so thought I would have a go with an acrylic wash to see what effects I could create.
The first step was to coat the buildings in varnish, I found satin worked best as matt did not allow the wash to flow as well when I moved it with a damp cotton bud and gloss looked very shiny.
Once that was fully dry I coated the model in diluted wash and let it dry for a bit before removing the excess with a cotton bud, drawing it down the model to create streaks and dirt.
I tried diluting the wash with lahmium medium but found this created a skin that made the wash hard to manipulate later so just stuck with good old water or in dirtier bits just added it neat.
With this building i started by running a line of neat wash along the top then brought lines down with a damp brush creating streaks, then removed wash from parts I wanted to stay clean with a cotton bud.
For this building and the ladder I coated the whole side and let it sink into all the details let it dry for a bit then cleaned it up with a cotton bud
