Mega City One Spring Clean Challenge
Second building done
I got excited about how quickly this second building was coming together, and so didn’t get as many in-progress photos as I would have liked. I went back and forth on what color to paint the shutter doors, but decided on a metal/silver for this one after re-doing the first building’s door in red to match its sign. I am very happy with the results.
Next up I have a rooftop walkway with stairs and railings, similar to the one you can see in the first post for this project, but sized to fit the smaller building. I think I’m going to do the stairs and railings the same as the earlier one, base black with drybrushed gunmetal and silver, but I want to do the floor differently. I’m hoping to give the hint of a checkered pattern similar to what we see in the Hall of Justice map for the Helter Skelter boardgame (middle image in the first post below), but I don’t want to paint in a whole grid, just hint at it here and there. I’m thinking I might cut a stencil to use as a guide.
After that I’ll re-paint the original grey building to match the grey and yellow on the two new ones, and also re-do its rooftop deck to match.
These look great! I really like the weathered look/chipping you’ve done for the painted panels.
That’s very kind of you to say. Normally I struggle with weathering when painting MDF buildings, but this seems to be working.
2024-06-11 Your project has been visited by the unofficial Hobby Hangout. Huzza!
Huzzah indeed! And thank you for the reminder that there are only 9 days left, for some reason I had it in my head that I had until the end of the month. Better get cracking!
