Redvers and Son Get Into Bushido
Temple Terrain
You can never have too much terrain, particularly ‘dressing’ terrain to help set the scene. To this end, I thought we needed some more temple themed statues. I’d also stumbled across some free scans of real statues that had been converted to STL files. These files needed some resizing and merging as neither the Buddha nor the dragon came on a plinth. Fortunately, this is very easy to do in Microsoft’s 3D Builder tool.
Both statues were painted in the same way. A Luftwaffe grey for the plinth which then gets a black wash followed by a light grey dry brush. The metal is a base of bronze followed by a grey dry brush. I’ve then added GW’s oxide paint which then gets quickly wiped off before it can dry. Finally, a shining gold dry brush.
The jade (which was painted first) was stippled with a sponge with black, grey and white (separately) and then a light green ink is applied over the top via an airbrush.
All of the statues get mounted on a plasticard base that then has some Vallejo acrylic mud smeared over. It’s then flocked and flowers added where appropriate.
