About the Project
Before falling off the painting wagon, I collected dry garbage to eventually craft into terrain. Recently I've noticed the the pile of parts has gotten... Quite large, and I still haven't crafted anything, and even if I did, I wouldn't have the room to put it. Long story short, I've thrown some of my scenery collection out, and I'm starting to make terrain from the rest. I'm hoping to sell finished scenery or terrain on Ebay, if only so I don't have to store it.

I swear I am CURSED
At least my photo is right side up, now. Hut with Drybrushed roofI’d swear to God if I weren’t an athiest I must be cursed. Every little thing I attempt to do blows up in my face at every little chance it gets.
I get an Iwata airbrush, it breaks, several times. I have to buy replacement nozzles several times, once because the nozzle I just bought, BROKE when I was screwing it on. And when the airbrush somehow IS working properly, then the COMPRESSOR goes bust. So then I buy a new compressor, with an airbrush, said airbrush is NOT gravity fed. The paint pot not only connects to the airbrush from below, it doesn’t even have a lid to stop spillage! Who designs an airbrush like this?
When I finally make some progress in priming the hut, I run out of primer. And the local arts and crafts store doesn’t have any, or apparently ANYTHING relating to airbrushes anymore. So I drive 30 minutes to a giant hobby store that’s only accessed through a series of left turns on one way roads (all swarming with rushing traffic) go inside and get a jar of primer and golden brown paint. The total is a little $20 Canadian, unfortunately I don’t find out until I get to the cashier… I currently only have $10 in my account.
And people wonder why I’m always grumpy. Anyway, here’s the hut, completely primed and with a roof drybrushed in that golden brown paint.
Maybe the door could have been a LITTLE bigger...
Sorry for the Upside down photos I don't know what's wrong with my phone this time. When enlarged, it goes right side up, however.Orc Hut
First terrain is an Orc or Goblin hut. I started work on this quite a bit before starting this project, so progress is quite underway. I glued parchment paper (which I NOW know does not glue very well) to the inner sides and bottom. I also carved a slightly larger than necessary door, then tried gluing wood crafting sticks to the side with Gorilla glue.
The , or at least the sides have been concealed with those same sticks sawed up. These were stuck with regular pva glue.
For a roof, I made a paper cone with a paper towel cone glued on top for texture, and some more sticks glued underneath for structure.
