Stuck in the valleys somewheres I would guess soz for the slow reply btw and the lack of updates, other builds grabbed my attention but! new year new focus and all that I'm trying to not allow them to become unfinished................. how long that continues is beyond my attention span So I started some work on the base, and finished the work on the base YAY brownie points for me! The process I followed was thus.......... Block up the aperture at the back of the wall and add filler to simulate an area of dirt A quick slap of household chocolate brown emulsion, followed by a drybrush of vallejo medium grey all over, followed by stone grey/ deck tan and then basalt grey for the road bricks. next was a wash of AK interactive dark streaking grime on the lower part of the walls followed by some light and dark slimy green to simulate water draining out of the soil above the wall. I then added some ivy which was produced by the Army painter company, I think its directed more towards wargamers and table top scenery but it scales in nicely here. I then added some clumps of 'grass' from mini natur, I mixed spring and autumn shades to break up the colour scheme and add some interest. And this is how I hope it will end up, the three figures are from Miniart, they are taking a little longer to quietly process as I am starting to re-scribe the details and add some depth as they are a little soft. With this being a recon and scout vehicle the working title is 'LOST', the one crew member scrambling up to gain a better vantage point. All comments welcome
