My take on this aspect of the table top gaming experience. Not an expert just one person trying to do what he can & trying to demonstrate that anyone can do it.

Spartan Games Dystopian Wars FSA and Russian vehicles

 

Russian tunnelers

FSA Alamo mobile airfield

 

FSA Tennessee landship

 So these are now classified as done! Two of the Russian vehicles are newly painted while a third one has had some updates to it, but had essentially been painted many years ago.

These are a riot to paint, certainly a dry brushers dream come true. While I have done many layers of paint, and over brushing, it is the various layers of dry brushing that brings out the details.

The toughest thing to do is to figure out what colours to use. The airplanes on the Alamo went through 2 other coulour patterns before I settled on the bright, P-26 inspired colours. I have also decided that these are army planes, the naval airplanes and the aerial units will be painted in different colours (TBD)

Amazingly enough, this time around I have actually made a record of what paints I used for these.

Now to get the landing forces done!

WIP on the painting table

 


 Why finish off anything when you can just start painting more stuff!

These are almost done, as are the 10 aerial units also for the FSA.

Painting with faith and confidence

 


 Well, for a novelty I thought I would paint up something that just arrived last month. No good reason for this item to jump the cue, just inspiration regarding what palette to use. I am amazed at how this turned out, again, no Golden Demon paint job, just to a basic table ready status. No, what I am amazed by is that I think the colour choices work, and that it pretty well matches the vision that I had when I started this project.

Post apocalyptic furniture, (and a fountain)

 


 

 A while back I ordered some furniture from Black Cat Bases. As all too often happens I scanned the items when they arrived and then put them out of sight for another day. Well they were not very well hidden from me, in fact I kept stumbling over them while looking for other items. This happened one time too many and that was it, I decided I would paint them up and then properly store them away. 

That will show them!
