WIP on some Chinese buildings for Pulp Alley China Station campaign

 

These are Warbases models from their 55 Days range. They are very easy to build and have some nice character. I did pimp them out with a bit of Liquitex flexible modeling paste to give the impression of a stucco like appearance. For the building on the right (with red door) I taped off all the areas where the cross beams would be placed. I then applied the paste with a brush and then as it was drying I took another brush to dab the paste to create a more nuanced look. It worked out very well as it left a clear area to glue the crossbeams onto. The paste dried a pale white almost clear in places and as a result the 'plaster' took on an off white hue. To aid in the appearance I used some off white paint, dabbed on, followed by some slightly whiter shade very lightly applied as a highlight. 

 

For the other two buildings I dispensed with the taping and instead was just careful in applying the paste, this worked and saved time. For the building on the left I added some embossed brick paper to break up the monotony of painted MDF.

 All the roofs were painted black and dry brushed a dark grey and light grey. Then I used Vallejo environmental paint to add streaks of green, light green, brown and yellow.

 

I still have one more building to complete and three more on order.

Return to Dystopian Wars?

I decided to lay out some of my painted Dystopian Wars stuff in an attempt to jump start me into painting more of my collection.

I had painted some stuff for the Analogue painting challenge but that was but a drop in the ocean. There is another local gamer that has some naval forces so I am going to try and get some naval stuff done, some FSA ships to begin with.
