Post by: petercooman on 12 September 2013, 07:30:48 AM
Hey chaps!

Stone grey dry brush over the top will tone it down, then dark earth.
If the buildings are burnt out, highlight everything black vertically.

Very interesting accessories for a wargame, but the references are not available any more on the Pendraken Web site. Leon, when we can again order them?

As far as i know i got the last ones out of Leon's stock  :D

@ Lemmey: Yeah i was thinking about black wash above doors and windows to show smoke marks from burning out. Will try it when i have the time.

Ok couldn't resist and did the black wash now around windows and doors, makes them look burnt out more. What do you think?

The bricks could be more "orangish".
The smoke could be stronger.

Good job Peter  :-bd...I tend to agree with B regarding the 'tweaks'...You're right....The red is a bit too 'red'.
Will.....Why have you got sparks coming out of the top of your head ?
Has Mrs D plugged you into the mains ? ;) ;D :P
Cheers - Phil.

If you're mad enough you should vary the colour of the bricks...
use 3 or 4 different Orange/red/Red black/ocre, and paint the bricks individually.
:d

You might try painting the tops of the walls, where the bricks have broken away, brick red. Also helps to highlight the plan of the building.

Soon hopefully, we've outsourced all our resin production, so I'll be seeing the chap this weekend to see when we can expect some stock.
