Only solution I see for this kind of productivity : You have a horde of illegal workers in your basement.
Calling the police now !

Impressive work.

It would be so cool if the skeletons were removable from the walls, maybe with tiny magnets in their feet so they can be stuck to bases once the unwary adventurers stumble around and wake them up :)

Wonderfully Awesomely Brilliantly Creatively done

If you don't mind there are a couple of things I should like to know about your painting techniques.

A couple of pages back you mentioned "doing the cracks" did you paint these individually with a darker shade of the main colour yellow? Or ink them in?

The big black back wall - did you base coat black and dry brush or did you cover it all with a dark/mid grey and then dry brush.

The styrene takes impressions easily - when you put figures on it, that have slotta bases if there is any pressure on these does that also impress mark the styrene to a noticeable effect?

Thanks and enjoying the posts

Another fantastic piece (actually pieces) of superb terrain.

You are, Sir a master model maker.

Tony
You are too kind. I am merely an enthusistic amateur. :D

Those skeleton walls are great. Sooooo easy to picture them suddenly popping out of the walls, Harryhausen style. Any adventurer walking past would be feeling proper paranoid.

I really, really love the "cliff" sections and the big Egyptian temple stairs wall. They have so much atmosphere. The "spotlight" painting on the Egypt tiles is super effective as well.
Thanks very much. :D

What a stunner!
Is that me or the scenery? :D

WOW...  :o  :o  :o Harry...

You're a legend!

I saw your fist few posts a few weeks ago and went, "oh yeah, that's a pretty neat small tile set. But I'd rather a larger set with walls."

I pop back in at 10 pages, with freeking mountain entrances and skeletons in walls!!!!  :o  :o

Do like mate, do like.  :-*  :-*  :-*

Cheers
Matt
Thanks ... glad not to disappoint. I only started out to do the small tile set  ... and got carried away. :D

This is beyond awesome passed crazy and back to awesome again.
This made me smile ... what a great comment. Cheers fella.

You are so inspiring, Harry!  :-* :-* :-*

I have more of the skellies. I plan to paint and base up some moving ones.

Really impressive!!!
Thanks

I don't know if that's the paint job, but that looks great. Custom conversion?

Yeah ... I stuck the greater deamon head on the bone giant .... nothing to it.

Great questions. :D
Just pick a dark colour and water it down a bit ... a thin brush ... and off I go.
The wall is painted black and then dry brushed repeaatedly with lighter and lighter greys. Maybe five or six different greys. Each layer more sparsely done ....showing plenty of the prevous layers.
I am sure if I pressed down I couuld make a dent with a base ... but normal use does not dent it ... It is actually quite bouncy .... I suspect if I dropped a mini from six inches it might dent it .... I would probably just make it into a crack ... which is what I have already done with the odd mark or dent in a piece.
But minis don't make any impression on it at all under their own weight.

Hope that helps.

I honestly thought it was a model I'd never seen. lol

The paint job really does bring it together.

Thanks for the info, I have been building some stuff lately and black undercoating with grey dry brush but it still seems too dark to me, but I am only doing about 3 dry brushes, maybe thats the problem, I wondered if you started off with a grey rather than black it would be lighter overall.

:D Yay ... Go me! Really simple head swap .... and the egyptian head from the greater Deamon did all the work ... from coming up with the idea to the paint job. :D

I guess it is down to how muh you let show through. I guess my first (Dark Grey) I probably paint 90% leaving a tiny bit of black showing through. Then the next grey 70 % then the next grey 50% ... so at least half of it has been painted mid grey .... but where I think I am getting the result is i keep going through lighter and lighter greys almost up to (but not quite pure white. .... so I have gone frpm the blackest black all the way up to pure white.
