Thanks for the kind words, it's really encouraging to get praise from great painters and modellers.

Yeah they are great miniatures, still on overstock discount from Prince August if you want any. Their usual prices strike me as a little high but the current discount is pretty hefty.

Don't tempt me!  Probably too late though...  lol

You've got a really nice painting style, and I like the varied selection of mini producers used too.

But curse you! Why did you direct me to bargain bin minis!!!  ;)

Heyup folks, long time no see. I've been doing some 40k stuff that I've posted on future wars, I also got married and went on my honeymoon! So i haven't painted anything for three weeks or so. Thought I'd get the ball rolling again with some scenery. I'm attempting a vault interior using a sarissa precision habitation pod and some scotia grendel computer banks.



 

It's a work in progress, currently just primed. I'm going to grab some tester paints from wickes i think and have a go at some highlighting and weathering. If anyone has any tips for painting mdf scenery or links to good tutorials it'd be much appreciated.

Great stuff, I really, really like the Mitch Hunter paintjob. Lovely mini, great repurpose.

Top stuff! Really liking this thread.

I recently weathered the Knights of Dice MDF petrol station. This was my first major MDF terrain piece and it took way longer than I expected. I'll post some pictures tonight and give a few observations about the weathering process that might help if that seems good to you.

That'd be awesome thanks! It's definitely a big change from figures and vehicles. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi mate,

Here's three photos showing the stages I went through for my weathering:

1 - Paint with 'original' colours:



I just used the base colours I thought would look good. I painted after fully assembling the kit. Had I my time again I'd definitely try to paint as least some parts before assembly. I guess post-apocalypse is a lot more forgiving as mistakes can be hidden under weathering.

2 - Washes and inks:



After the 'original' coat was done I used a variety of thinned washes and inks to try to bring out the detail I was after. Stuff like the mortar work with the brinks and suchlike. I used mainly browns and blacks but got a pretty good result from grey in for the pink tiles.

3 - Drybrushing, highlights, weathering power and extra touches:



I used drybrushing with varying degrees of care (and success) to vary the colour and give it a more 'washed out' look. I also tried to apply some rust effects to the metal siding at the bottom of the model and on the stand-alone sign. I then splashed about some weathering power I picked up cheap at a local convention. I'd never used the stuff before and found the lighter colours just didn't show through. The real winner, for mine, was the violet. After that I glued on some tufts, static grass and model railway grass to make it look neglected.

More photos can be seen on this thread:

I hope this is helpful

Happy to expand further or post soem photos of the interior if that'd help.

Thanks Muzfish, that should be really useful. Were you using miniature paints for it or something else?

Another update in afraid, but no vault yet! Because I'm easily distracted I ordered some Brother Vinni models and some heads off shapeways. I've combined the two and I bring you the Brother Vinni Power Armoured Hero with T-51b helmet.







I'm considering buying a light box to take better photos, I tend to finish painting at night and it's hard to get good photos without natural light.

Good job! I like the clean style. Looks great.

It's not big, or clever, but let's do it anyway
