I really like that green armour - what colours did you use?

Cheers.
It's army painter turquoise and secret weapon green wash, mixed about 50/50 then highlighted with a turquoise and white mix.
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

I picked this up for a few quid from plastcraft games.

As a modeller and not a huge gamer I'm always skeptical of pre painted stuff.It's basically stealing my fun! But i also know that plastcraft make good scenery having assembled some of it for work.
I got this in the post today, built it over breakfast and you know what? It's a really good set of big and medium scenery. The colour is neutral enough to not draw too much scrutiny but nicely detailed, the white edges are easy to ignore but can be covered with paint or pen and what texture there is adds well to the overall look.
I'd say that while alot of budget terrain is little more than a MDF box, This stuff provides you with a nice base to build from .The shapes are more than a normal rectangle and you could really go to town with adding extra texture and detailing ( as i plan to do.) so this stuff gives you a really nice support structure to work from and build some unique scenery pieces.

Also got my photobooth back out so look how not crap these photos are!
