BSC2019 Elk101's Ancient Tree

[von Lucky]

Looking good - I like the choice of sickly yellow/brown. Maybe with a contrast ink wash (red)?

The old GW paint snakebite leather may be a nice color too

Funnily enough I was looking at that but don't have enough left. I also thought about Tau Sept Ochre as a base, perhaps with a peat ink wash.

Get a tester pot from B&Q. Only three quid

Probably the best bet. I'll have a look and see what's available.

This looks great. I can't wait to see it finished in the line up.

Unfortunately my photography isn't great as I'm entirely reliant on my phone.

I picked up a load of cheap tester pots from B&Q so I'll experiment with those. One is a yellow ochre as suggested.

I haven't been idle with this, I've repainted the main tree at least three times trying to get a scheme I'm happy with. Now I need to select a suitable foliage material. No photos though as that would be breaking the rules!

[OSHIROmodels]

Looking forward to seeing it 

[Elk101]

I'm kind of hoping for a 'Eureka' moment with the foliage.

Have you tried glitter?

Have you tried glitter?

Hehehe been there done that

[Blackwolf]

I'm kind of hoping for a 'Eureka' moment with the foliage.

Maybe dried Oregano/basil et cetera?

Looking good!

[Elk101]

I've now got a paint scheme I'm happy with, so that will probably help determine the foliage colour and texture now it's done. I think I'll pass on the glitter this time.
