The reverse works also Ypu.
Starting with a light colour & darkening down will yield different & interesting results.
As is experimenting with other colours.

Aye true, my reasoning is this case is that a floor plate will see a lot wear and tear, and with the base material being black I like to build up from there so any scuffing will look darker and hopefully blend in with the intentional weathering.

I gave the sponge method a try.

This was my attempt at an earth floor in a grassed compount. Just brown parcel paper and three colours of dabbed paint. I was delighted with the result.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

Cheers chaps! Not sure when I'll get to mission 2, but I'm hoping to roll up the next social drama this weekend, and we all know that's what we are really here for right?

I have to say this is not really my gaming genre or scale, but after I read through your thread I immediately bought the book!  You make tiny mecha look so fun!

Where are the models and buildings from, if I may ask?

Can't wait for the next mission.

Oh wow, glad you liked it! As the book mentions you can probably use some cool tanks or other vehicles if you prefer non-mecha stuff.

Yeah I really want to get to mission 2, but real life is doing its thing atm.

That's quite the question, I'm sure I'll miss some answers here.

Air control tower landing pads, bunkers and big radar dome are brigade models
big sloped roof storage building is a cheap Chinese mdf kit I fancied up
Watchtowers are 3d files from the lazy forger.
Everything else building is old crow I think.

Figures wise, the white player mechs are from Thingyverse with some adjustments to fit the profiles better,
the bad guys are my own designs, I'm hoping to have them for sale in the coming months digitally at least.
Scattered vehicles are old dark star helicopters,
silent death fighter
blue grey fighter my own design,
APC and tanks mix of GZG hovercraft and brigade neo sov.

I think that covers most of it?
