Yep, that's really nice! You cannot underestimate the impact of terrain pieces like this on the atmosphere of a game!

Please keep uns informed and inspired!

Re: SI's Bonnie Scotland, 17thC: 24/8 tower house core painting

Thanks all.

After spraying with grey primer I over sprayed with textured brown. This proved quite tricky as the acetone in the spray softened the PLA print and made it sticky. After a somewhat anxious wait, it all cured hard.

Since then, I've painted the core colours, to which I will need to add washes and vegetation. I always like to photo a project before the washes, so I can record the core colours before I dirty them up. So herewith the build before it gets mucky!

That looks wonderful!  :-* :-*

If there was a category for best painted fireplace, you'd have your name on that by a country mile.

Looking forward to the final result.

I think it's fair to say that this is a terrain masterpiece.

Thanks chaps, it's much appreciated.

No tsunami of images this time. Just the one showing the effect of the washes (in effect a multitude of stains).



Edit:
I haven't stained the inside as I imagine that to be dry, cosy and warm.
