Agree - I see many sessions with brown ink washes in your future

Red barrels, green barrels, blue barrels... all of them rusty! What was I thinking...

I would paint them all white, paint some as that faded blue and/or red and then go to town with a brown wash. The wash you can do 3-4 times, allowing some barrels only to be done once, twice, three or even four times. This will allow a variation in colour (remembering to let each wash to fully dry).

This will be the closest thing to a diorama I've done, vehicle bases and the odd building are the largest so far.
Hopefully all part of the learning curve that will one day be a load of 4 x 6' boards...

Got some primer down

Should also get around to finishing off the Paradak

Looks promising 👍

Got a bit more done; made some grass tufts and painted the barrels.

Looks good - you want to keep it simple to act as a backdrop for the vehicles/miniatures.

Nearly done with this; chicken wire and tarmac weathering...

The drums in particular look spot on.

Inspiring stuff! And you make the grass tufts yourself, Ash?

Cool!

I really like this thread, informative, good pictures and good advice, as well as inspiration!

Cheers all for the feedback.

Got the netting up, will need to trim some of it and think about how to weather it a bit...

@FreakyFenton: I could never get any great continuity in the tufts I found online, always a different mix of colours; so i bought some 4mm 'dead grass' & 6mm 'straw coloured grass' and had a go at tufts and also putting some down direct on the base. I was surprised at how hefty a shock a battery opperated static applicator could deliver when handelled badly..!

Hrm, fair enough! Always prioritize work safety though!

The board looks nice though, who makes the netting?
