That is a work of art.  :o

Especially love the brickwork and the way everything comes together. Perfect 5/7 would definitely play.

Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

That's impressive the colors are very natural.  :-* The only thing i would add is some rust to the lamp post.

I was not sure about the rust on lamps, but your advice is probably good. I'll do that ;)

Great brickwork indeed !
As for the lamp post : yes, add rust if it's a steel one. However if you paint it copper/bronze you could use verdigris for a blue/green accent.

Also, since you don't have access to an airbrush there are some other ways :
liquid rubber/latex, dabbed onto the rusted model with a sponge.Just rub it off after you(ve painted your color over it.
Alternatively you could dab rust colors onto your already painted model with a sponge.
IIRC I used Maskol on these :

Oh, you'll need a sponge that's not too dense (or even nature sponge)
Also for rust : LifeColor's rust paint set is awesome, and for a faster method : modelmates rust effect (although this stuff is hell on brushes)

P.S. where's that building from or is it scrachtbuild?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,

Thanks for the tips, Zizi! I've tried masking liquid but that peels of the underlying paint too... Now gotta put that natural sponge I bought from Istanbul in 2007 to use. So far I've used it only occasionally to scare my wife :P

Ed. It's scratch-built (commercial parts).

You can always put a layer of varnish over the rust paint before applying the maskol (I don't think I had to, but if so, I'd have sprayed a layer of anti-shine)

Thanks for the comments! Completed two more board pieces:

I might return to these to add some trash/rubble and some green shades, but for now these will do. Any suggestions are welcome as always :)

Amazing looking terrain  :-* Some junk and rubble spread around would take it to 11

Wonderful work on the minis and terrain!  :-*

It will all look stunning when finished (if one can ever call a project finished :D )

If you need more scatter terrain, have you plans for road signs, billboards, tyre piles, barrels etc?

Btw, great nickname that pahvivalmiste :)

Wonderful. That warehouse has just enough debris to be still very playable and with enough texture to be interesting. That's my style 8) 8)

Most board pieces already have some items, but I feel this and some others could benefit from extra stuff - Mainly visual/aesthetical like small pipe pieces, coils, trash etc. I have a plan (and somerhing in the closet) :)

Two more pieces ready, with cars:

PIC

Van is from Crooked Dice, wreck from Project Zeke and shot-up car from Ainsty. Road sign is Tamiya and I rushed it... I've managed to paint two other cars and some other stuff but those pieces are not finished yet - wanted to do these to get something done :) Comments welcome.
