I gave it a black and raw umber undercoat and then dabbed that blue on top with a sponge - I did salt weathering on the roof to do the blue instead and then touched up spots with a sponge.

That's one gorgeous piece.  :-* :-* :-*
I really need to get started on my PV diner. ::)

Keep it up, your Wasteland is looking suitably ...ehm....Wasteland-ish? Love the overall look.

Tonight I whipped up some water tokens for use in the water collection mission in TnT. Players collect water from an old tanker or whatever and try to get water off the battlefield. Models have to drag the water around and it can be stolen. Really like how these turned out!

Mmm, cool and refreshing! Very water like. I'd argue that in the post apocalypse Jerry cans and bowls would be used though ;)

Looks brilliant.

And that water won't always be so clean and fresh...

But they stand out nicely as counters or objective markers for something valuable... Where did they come from before you worked your magic on them?

True !

Looks like those 1/35 Meng Models bottles.

Had a busy hobby weekend. Got my two big buildings prepped for paint and in the meantime I finished my Nuka Cola soda stand! Really happy with how it turned out. These past couple months have been a really fun learning experience and I am feeling pretty confident in how the quality of my terrain has improved as the process has gotten easier.
