Been a chaotic week coming up-to Christmas, Kids breaking up, school plays and everything else. Theres been little time to myself where I haven't just wanted to veg out on the sofa. I have managed a couple of sessions on my ruined post apoc building and the end is insight and hopefully for the second deadline (23rd December) having missed the first at the beginning of the month.
Its pretty much finished really, I've mostly been weathering it and picking out details here and there drybrushing etc. I just need to add the foliage and vegetation growing up the walls so hopefully that should all be done for the next time I post.
Applying washes in various shades.
Drybrushing back up to the light grey colour adding more white each time. Also basecoated the wood areas.
Final bits of weathering on the wood. Applied green ink in areas where the foliage is to be attached then stippled on camo green for lichen type effect.
Other bits.
I've started work on some goblins for the fantasy game hopefully they'll be finished by next weekend then I can get them varnished and a game with the kids the following week on the run up to New Years Eve.
I say Simon that is a cracking piece of work and looks the biz
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Now I can see the end in sight its become more enjoyable.
DeleteSImon, this is just brill and I'm still in awe how you made this. Just cracking stuff and I've thoroughly enjoyed following your progress on this both here and on EoTD FB. Many thanks :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks it was really simply if time consuming todo. Key thing is to have the patience to wait for it to dry between stages. I may do a tutorial in the New Year. I also may do some more buildings seeing how easy this one was todo really.
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeletejajaja es lo que tiene estas fiestas,que todo son prisas y caos.
Bueno ese edificio si señor
UN SALUDO Y FELICES FIESTAS
J.D.
Thanks J.d Yes it is always chaos this time of year lol. Greetings and Happy Holidays to you and your family!
DeleteIt does look good. All you need is another 20-30 of them for variety and a nicely packed table. Just kidding mate it really is cracking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. Its inspired me to make some more like it. Perhaps not as big mind. :P
DeleteI do hope you do make some more. A table full would be stunning.
DeleteIt's all coming together really well and should make for a very impressive centre piece to your gaming table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. Lets hope so I may make another one of similar size but will see what packaging we get this Christmas will decide on that.
DeleteThat is really going well Simon, the weathering is superb and I especially love the greenish tinge you are adding!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I've done that as its where the foliage is going to cover. I've not done it before so not sure what to expect or how it will cover. Its mainly as a guide and to prevent the gaps underneath just being grey.
DeleteDrrooooollll! Looks ace!
ReplyDeleteCheers Buddy!! :) Heres a paper cup :)
DeleteGreat looking ruin with some very fine effects and the all important space for figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe just a few more bits todo and its completed.
DeleteLovely work dude! That will look amazing on the table.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob :)
DeleteWell cool
ReplyDeleteCheers :0
DeleteIt is looking great, and will be even better with the finishing touches. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks finished off the last bits tonight. Just waiting for it to dry completely and its done, There is ladder to finished off but it will just need drybrushing once its dried.
Deletehope you'll survive the Christmas week ahead without any harm :)
ReplyDeleteHa I hope so too!
DeleteLooking better and better. I really like the green mold in spots on the walls, that adds a lot. Good stuff mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks its the base for the foliage to go over. You'll see what I mean when I get some pics of the finished building tomorrow or the day after.
DeleteFabulous looking terrain, Simon. Love the weathering and "wet" look of the whole piece. Being in the Pacific NW, I can certainly appreciate the look.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean. I though about staining the walls more but I am quite happy with as is for now. Next job is to return to the LOTR Ruins I did before and add some greenery.
DeleteLovely piece, Simon. Really cool element!
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy.
DeleteGreat work simon.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate.
DeleteI love it! The lay out was really well done and painting always makes things look even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks finished it this morning. Shall take some completed pics this afternoon
DeleteI love it Simon! See those little details can really pay off in the end.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, great job, very realistic!
