  1. I clear sprayed a Brehk's gantry system. In an hour, I will give it another coat. Earlier, I sprayed two small pieces of scatter terrain. I had spare GW terrain flooring I made into a gantry or a ramp for Infinity a few years back. It was red and clear coated. Making it metallic again was a chore. The clear coat protected the model so the new layers of paint did not want to go on, but I slowly made it work. The piece is has been washed with inks, but I am waiting for that to dry. I painted this up through the layers last night. It is aquarium gravel filters over GW bulkhead I was given by @Blustormyears ago. The filter needs to be sanded for paint to stick. The underside is re-enforced with plas-card strips. And If you are using acrylic paints, mix raw umber with your metals to start the dirty, decayed look.
  2. Should I be painting models? Yes. Am I? No. Basically, I am looking for a color scheme. I do not like the look of the models painted on the box. White should be Howling Banshees, White Scars, or maybe Slanneshi Daemonettes, but not Dwarfs. With the Leagues of Votann coming out soon, I looked to a few ideas as color examples. This green is a good start, but I was liking a bit more olive or oat green. The problem is most of my WHFB Dwarfs are have green clothing. I am liking the orange scheme. There are several variations, but I like the idea of survival suits. Here are few examples that I have seen painted Thoughts?
  3. The latest Sump City Radio podcast is up. One of the silly shorts I wrote while on vacation made their letters section. It made my day.
  4. @bkieftpicked up this. It sucks in paint, but it is very durable. To get a good dirty, bolt metal look, you can mix a Dryad Bark (dark brown) with chainmail or Bolt Metal. This is the first few levels of the rust. I finished the rest tonight. Tomorrow, I will spray seal it and add photos.
