Work on this project has rather slowed as I'm still waiting on various bits to finish my mutant hill town. In the mean time I thought I'd start painting some of the shacks. I've started on the side with the toxic waterfall and hopefully the pictures can give you an idea of the look I'm going for. Lots of browns, rusty metal and the odd bright colour from some piece of scrap. I've still got a ton of stuff to do on this project. Including * painting the rest of the shacks * detailing on the shacks * sorting out the two cave interiors * detailing the mountain with rubbish and rock piles * adding vegetation and dead trees Loads to do but my enthusiasm levels are still high so I'll keep chipping away at at taking breaks to paint up more miniatures or build small scenery pieces when I need a break. I have no idea how long it will take to finish but I think (hope) it will be worth it. |

Thanks guys I managed a little more progress last night. My order from Black Cat bases arrived yesterday so I can start detailing the shacks. So first up I finished of the Chop 'ouse with some interior detail. It would be very easy to go overboard on the detail but this is a gaming piece and there needs to be room to move miniatures around. So I've tried to give an impression of what this shack is used for while leaving plenty of floor space for miniatures. Next up putting some detail in the housing shacks. |

No the manager at my branch of the Evil empire didn't trust me to make scenery I spent my days running endless intro games of 40K or warhammer with snotty nosed 11 year olds. If anyone enjoys their gaming hobby to much I can suggest taking employment with GW which will quickly suck all the joy ou of it....

Having got my package from Black Cat bases I set about creating my rubbish tip under the housing shacks. I wanted the area beneath the shacks to look like somewhere the mutants would dump their rubbish. I started off by carving some irregular shapes from polystyrene packaging and then carved out holes to sit the larger pieces of rubbish, like the freezer and sofa, into. I textured the polystyrene with floor tile grout and sank cork boulders into it. When the grout had dried I painted up the pieces (easier than doing it when they're stuck to the board) and then glued then down to the terrain board. While the glue was drying I started painting up lots of extras pieces of junk (look closely at the pictures see what you can find). Then I used more tile grout and cork boulders to blend my polystyrene humps into the board and then painted them up to match the rest of the hill. Then I glued all my extra junk in among the rocks and added bushes and grass tufts to finish off the whole effect. To be honest my crappy photography skills don't really do this little area of mutie mountain justice. I'm really pleased how well it came out. My package from Ramshackle games turned up today so now I have a load more detail/junk to add still loads more to do before I'm finished. |

Just a tip for you, mix your blood red with a small amount of chestnut ink and a small amount of PVA for a realistic blood splash, then get an old toothbrush and flick paint off it for droplets, then a gloss varnish, looks ace, IMHO it looks a little flat. |
