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.
Mortius Thanks. Yep I agree the blood is to flat/matt ....It looks worse in the pictures than real life but still I'm not to happy with it. I had planned to go back with some inks and gloss varnish at some point to try and make it look more bloody/slippery/ucckkky.

I decided that mutant town needed a power supply to run things like heaters and maybe a few lights (could be used for air purifiers too but it's probably a bit late for mutants to worry about such things).

Luckily I got my big box of random resin bits from Ramshackle games yesterday. Among the things I had ordered was a small resin bunker/building which I decided to use as a power station/generator. At first I thought about making it run on pig poo (like Mad Max 3) but in the end decided a wind generator might make sense in the mountains.

So up are below are a few pictures of the station I cobbled up out of junk and some ramshackle bits last night. It's been primed with Humbrol silver spray and just needs painting now and then it can be added to the mountain.

Quick update I've now finished painting up the wind/power station for my mutant town. I added a brass etched warning sign to the front door and went for a rusty dirty paint job. Unfortunately the wind station didn't quite fit in the spot I'd set aside for it so I had to build a balsa wood platform for it to sit on (and still needs painting)

A few more pictures of some of the detailing I've been doing to the shacks. Mostly I've added some odd bits of furniture to the interiors provided by Blackcat bases. Like the Chop 'ouse I've tried to not over do the details at the expense of play ability.

On the outside I've added chimney stacks and heating/air purifier vents to the roofs and walls provided by Ramshackle games. I've also got a whole load off resin metal plates from Ramshackle that I'm going to paint up and add to the shacks walls and roofs for extra.... errr.... ramshackleness.

Absolutely beautiful work man. Brings a big old tear to my eye. The shanties, the chop house, the random debris and detritus, the makeshift barricades.... all flawlesly seamed into a single settlement. Brilliant work, I tip my hat to you sir.
