Time to show you all what I have been up to lately. In the VC plog I recently showed you some pics of a Mordheim Warband I'm working on. There has been some progress there and hopefully I can make an update on that later today or tomorrow. For now, in this plog, I'm gonna show ou another project related to Mordheim that I've been working on, the terrain.
To start of, here are parts of the city that I've been building, the parts that have gotten no longer than being built:
All of these building are built using Foamcore. Cut to shape and glue together using a hot glue gun. Wooden details have been made from balsa wood. I've also used a lot of details printed with a 3D-printer, with designs I've made myself. The sky is really the limit here, been using it to make mostly windows, doorways and edge decorations, but there are lots of other details that could be made. Sadly the 3D-printer I have been using its having some hiccups currently so I've had to take a break in the process of building these ruins.
That has left me with time to move on in the process however, towards painting. The next step is sealing the exposed foam of the foamcore with wooden glue. This makes it easier to paint and much more durable. After that I give the building some texture using this:
These two ruins are currently in that stage of the process:
Here you can possibly see the texture a bit:
After that, it is time for painting. So far I have painted 3 ruins, check them out below:
Here you can really see the effect of the texture. With just some simple drybrushes the walls of the ruins get a wonderful feel. The stone ones are painted just using a basecoat and 2 or 3 drybrushes, with an extra bright drybrush on the details to make them stand out. The timber framed house was also given texture on the walls, which was the drybrushed. the timber framing was painted brown and the roof a brown with a slight tone of red.
That is all for now, but hopefully more to come.
