- Proverbs 18:10
Life, work and Kinchlets haven't left much time for other activities of late, but I've been pushing on with a few things here and there. This is the venerable and much fought over Battlemasters Tower from the MB game of the same name.
Not sure what I will do with the banner, but that it future Kinch's problem
This was very simple really. I primed the tower in standard grey and then gave it an undercoat of brown. I prefer brown for an undercoat for stone because it makes it seem less stark and cold. I just prefer the effect.
I have a lot of old citadel paint which is on the way out and I've just fallen in love with AK colours so I won't be buying anymore, so the used up what I had. The base with a heavy stippling of Russ grey, which is quite blueish, but then a lighter drybrush of Fenrisian grey over the top of that. I then hit the model with some shades and diluted contrast paints just to add a bit of variety to the colour and tied it all together with a drybrush of Ulthuan Grey.
Gave the Temu dry brush a go
I got these for a few quid on Temu and I hadn't tried them before. They seem to do the business here, particularly I was jamming them into the pots to get the last of the paint out of the bottom.
The doors were just left in the brown undercoat and I washed them with some brown ink and then painted in some wood grain with Contrast Snakebite leather. The tower is mostly done, but I'll finish it off this week.
Also the boy and I were struck down with the same tummy trouble a few weeks ago, something I suspect he brought home from school.
Regardless, we spent a day on the couch feeling very sorry for ourselves, watching Stranger Things and building this rather handsome COBI (a sort of Polish Lego knockoff) Spitfire, which was a gift from a dear friend of ours. Time well spent. It is now happily dangling from the ceiling of the kids room. I'm wondering if it should be joined by a 109 or a 190 of some kind.
