My 7 year old daughter and I painted up the Mines of Moria terrain this week. She did the dry brushing (all the columns, the well, the rubble piles we made from sprue) and I did the detail work.









She really enjoyed helping out. We're going to tackle the figure next.

Looks good and tell her good job from me . Have you got a recipe for your scheme? trying to get mine done.

That's pretty good work! Not a lot of seven year olds would have the patience to do all that work -- how long did it take her to do all that?

It all looks fantastic. My compliments to BOTH artists (:

Very well done to both of you!

I will tell her and can bet she will grin from ear to ear. Thanks for the compliment.

We worked for 30-60 minutes an evening after homework was done. She loves it.

It was pretty simple.

Black spray primer (cheap store brand)

Big glop of Folkart white next to big glop of Folkart black craft paints on an old plastic coffee lid, mix the middle of the glops to get different gray shades, add glop fo brown to get some tannish grays.

*I use the big bottles of cheap craft paints for terrain projects. All the detail was also done with cheap craft paints but I get those colors in the normal sized bottles.

Drybush a few shades onto each piece, getting lighter as you go.

Pick out some individual rocks/sections with the tannish colors to make them stand out.

You can't see it in the pictures but I also filled in the bottom of the well with a piece of plastic card cut to fit then glued in so that the table won't show through.

I have an urban terrain mat (2ft squared) from http://theterrainguy.com/cigama.html we'll use as a playing area.
