I've had the table for a few years but never got around to painting it.
Over the last weekend I broke it out for a game and thought I would
whip some paint on it.


First is a naked shot:


My first step was to use Krylon Black on the cliffs, cracks and skull pits.


I then used Krylon Ruddy Brown over the whole surface, going a little light
on the black parts to keep the shading in. Also its worth it to mention I going
for a "surface of Mars" look.


To break up the single color I used Krylon Camo Tan in thin strips.


I also used a brighter red spray and gave it a dusting, but it did not show in the
picture.

Next up was a multistage approach. I used Woodland Scenic brick red and
coal black ballast. I mixed the two into a cardboard ice cream tub, poked some
holes on the top and taped it on. I used a spray gun to spray PVA glue over the
surface and sprinkled the mixture. I did two to three coats and then over sprayed
the whole thing with the glue again, when dry I used Krylon Matt Seal over the whole
thing. For a finishing touch I used GW Null Oil on the cracks, cliffs and pits, and then
drybrushed the skull pits. I plan on going back to add water effects on the skull pits.


The Null Oil was freshly added so it still looks wet, once dry I also used Matt Sealer on it.



To help the cliffs and such stand out I used light coats of the Camo tan an some Grey
spray paint I had laying around to give it light coats to bring it back to the surface.

Total work time, 2 days.

I'm not seeing any images.

no pic's there, im blind, im blind !!!

Thanks for letting me know, had to wait until I got home before I could fix it, please let me know if you can see them now.

Looks very good!

What did you paint with the Null Oil? That part wasn't clear to me. Just the skulls?

I used the Null Oil on the cliffs, the cracks and the skull pits, you can see it better in the last pic in order to make them stand out a little more.

It looks wonderful! I might have to steal this idea for a table. I'm getting tired of rolling green plains.

Congrats on your table! I got mine awhile back and have been thoroughly pleased with it...yours looks great!
