Ivan - The markings were a first attempt to show the direction a model was facing and its 180 degree arc after one too many in game 'discussions' about a models facing. It will be getting painted over so the edge of the base is black. And since then i have taken to masking the base off and spraying a gradient using the airbrush which gives a much nicer effect.

Finished a Karakuri for my Yu Jing.









Painting white is hard!

*blows dust off thread*

Not really painted much recently but just finished up weathering some bits of junk/ terrain. These used to be noodle cups.



After painting added some sponge chipping and then enamel streaking. Then got carried away and added some chipping/ streaking to some Proxie barriers i had already painted up.



Everything looks better when its weathered!

Sweet, I hate missing threads like this one, gonna have to go back and check the rest out but your Murderbot and terrain are great

Very nice work, did you use an airbrush?

And since I didn't comment on them before, lovely work on the Bjork-droids (Karikuri). Very soft blend with the white and blue, and nice fine detail work - works very well!

Thanks @ Pacific - Yeah the base painting on the junk and barriers was airbrushed and then the chipping/ streaking added after.

So i picked up some Deadzone terrain sprues cheap off ebay just because. Got a couple of buildings assembled and started on painting them.









And another building pre-weathering.





The colours were supposed to match some of the Proxie barriers i posted before but they ended up a lot darker due to all the weathering. So i may to go back over the barriers to get them to match!

I had to make up some extra sets of ladders as i only got a single set of accessory sprues. Top tip - some of the straight bits of sprue from the connector sprue are the same width and length as the ladder uprights so all you need are some bits of plasticard for the rungs!

And 'deadzoning' up a pringles tube just because i had some lying about.

Lookin good! I like the shapes of your buildings.

More great stuff! Seems all the infinity players are also great painters on here! I like the more traditional military coloring. i've thought about painting my PanO grunts in a german Flecktarn coloring to keep a germanic theme to go with my Teutonic knight(s)

Wow love your stuff mate!

Well i was hoping to update this thread with a finished Guijia from the Git 'er Done thread but i managed to drop it off a table and now its in pieces. On the plus side it will make painting some bits of the model a lot easier!

But in the meantime i finished up another small deadzone building.









I've added some shutters from bits of plasticard to the big windows as they were a bit too open for my liking. I think i might retrofit this to some of the other buildings that i've already finsihed as it helps cut down lines of sight through the buildings. Just need to add some chipping/ scratches to the orange bits and then its ready for varnish.

Looks really nice. The band of half-tiles gives it an interesting shape/size compare to the norm. Roof mini tower also looks quite functional. I like the shutters, especially useful for situations and games in which you won't be using interiors.

Thanks Grim. Using the half panels meant i was able to get two decent sized buildings from the scenery upgrade pack. I also had a load of them left over from the first buildings i made.

The interior of the building is still usable as the roof comes off and it still has two other windows so you can see out. Having the third window made it practically impossible to place the windows and not have lines of sight through the building. Which kind of defeats the purpose of having a building there in the first place!

Those orange accent stripes work very well.

See, I think you're doing it right. I was all concerned about using the half tiles for stuff like walkways and what not...but 1/2" hardware cloth (grid of metal wires used to pen in small animals like chickens and various other farm/home purposes, if you don't call it that in your area) with a smaller metal mesh like one would use for the insect screening in a screen door or window make pretty passable metal walkways. Even plasticard and wood for more ramshackle crossings.

So I think I'll be stealing your thought process there and expanding choice buildings with half tile bits. Good idea
