Thanks! I started off priming the MDF with barbarian spray primer, instead of the usual black or gray.

Then I used Vallejo Game Color Orange Fire to splotch on the mdf. I wiped a little off first so it wasn't too thick. Let that dry for about 5 minutes, then washed with AK Interactive Deep Shades Black Night. Let it dry, a few very light orang splotches, then a few light Army Painter spoltches with Gun Metal.

Thats it. The Deep Shade provides all the depth, and the light splotching over that helps give color variations. Going to try it on some corrigated paper to see if it works the same this afternoon.

Thanks for sharing the 'how'. Seems to be a very effective technique.

Working on a cargo container to merchant stall conversion.

Cargo container merchant about half built, then paint.

Good looking terrain. You have nice rust effects going on.

Thanks Tommy! Having fun building them.

Got some other work done on some more buildings

I have no idea why they are sideways. When you click on them they are right side up. Shrug.

Try cropping your images so they aren't so tall and skinny.
I think the forum software is trying to be efficient with display space.
MS Paint is good and simple for doing that.

Another one built, about eight more to go before I can start painting. Just primed (I use a couple colors to prime with, helps to keep things looking worn). Also some work in progress pics.

Awesome looking terrain! Really creative stuff!

The sideways pics seem to happen when you attach images to the post. If you upload them to the gallery and then paste in links to your post they always come out good… though it is a bit more work

Another project that never got done, working on it some today. Loads of details to pick out and need to build supports for the orange tarp.

Sunday is my hobby day, the one day a week I can just get silly with whatever. Painting stuffs today.

Coming along nicely!

LIttle more work done on it.

Really liking these good combination of GW bitz and scratchbuilt

Finished this up the other day, moving it to the done pile. Still a couple things I can work on paint wise on it, but good enough for the table.

Nice!
