About Me

London, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Test Paint - Sci-Fi Building

 


With the Japanese finished and out of the way, I decided to spend some time today doing a test paint on the SciFi building I had primed yesterday. The main colours (walls, doors and roof) were airbrushed, then I did the rest by hand.




This piece is the entrance to a shopping centre, so I opted for bright colours. I quite like how they came out and will carry it through to the other sections. For the pre-fab housing I will probably go for a more neutral scheme with bright accents.

    So much sci-fi scenery these days has the bloody GW grimdark aesthetic that it's refreshing to see a piece painted in such bold and bright colours. Nicely done!

      Cheers! :)

      I think it depends a great deal on where you look. Scenery for Infinity is often clean and brightly coloured.

    Looks cool - I have the same set and it's made a couple of appearances on my home battlefield. What sort of primer / surface prep did you do? I have found that MDF is just a paint sponge and have a bear of a time trying to get good coverage without a heavy dose of primer to seal the surface.

      Thanks! :)

      I airbrushed Vallejo Surface primer on. I had thought it might get soaked up, but it seems not to have done that. With other MDF that I have primed using rattle cans, it seems to depend on the primer.
