When I suggested that these might be finished yesterday I had forgotten to take into account the effect of temperature on drying times. When I produced the test pieces the ambient temperature was over 30C; it's now just over 20C resulting in longer drying times for glue and paint.
But they are done now, after much faffing around trying to replicate the colour scheme from the test pieces. I've got reasonably close I think:

The paints used for these were all tester pots of matt emulsion paint from Wilko - Vintage Burgundy, Nutmeg Spice, Jelly Bean, Peach Blush and Soft Cream. I now have an 18l Really Useful Box full of terrain for Strontium Dog, which is more than enough to be going on with (OK, maybe a few small scatter pieces of rock could get added at some point).
While I'm still prepping the figures for my "Infamy, Infamy!" project I will be carrying on with making terrain - I need to make up several pieces of woods and marsh. And then a few small fields and habitation (I'll need to get all the resin prepped and painted for those though).
They look great
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous Tamsin, great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking terrain Tamsin!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on all Tamsin, the variation between them gives them a more natural feel
ReplyDeleteWell done Tamsin! Always great to find uses for foam so it doesn't end up in a landfill!
ReplyDelete@ Neil - thanks! :)
ReplyDelete@ Michael A - cheers! :)
@ Ray - thanks! :)
@ Dave Stone - cheers! :)
@ Terry - thanks! These were blue craft foam, and only the small bits on top of a few of them were scrap from cutting the main bits. :)
Nice, I've had some luck getting that good foam from construction sites, where I've asked if I could snag the larger cast off bits for the hobby. They are usually pretty good to say yes
DeleteThose are quite as good as I expected them to be, and well worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteThey came out well.
ReplyDelete@ Herkybird - cheers! :)
ReplyDelete@ Paul SS - thanks! :)
