As always they are based on MDF slightly rounded on the edges, painted on both sides to reduce warp. The paint I use is Resene Calico. Then I cover the whole building with a wash of Scorched Brown (any reddy dark brown is good) and Tamiya acrylic thinners - make sure this mix is very thin!!!! It is better to wash several times if need be than use too dark a wash. Some variation between buildings will occur and I think this helps to keep it natural. Here is the 'Boy with Goats' house:
The happy couples house:
The Baddies hideout:
And a nice picture of the first building I did for the original post with some figures:

Wow! Looks fantastic. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery nice buildings! You need also some broken walls...
ReplyDeleteThanks Juan, yes I have some broken walls on my painting table at the moment and a few destroyed compounds. My ultimate aim is to have enough buildings for a large multiplayer game on a big table :) I also aim to do a few of the large Kabul buildings...now if work didn't get in the way...
DeleteCraig - fantastic as usual, can't wait to play on the terrain. I think we are very spoilt having you as our terrain builder. A good reminder also to complete the "boy with goats" rule, which the rest of you will see in Sangin Despatches No.2
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, great looking buildings, very realistic!
ReplyDeleteWhen can we expect dispatches no.2??? Loving these rules, breath of fresh air!
