Tents

Made these tents for What a Cowboy and any RPGs.  28mm.

I plan to add a little storm lantern to the front spar on the large one.

Simple build with bits of linen over folded heavy card, cocktail sticks and brown felt for the blankets.

Then some weathering with a little brown wash.

Washing line

Even in the wild west, someone was doing the washing!
made this for the little farm buildings I'm making, to give them some flavour and even cover.

Cutting the items out from 'wet-wipe' material was a nightmare, but it came out 'ok' I think.
I tried to give them some colour, with a light ink wash, but soon realised that the wash wouldn't 'take' where the glue had dried. Never mind, good enough for some fun scatter terrain :-)

Dead Trees

Cheap 3d prints from Temu again.
They needed a wash to remove oils, and I drilled them from underneath and glued into the holes some old lead fishing shot. This gave them some weight to stop them moving around on the tabletop.

Simple prime, basecoat and several different dry brushes gave a decent enough result.
Will be good for lots if different games.

Ruins

Found these on the Chinese website Temu.  3d printed, quality is 'ok', but not amazing.  However they were just a few quid, and came out rather nicely.

Primed white. Heavy wash with DIY black wash. Lots of moss and plants. Done :-)

Cactus

Had a friend 3d print these for me in resin. They came out really well.  But one of them snapped off and leaked resin, so after some time under a UV lamp to re-cure the stump, some water rinses, and a foam rock to hide it all, I was able to prime them.

Paint was white primer, Citadel dark green Contrast paint, then a good drybrush with a sandy tone. A sandy base finished them off with a little diluted brown wash here and there to break up the sand colour.  A medium sand colour did for the foam rock.
I'm really pleased with how they came out.

Spray Primer

Made an interesting discovery....

Plastikote Primer tends to dry rather shiny, a bit thick, and....well...'Plasticky'.  This has now left me several times with a model that is almost hydrophobic to Acrylics and been a pain to finish.

Hycote Primer spray cans on the other hand have proven to give a really good thin prime, with a nice matte finish and great tooth for subsequent layers.

 

Lesson learnt.....

Hycote for models.
Plastikote for craft projects !

Mine Entrance

A 3d printed Mine entrance for What a Cowboy skirmish game or any RPGs.

A simple grey primer, black paint, then light grey drybrush for the rocks.
A light brown then light grey to try and get that old silvered wood effect on the supports.
A little rust effect on the bolt plates.

Simple but good for fun games. Wont be used a vast amount, but nice to have in the collection.

Castle Ruins

 

Another cheap buy from Temu. 3d Print is 'good enough'.
Another wash with my DIY  'Nuln oil'  and lots of careful plants added.  Looks far better than it has any right to !

Well well well.

Well, its only one well, actually.

A little 3d print I made myself in a 3d design program.  Fun to do but very time consuming.  New respect for designers. 
Paint job came out 'well' enough for the table...(sorry).

Cart

A great model cart.  I liked the wood tones from the laser cutting so much, I skipped wet painting it, and simply added a careful heavy drybrush of grey then brown, and based it on sand.  Love how this came out.
