Another Brutal Tower Block Building

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Once the - painting was complete, i allowed to dry and highlight with a mild colour khaki, then a touch dry brush of magnolia

The - paint colours were paint pots samples from any cheap DIY, these colours are dark brown and a orange.

The dry grass is from a hanging basket for plant, just cut pieces out and pull apart, the fibres are perfect, very cheap and lots of it, will last you years and save you a fortune.

I have seen models of ruin buildings and the iron bars that stick out from broken floor levels, people use cocktail sticks, i wanted the bends and to show them that they took some sort of damage, use paper clips was the answer for me.

Well i am working on my third now and its going to be so much better as i found some great tips in creating iron grills for damaged floors.
