The boys over at d6 Generation talked about this a while ago and had some great ideas. I am thinking some Mechrite Red and a black wash will give me what I want. Maybe some bleached bone dry brushed over too. <br /><br />I agree with you though that the second one that is the textured paint and a dry brush looks the best. I only did the wash to darken down the base and thus brighten up the model. I am going to try it again and see how it turns out. <br /><br />The next one is going to be a leader for the Long Fangs with a missile launcher!Vurumaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100357065577809555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580524109237803146.post-38670335607394294482012-08-24T11:09:13.041-07:002012-08-24T11:09:13.041-07:00For what it's worth, I liked the second pictur...For what it's worth, I liked the second picture, although it's a bit simple.<br /><br />What about adding a few bits of sprue cut down to look like small bricks? You could paint them brick red with the basecoat color before washing everything with Nuln Oil so they look scorched/weathered. I reckon just a couple would work on a 25mm base, with more on the bigger bases with maybe a bit of slightly larger wreckage added in. They don't need to be masterpieces, just a bit more visual interest that still helps the mini stand out and be awesome.Sixgun45LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978479021149768911noreply@blogger.com
