Hi folks. It has been a while since I completed the first 2 buildings of the Volkus Sceney pack. I prepared these 2 repackaged quick fit buildings as my entry for january into 12 MoH 2025. In general I am already owning 2 sets alike, which came with the Vertigus boxed set. It was 9th Ed., correct? When I painted these, I set a more or less stadard PlastCrete colour scheme that I had oportunities to disclose in some early entries of this BLog series. Nothing rocket science: mostly a marked dry brushing with SW grey over Basilicanum grey plus some whithish light dry brush on the edges. Then detailling brass pipes, red doors, cables and skulls... This is what it looked like in this initial iteration, years ago As I own a big amount of terrain now, enough to cover a city fght table probably, I did not wanted to change radically the overall painting feature. I do like homogeneity for my tables, and getting stuff too far away from the main contribution may be too eye catching. But some changes are sometmes welcome. With this in mind I adjusted the distribution of colours only: - instead of going with reinforcing bars in boltgun metal (see pic bellow), I have gone brass - and in order to balance the colours, all brass pipes have went dark boltgun metal. Looks like nothing but it is enough to get these Volkus building giving a hue and a small variation to the overall picture. As I have a moving planned soon, I did not glued these building - these are just snap fitted and will be dismounted before being stored for their big journey. But here nbellow you can see what is the result of this quick and dirty painting for the new iteration of these Volkus sprues: Not the best of my work but considering how busy the current period is, the most finished I could have afforded so far. And as a finishing note, my fav detail of the whole kit: The Volkus scenery bought from Ebay is now complete. time to shift to another project: an Harlequin KT... Read you soon.
