Zhmendos Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi all, Here's my first attempt in building a bunker. It's been partially painted, so need advise on how to paint it further. Feedback and comments are welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150740-my-first-terrain/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ompfris Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Looks good, Is it just terrain to move around/over or does it open aswell for use as cover? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150740-my-first-terrain/#findComment-1752892 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 thats a first attempt to be proud of, im sure many people here, myself included will (eventunally) admit to our first attempts looking like something from the blob (a weird very old movie).

Hi guys, In brief: The materials list: Thin extruded Styrofoam (sold as the ceiling tiles here, 5-6 mm thick - seems like you have the same material called Depron, but I may be as well mistaken, since we don't have Depron here) Ordinary Styrofoam (for base) Carpenter's glue (made by Henkel - looks like PVA, but yellow in colour) Household acrylic paint (white) with colorant added. Car paints in aerosol (black - little bit glossy and grey - matt) First I made bunker walls out of extruded styrofoam with roof etc (the roof is detachable allowing to put the minis inside the bunker). Then I glued the bunker to the base made out of ordinary styrofoam. After that I covered the styrofoam with acrylic household putty and covered the putty with sand. I let the putty dry then covered the bunker with the carpenter's glue. When I covered the styrofoam with glue I noticed, that in the process of drying he glue didn't form the even surface (the same's in case with paper, wood, etc. but formed some uneven surface gathering in a sort of irregularly located drops (check and you'll see). I spread the slightly dried glue with a piece of styrofoam tile forming the texture slightly more. After the surface dried I covered all with acrylic paint mixed with a pigment. After drying I covered the stuff with aerosol paints several coats, giving the preference to the grey one. After that I covered the base with one more coat of household acrylic paint + colorant (this time it was brown) Took me several days (about two hours of work actually with most time spent on drying of glue, paint etc.). Now I just need to paint the staff a little bit more (as well as most of my minis).
