Brother Nezulius Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi guys, I just finished my new Realm of Battle gameboard in a desert style. I made some pictures showing of my Ultramarines army on their new sandbox. ;) I'm now thinking of perhaps adding some desert weathering on all my tanks, so that they fit more in the theme. Any of you got some examples of models with desert weathering? That would be nice for inspiration. Anywhere, here are the pictures! http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2826/p2030439.jpg http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/6812/p2030443.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/9047/p2030444.jpg http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5903/p2030452.jpg http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/7584/p2030453.jpg http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/4088/p2030455.jpg http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/783/p2030456.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2374/p2030459.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6582/p2030460l.jpg http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/155/p2030466.jpg http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/9348/p2030467.jpg http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5240/p2030470.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2227/p2030480.jpg http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8010/p2030485.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death_jester_ Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 looking good,as for weathering desert style,i wash the models in watered down black ink containing a few dabs of MIG europe dust using a large brush and apply quite liberally,if the mix looks to dark i adjust the mix accordingly,i try a test model first,when dry you get a nice weathered model with dust caught in the recesses,you can also use your finger to rub off the dust on raised areas as desired,on my vehicles i add a mix of europe dust and water to the tracks and areas where dust would be kicked up and again use my finger to adjust effect accordingly. d_j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thantoes Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 It all looks very nice but you are seriously let down by the mold lines I can see on everyones helmet. I cant tell what others mold lines are lurking around. Apart from that it looks good. You have good coverage on your blue and your vehicles look great. Good job.

Night Runner Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Fantastic gaming board. Every gamers envy. I wish my army and gaming terrain were all done up, that way I wouldn't have to go to the club to play all the time. (I hate playing with unpainted armies and terrain. I never have as much fun as I should). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nezulius Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thank you for your pictures death jester. The effect on your Predator is exactly what I'm looking for. Although I think it's a bit overdone on the Landraider, but that's personal taste I guess. I will order some of that MIG dust you mentioned and get done and dirty. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
