Andy’s latest set of scatter terrain.<\/em><\/p>\n

Around five years ago I bought a selection of Ainsty Castings trade goods<\/a>, so it\u2019s about time I painted them, after all you can never have too much terrain to hide behind! There\u2019s one each of packs E (Timber stacks), F (Ivory, Skins, Furs), H (Supported bales), I (Stacked Sacks) and L (Mixed piles).<\/p>\n

They were given a quick wash in soapy water, rinsed and dried. I then removed what little flash there was and undercoated them with Halfords grey primer.<\/p>\n

What I should have done next was to paint the recesses between some of the components of the mixed piles matt black, but no, I forgot to do that didn\u2019t I!<\/p>\n

To give an idea of the size of the pieces, the grid in the pictures is 20mm square.<\/p>\n

Trade Goods E, Timber Stacks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The timber stacks, crates and barrels were painted in various shades of brown. One of the timber stacks has what looks like sawdust, so these were dry-brushed with Dark Sand. They were then washed with Army Painter Soft or Dark Tone depending on the shade of brown used.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Trade Goods F, Picture, furs and ivory<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Ivory was painted Deck Tan or Beige and washed with Army Painter Soft Tone. The Lion skins were Brown Sand washed with Army Painter Dark Tone and German Camouflage Black Brown manes and tail tips. The smaller animal skins were panted a mixture of greys and browns. The wooden bases are German Camouflage Medium Brown or Beige Brown, liberally washed with Army Painter Dark Tone.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Trade Goods H, Supported bales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The supported bales were painted London Grey with Beige Brown poles and German Camouflage Beige rope.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Trade Goods I, Stacked sacks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sacks were painted in various shades of grey, beige and brown, with suitable AP washes. The bases were painted grass green.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Trade Goods l, Mixed piles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The crates and barrels were painted in various shades of brown, and the sacks and wicker baskets in various shades of grey, beige and brown. The glass containers in the wicker baskets were Deep Green. The wrapped bale contents were Japanese Uniform and the wrappings Light Grey.<\/p>\n

Once painted (and the weather outside suitable) they were all varnished with spray matt varnish. The Glass bottles were then given a coat of gloss varnish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
