With a spare hour yesterday morning I thought that I'd have a bash at finishing off the tile.
 |
| As it had a wooden floor I scored the base prior to applying a burnt umber. |
 |
| I had to go over the scoring once painted. |
 |
| I then highlighted the edges to give the tile a bit of a 3D effect. |
 |
| The completed edging. |
 |
| I then added a weak black wash to give it some more depth. |
 |
| The finished tile |
Now you folk out there have far more skill with the brush then I so I'm sure that you'll get a better effect. But generally I'm pleased.
In future I'll standardise the door and window dimensions so no matter what the tile is I can have a selection of doors and frames to use for gaming purposes.
There are no 'in action' shots 'cause I hope to have a game this weekend where the tile will feature.
Thanks for the comments to my previous post, they really do help to spur one on.
Watch yourselves and thanks for taking a peek.

Very effective. I think you have done right by highlighting the cut edges. I would have been tempted to paint the "cut" areas red. But I think this looks better as it is less obtrusive. Standarisation of doors and windows is all well and good but it might lead to "Barrat" type homes but I think you will do it well enough to avoid that.
ReplyDeleteAll in all looking very good.
Ta pal, I take your point maybe make the doors in a selection of sizes, good idea!
DeleteVery serviceable! I'm looking forward to a game report now :-) .
ReplyDeleteGreat job. The Black wash certainly gives it that aged appearance.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea. I didn't watch the video you posted yet (kind of longish), but this gives me a good idea of the technique. I may try this myself. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice, perfect for structures that have no inside, you should join scottys forum, im a member, their are a lot of great builds over their
ReplyDeleteVery effective. Similar to what the guys who wrote Occult Wars did, very cool
ReplyDeleteI thought the effect of these was good before you painted them,but your paintwork has brought them to a new level. The highlighted edges are very effective.
