Colonial Spanish Barracks part IV

 

            1/4 inch Cork kiddy wall stuff attached with automotive glue. That is the nastiness spray glue made. It's true purpose is to attach the head liner in cars.

            Kind of a pain to cut out around the Tile's edge.

            The courtyard flock in fine dirt and med Mediterranean dirt.

            I think the tile roof is ok. I pulled up the cork around the build creating a raised area.

            A custom blend of flock.

        Flocking and tuffs done

Port Royal "The beginnings of a Warband" part II

        I cannot say where this mini came from. He fits the bill. Foundry 126 series skipping B for skin. Foundry Base Sand A only with GW bone to light the pants.

            English Sea Dogs. I think they were the forlorn hope English Civil War. ECW was 1642 and Port Royal 1692. Weapons would not have changed, nor clothing. I am sure someone would have had dad's kit kicking about.

            The Jackets are done with Foundry 4 series, in the foundry method. With the exception that I went back with 4A as a shade to blend the three together.

            I ran with Prussian light blue for the coats or Model color Cavalry brown. The blue was lighten with GW bone and the Cavalry with GW Imperial Fists yellow. Both make the ochre jackets pop.

            One plays with all males. There were females. One should expect that they would survive. ANd the females of port royal were carnivorous. The Madam in the red looks as if she has killed before!!! The one in the orange and pink is a 25mm not 28mm. She fits as a girl or smaller woman.

            A random Indian tossed in.

Colonial Spanish Barracks part III

 

            A new 3D print, Colonial out post. Kind of looks like the one pictured. Sort of. 

            It has a pretty huge footprint. 6 tiles 3ft by 2ft. I could never store it in that size. The build does split in two. I traced the the actual footprint on the tiles. I can store it in two halves and the tiles stacked as singles.

            I will roll out some cobblestones for the front of the building. The side and back will be flocked.

            The dude was Lowes rattle canned brick red. Then that cheapo airbrush came out again.

            Two colors have been layered in. A burnt yellow with two passes, followed by a bone white single pass. That bone white was kept to the center. All to give that was painted once when it was built look.

        All the windows and wood trim was done in AP speed paint Satchel brown.  Gravelord for the stone work. Yeah I know, speed paint. The roof tiles were washed in Foundry 126B African Flesh.

            The detail in between the brick was done with AK US Army vehicle wash. After coating the shit out of it. I wiped up the raised surfaces.

            Painting the insides, air brush quicky. I hate the insides. Doll house trauma. 

A side project

            The whole thing is primed Lowes rattle can satin brick.

            My colonial building, or front of the Alamo, with 30 minutes of effort.

   

            I think the front details were all wood. I cannot find my reference. Soooo

Blood and Plunder "Rope Bridges" part II

 

                All primed Lowes rattle can flat black. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of returning my air brushes to service. They have sat for years unused. After 3 days I tossed one. The other came back to life right after I ordered a cheapo from Amazon. What is my time worth? Was it wasteful to pitch it?

The cheapo that help getting shit done

            Everything Airbrushed, no paint brush. All took about an hour. 

            After that AP dark tone dip. The dip is the greatest protector against chips. I see these taking a beating over the years. No one wants to repaint terrain.

Blood and Plunder "Rope Bridges"

 

        Once upon a time there was a resin one available. I never got a chance. Could never find one for sale. Then terrain lock had a set, eBay special. The dude sent me a crap ton. I only need 20% of what was sent. And he sent it USPS Flat rate. It was free shipping the shipping was more than I paid!

Port Royal "The beginnings of a Warband"

 

            It is final stateside. I got my downloads and expect shipping to happen next week.

            They make some great odd, non rank and file characters. Perfect for survivors scraping by in ruins. Those desperate creatures fighting off the honorable men of Port Royal.

            All primed bone and washed AP dark Tone. The Dark Tone black lines the mini. More so it helps me see the details better. At 50 my eyes suck. Base layer for skin is 120B Foundry Indian Flesh. The lady's dress is watered down DA green.

            Some English armored dual weapons sporting chaps.

    

            All earth colors for this war band. No blue! Only the chicas will get some color.

            The set done.
