    Watch me scratch build a Borderlands style Lookout Tower from XPS foam for my Dungeons and Dragons tabletop game! I use foam, craft paint, hot glue, and flocking to make this scatter terrain.

      @@ravenstead You should look into adding oil paint washes to your terrain. I've started doing it and you'll find the blending of colors amazing on stone and wood. Not expensive but takes a bit more time to dry. The secret is enough thinner so it goes on as a wash. Regardless, great stuff you're doing. Keep posting!

    • @ravenstead
      @ravenstead  Месяц назад +1

      @@ArchaeoMAC I would like to try oil washes, they seem very dynamic. I can only spare about a day for my builds so drying time is definitely a factor. Thanks for the recommendation!

    • @ArchaeoMAC
      @ArchaeoMAC Месяц назад

      @@ravenstead Sure. I get it. The drying time isn't too onerous for washes as it is the paint that is drying, the thinner fades quickly. Try putzing around with it. It was a game changer for me. My last step on any build (even after any acrylic washes or veg and foliage) is usually a dark brown, a reddish brown, a dark green, and sometimes a blue. They blend together beautifully, add great variation and interest in the stone and hide any paint stroke blemishes or any acrylic wash puddle stains (or at least subdue them a bit) A while back Black Magic Craft did some great demonstrations on oil washes. I took those and ran with them. They were game changers. Not tryin' to tell you your business, I just like your work. Cheers!

      Thanks, I'll have to work on that. I prefer the foam bases to MDF or 1/4" foam but it can be challenging working with the higher profile. I'll try a shallower bevel on the next one. I appreciate the feedback.
