Continued from parts 1, 2 and 3.
After the quite time consuming process of sticking all of that stuff to the castle sections the last time, I set about painting them.
Anything made from silver plastic (the Hexagon stuff and the sprues) just got a load of black emulsion paint slopped onto it which I then wiped with a rag, removing most of the paint from everywhere but the recesses. Anything else that was showing its original colour was then simply painted black.
It was at this point that I first realised how Masters of the Universe the whole project had become. Regardless of how desirable or not that was it was too late to worry about that at that stage though. Main priority: get it finished. All other considerations secondary.
Some drybrushing of metallic areas was next followed by a big dirty wash of brown/black mix over the metallic bits and some of the red areas.
By this stage in the process I wanted to add just a little bit more junk and other stuff to the tower parts. I couldnt face it though. My enthusiasm for the project was waning and I decided that I would rather get it finished to the standard that it was currently at than get bogged down on more detailing. If I still think that the towers are a little too bare once the whole thing is finished I can go back and do some more work on it at a later date. Maybe.
Note the layout of the components in a city wall configuration. I hope to use that layout in a few scenarios in the future.
