Hobby Streak #5: Barney Rubble & Fred Carrien

More washes on the large rubble piles. I'm hoping more random colour washes will make these better.

Also, because rubble was getting boring, I started basecoats on a SLA Industries custom character that I constructed at on of the [now defunct] Daruma SLA:CS1 open days in Doncaster. It's a sort of Advanced Carried, I suppose. The jacket will hopefully end up looking like denim and its head won't be dark green like an orc/k, but more like a glowing green skull. This is the colour scheme for the heads I did for some other carrien and I thought it worked.

Basecoats for this advanced carrien, front...

Fred and Barney.

Hobby Streak #4 - Hubble bubble boil and rubble

Dry brushed the big rubble piles with white and applied green/red/brown mix wash to half of them.

Washed rubble at the front (three black and one grey based).

Hobby Steak #3: Rubble trouble

More work on the piles of rubble. Base coated the girders sticking out of the bigger bits. My daughter (nearly-4yo) painted a smaller ibe reddish-brown, in the spirit of joining in.

Resultant rubble

Hobby Streak #2: More rubble

More rubble today, glued and under-coated.

Sum total of rubble piles from today and yesterday.

Waiting to be sprayed.

Post spray. I'm experimenting with grey and black. Both are Halfords sprays.

Hobby Streak Day #1: Small beginnings

The first day of the hobby streak. Inspired by James Holloway ti start a hibby strwak and inspired by my daughter's interest in the cover of the Mantic Ruin Sci-Fi terrain box, I got myself a bit of space on the kitchen table and set about trying to fathom the Mantic terrain +with help from my nearly-4 year old daughter).

The results:
* a few heaps of rubble stuck together
* a few configurations of ruined sci-fi terrain and some of the Mars Attacks terrain.
* my wife had a go, too

Glued rubble piles

Raw parts... So many possibilities!

Some ruined sci-fi buildings.

Some of the Mars Attacks scenery. I really like this stuff. 

The buildings were originally intended to fulfil terrain requirements for SLA:CS1.
