Against the Grain

It's hard to tell from this crudely-shot photo, but the Vallejo "Wood Grain" paint Sean introduced me to really does a great job of making plastic look like wood. Thanks Sean! 

Inkwashed Tower

Here's my Modular Realms tower, finished at last inside and out. I'm pretty happy with it. 

Cobblestone Tower

Here's the tower that came with the Modular Realms Kickstarter project. As with the cottage, I'm trying to make this look as though it's been built with many different kinds of stone. I'm going to call the outside finished aside from an ink wash. After that, I'll do it all over again with the interior walls . . . 
 

Wee Stone Cottage

Here's another item from the Modular Realms Kickstarter, a little 28mm-scale cottage. I tried to paint this to make it look like the cottage was assembled with assorted stones, some wood, and "painted" (in the world of the game) "wooden" shingles. 
 

Floor Tile

Another Modular Realms tile painted; this time, it's a wooden floor. It looks better in person than it does in this photo, thankfully. 

Mud Flats

Here's another Modular Realms magnetic dungeon tile. I painted this one to simulate a square patch of dried-out mud flats. 

Ocean Square

This is the flip side of yesterday's Pride tile. I lack water terrain, so I painted this side as a small 3x3 segment of a roiling ocean. As you can see, some colours from the Pride side were accidentally transferred to the ocean side. But I think they add a little something; they might be little splotches of algae or reflections from the sky or flotsam of some kind. 
 

Pride Flagstones

I'm a little late for Pride Month, but I wanted to see what Pride colours would look like on this 28mm-scale 3x3 magnetic flagstone tile. It's the first tile I've painted from the Modular Realms Kickstarter I supported last year. I think this is one of those cases where I should not have added ink wash. They do give the tile a bit more depth, but they also mute the colours. Luckily I have several of these tiles, so I can try again.
