I would like to emulate it someday (I have lots of craft sticks in a 28mm "lumberyard" that I would like to turn into a swamp town or dockside type of setting.) First I distress the wood (balsa, bass wood, & insulation foam) by drawing a saw with the grain from one end to the othe. Doing it on a slight angle give a more natural effect than a straight up tear. Then I do my white dry brush over a black wash. I had been doing a charcoal then desert sand dry brush with a wash of bitter sweet chocolate & black mix(all these colors are Americana). Lately, since the charcoal was discontinued) I substitute Mississippi Mud or Mushroom for the charcoal. My buildings, by the way, are not removable. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckotter Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 As always, the figures on their own are a delight and when placed in your world become even more extraordinary. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I love your world, the Dragon is a great addition, he has just the right pose and expression. The scarf adds to the character. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malefactus Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Yesterday I did a modification on a L.A.M. Goblin. He was meant to be a Dwarfen captive/slave. I did some modifying on the Lad to give him a raggedy free Goblin looking for a gold mine of his own. I made up some mushrooms for the base & by evening he was at this stage: Today he got his base coat: More later...whenever that is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckotter Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 That dragon fits the character of your world so perfectly, and I can't imagine him without the scarf! He would just look so naked without it. The latest goblin looks like he should fit in beautifully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad you like the stuff....the scarf does seem to suit the Dragons nicely. I have hopes for the Goblin. I am thinking of him now as a Mushroom Ranger, tending & guarding the Mushrooms in a manner similar to Smokey the Bear & his forests. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 SO I have a few pieces lined up to work on over the weekend...& beyond: Witch, Wizard Wolf, Goblins, & one solitary Elf: I will be happy/ecstatic if I finish the bases. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a historical gamer, what I have here is less than the smallest of usable units. I have been getting nostalgic for the games I played in my misspent youth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
