Talae Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I pledged for five sets plus quite a few add ons. All unpainted. I plan to paint the stone pieces the same as my KS1 pieces so I gain modularity. I will be starting with these since I will get the most use out of them early and because my Tudor paints aren't here yet (hopefully this week!). Here is a picture of the stone pieces I am setting out to paint. This has some ruins, and two bridges in the mix too. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglok Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Good luck. Currently laboring away on 5 sets KS1 myself. :) Do post some WIP pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I haven't been as productive as I had hoped. The kids have made sure of that :) Here are the pieces I have hit with base gray so far: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Palmer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Looks good so far! I don't envy you the job ahead. I got a lot less, but very happy I splurged for the painted variety; as I know if I didn't, that mine would still be sitting in its box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Bse gray is done. Next up is the difficult step; picking out random stones with Earth Stone. It is the most time consuming step. Blurry pic taken after midnight: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igelkott Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yeah, I finished my KS1&2 stuff last year... I have 4xKS1 and 2xKS2 + a bunch of addons. For KS3 I only got the cottage and some battlements but I haven't gotten to those yet. I really liked the pokorny method for this terrain, it works out well and is pretty easy (although time consuming due to shear volume). When I picked out stones, I did some with the earth stone then mixed in a little stone edge to lighten it a little and did a few more, just to vary things a little. I also painted my Dragons Don't Share ruined tower using the same paint scheme. I think it turned out well.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglok Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I do not have access to his paintline + I chose a slightly different approach, I painted the dungeon grey basic look with a color first as well. I noticed that if I change my mind (which I have) about the paintscheme a bit I cannot ever get the exact same color as dungeon grey anymore. This way I can just coat an entire piece with my own grey undercoat and get the same one. Good progress so far dude! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I am working my way through the pile...about half-done with the Earth Stone step picking out random stones. This is the most lengthy step and I am glad that I am doing it via assembly line, or I would likely not want to finish. Taking a break for a snack and to stretch my legs. Paint is due to arrive tomorrow for the Tudor pieces. I will try and take a picture later of what I have done so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Here is a current progress shot while I refresh my drink and get ready to dive back in. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 The posts and walls have been MUCH slower going than I thought. All that is left are magnetic chimneys and ruins/rubble as seen below. Here is the current state of things: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Step 3 is going much better than Step 2 as far as the feeling of productivity goes. I am debating powering through it tonight. The bottom stuff has been Drybrushed with Olive Drybrush: On a side note, my four bottles of new paint arrived today. I may have to hold off on painting more pieces after the stone stuff, though. I have work that needs to be done (both around the house and work-work), and also this weekend's family plans seem to be expanding. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Tonight's progress ends with everything done with Step 3 except walls and narrow passageways. (Mostly the top left quarter of the previous photo). The final stage will hopefully be the fastest. I am burned out on the one. Tudor/Streets/Sewers will likely have to wait for another set of vacation days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talae Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 One whole finished tile before heading out to get an oil change. Hopefully I can get some serious progress on this tonight. Thought you guys might like a comparison shot though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
