City of Death Repaint Pt.3

It’s been a rather quiet week around the painting table.  Outside powers conspire to steal away my hobby time, but I still managed to finish off these two buildings.  That only leaves me two more to go.  Then this little vanity project can come to a close. 

I may end up building one kit, but I’m a little torn. I just don’t have the motivation to paint up more right now. I’d hate build it and then give it a half-a$$ed paint job. It would look some what out of place after all the time that’s been sunk into the other structures. Plus, I couldn’t just build one. That would give me an even number of buildings for the table. I don’t know why in the world that bothers me, but it does. Call me a bit odd, I guess.

So, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll finish this all up over the next week and we can move onto something more interesting.

City of Death Repaint Pt.2

I stopped out to see Larry and grab this building a few days back and I started it last night. It's a pretty basic paint job; as he was saying these kits are extremely detailed, so I was trying to find that balance. (washes are still a bit wet in the pics)

City of Death Repaint Pt.1

Despite my various setbacks over the past week, I have managed to start one project that is long overdue.  My City of Death buildings have been in dire need of attention. Back when I first got the kits, I was in a hurry to get them together and on the table as soon as possible. That was like over 3 years ago...

If I had my way, I’d be cutting and hacking up some new Styrofoam hills for the table, but it’s not that nice outside. Instead, we’ll just spruce up the buildings for now. I didn’t want to start over completely; I’d already done some work on the gold skulls and other details. It was better to just bust out the Metallic paints and washes and have a go. 

 

These two are what I’ve managed to finish so far and I still four more to paint up. It’s a bit sloppy, but I’m just trying to drag out more contrast in the models and not spend the time it would actually take to paint up these insanely detailed kits.
