[Spirit Island]¶
Towns¶

The towns were washed with oil paints.

I used a thin wash of green near to the ground to represent moss, then brown over that and a little bit higher up to represent mud splatter, and finally black everywhere where I thought I needed some more definition.

Then the models were glued to the poker chips.


[Spirit Island]¶
Explorers¶

The Conquistadores where washed with Winsor & Newton Ivory Black, the skin with Winsor & Newton Vandike Brown; then they were glued to the poker chips.

Last weekend we played a game of Spirit Island (with the ugly plastic models :-( ), and at some point we had a coastal exploration phase, und suddenly there were quite a lot of explorers on the boards. When I did a quick count, I noticed that my miniature replacements would not have been enough.

So I also started to prepare the models I initially sorted out because of the helmet, with them I will have enough to place 1 Explorer on every land.


[Spirit Island]¶
Dahan¶

The Dahan were washed with oil paints.

I used a thin wash of green near to the ground to represent moss, then brown over the whole model as the main wash, and finally black around windows and doors.

Then the models were glued to the poker chips.


[Spirit Island]¶
Cities¶

The cities were washed with oil paints.

I used a thin wash of green near to the ground to represent moss, then brown over that and a little bit higher up to represent mud splatter, and finally black everywhere where I thought I needed some more definition.

Then the models were glued to the poker chips.


[Spirit Island]¶
Blight¶

The blight marker of the game will not be replaced. I cut of the lower rim on the base to lower their total height. Then I basecoated them with Vallejo grey primer.

The whole marker was then painted 70.952 Lemon Yellow, followed by several washes:

  • Secret Weapon Washes #29 Fallout
  • Vallejo 76.512 Dark Green
  • Vallejo 76.514 Dark Brown

The end result was not what I intended, so I gloss varnished them and applied an additional wash with Winsor & Newton Sap Green.

After matt varnishing them I glued them to the poker chips.

I basecoated the models in black. I then painted the ground in dark brown and drybrushed it with earth brown. The huts were then basecoated in khaki.

Then huts and ground were drybrushed in sand (upper two rows).
