Greenery is applied, only the varnish is missing now.

I washed the models in Army Painter Dark Shade. Here are two comparison models before and after the goo applied.

And the whole lot, drying.

The bases are ready painted, the brown highlighted with a lighter brown and an ochre drybrush in my usual style, then individual stones and pebbles picked out in a medium grey or grey blue and drybrushed stone grey.

All that needs to be done now is adding some static grass and then the final varnish.


[Tools]¶
Plaster Vibrator¶

I ordered some new molds from Hirst Arts. As the castings for my Frag board surly, albeit unfortunately very slowly, are depleting my plaster supply, I ordered a new bag of plaster. The current 25kg bag lasted for about 4 years, the new one hopefully will last as long.

While shopping for the plaster, my eyes were again catched by a vibrating casting machine, that helps removing and/or preventing air bubbles in the casts. I wanted to have such a machine for quite some time, using a pounding board so far.

As I plan to do quite some castings in the near future, I finally invested in the SILFRADENT VIB15.

I painted the shields in unit colours, leaving the bare plaster for the white parts. Both sides of the shields where then covered in PVA glue, as I am not sure how the wash will react with the bare material.

All the bases are basecoated. I hate painting sand... so many undercuts...

As requested, here are some comparison pictures with older Citadel miniatures and with Mirliton.

I smoothed out the ground around the integral bases of the models, then glued sand and small pebbles on top.

It is about time I get these models off the to do list, they are pending for long enough.

I applied an oil wash using Winsor & Newton lamp black and Sansodor to all the models. When this is dry, I will go over them with Sansodor again, where the miniatures are too dark. Then I can start finishing the bases.
