  1. yeah, it isn't bad but when I shine a light on it you can see you green and yellow tints I put into the water and it looks really good. If I would have made the bottom a lighter in places it would have enhanced the look.
  2. My first terrain attempts all had warping issues, then I found expanded PVC. Expanded PVC is plastic sheet with very small air bubbles in it. It gives it characteristics very similar to wood. So you can cut and sand it just like wood and it is totally resistant to water or warping. I've used 3 sizes of expanded PVC for basing. I did a project with a bunch of hirst arts floor tiles and needed a very rigid base so I used the .24". To use it you need power tools to cut it, I tried it by hand and the results were not pretty. But by roughing them out on a table saw, I could easily sand down any mismatches. The .08" sheet can be cut with a sharp razor blade, but it is about as thick as you would want to go and cut by hand. This is the size I used for the swamps. It is very light and very thin which I loved. I sand and score the top with a razor blade to improve adhesion. This is the best size I found for the most uses. The .04" inch is very thin and can be cut with scissors or a lightweight hobby knife. I have used it for bases where I have a large building to provide rigidity. It is pretty floppy so its uses are limited, but it is the easiest to work with because it is so thin. I paid around $10 dollars for a 2'x4' sheet of the .08" I found it a fair price for non-warping lightweight basing material. http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=23330&catid=0&clickid=popcorn
  3. the long yellow grass is woodland scenic field grass. The green grass on the little islands is games workshop static grass.
  4. I just started making some swamp terrain and wanted to share. The pictures aren't the best, but it gives you a good idea. My water came out the perfect color, unfortunately I made the bottom of the swamp too dark so it just looks very muddy. It's ok, but I'd do it differently if I were to do it again. I followed two guides to make the pieces, I'll include them for your reference Parts list: Swamp expanded pvc for the base silicone caulk for the swamp borders and texture brass tube and paper for cattails envirotex lite for the water http://www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/tut_swamps_and_craters_01.php Parts list: Hut foam ball mulch for the wood sheet floral moss to coat the structure [ame] [/ame]
  5. I left him glossy on purpose, but I did use matte varnish on his cloths and hair. I may matte him, not sure yet. I think it looks better in person than in the photo. It is definately darker.
  6. love the excecutioner, Ramos does look a bit flat but that could just be the pic. Nice work so far.
  7. Hi all, just got done painting my first Malifaux mini and thought I'd share. I airbrushed the body/wings and brushed the rest. I probably could have been more creative with the wings, but I spent enough time on it.
