I am on a bit of a SYW tear right now, so while the bug was fighting, decided to do some scatter terrain for my gaming table. I had a number of random items that I had primed in by F&I box. So, I pulled out some stuff to work on. First we have the Pegusus fencing, an Old Glory Water trough, then a wagon from Old Glory, another from Wiz Kids and some chopped wood from Wiz Kids.
The Pegasus set is made of plastic and has to be assembled, so some time has to be made for that. However, they give a very nice effect (I might need to buy a few more sets….). They come with four bases. You glue on the wood timbers individually, so you can add variances easily. They also have separate rocks that you glue on the bases. The latter is a a bit of a pain, as you have to remove the plastic flash from the rocks (my fingers still hurt). However, once the pieces are cleaned up, they glue together well. All the other models come in resin. Old glory is hard tan and the Wiz Kids is a semi hard grey.
I sprayed the fences and wagons grey. I go with grey on all stone, so that worked on the fence bases. I also use it to reflect aged wood, hence the wagon choice. I hit all the stones with a black wash, with some splashes of green and brown. The wagons just got a dark brown wash. I then dry brushed them up various shades of gray. The wagons got a little tan also. I then painted the timbers using GW contrast brown and hit that with a brown wash. I painted the hay tan, added a wash and dry brushed it up with some tan. A little metallic on the wheel rims for the one wagon and then some Dull Coat. A gloss. coat on the water in the trough and all done.
I sprayed the wood dark brown for a barked look. I then hit all the cut parts with some tan and hit everything with a brown wash. A little dry brushing to lighten the brown and tan and a Dull Coat to finish up the kits.
Simple paint job using unifying colors makes all the models seam like they fit together, even though they are from different companies. This is the beauty of war-game terrain, matching I up is all in the paint job!
