Step-by step for MDF buildings for Batman Miniatures Game





PICS 1-3 :


Arches were sprayed with Halfords grey primer, give them a couple of coats until you get a nice even layer.






PICS 4-9:


Using a 50:50 mix of Dawnstone and Administratum Grey (Any mid- grey and light grey mix will do. Airbrush on a random pattern.
Once dry use pure Administratum Grey and airbrush within the existing pattern so that it gives a nice transition
Once dry apply a final highlight of 30:70 Administratum Grey and White within the previous layer so that you are working in a smaller and smaller area










PICS 10-15


Weathering using W&N oils


I used Ivory Black, Burnt Umber and Sap Green. Ivory Black is applied to the curved arches, the uprights at either end and across the top of each section. Use an old drybrush for this. Dip in the paint wipe off some of the excess then apply the oil to the building, I then use a seperate brush dipped in White Spirit to thin out the black by washing over it and blend it into the grey below. It will probably take a couple of goes to thin it out. Don't worry about flooding the area as the White Spirit as it will soon evaporate.
I used Sap Green along the bottom of the walls and on the pavement using the same technique as above.
Burnt Umber was used in patches between the black and green just for a bit of variation.
Allow the oils to dry overnight.
When dry I sprayed them with dullcoat to seal everything before the next stage.








PICS 16-23


Apply tranfers and posters and tags. For the transfers I used micro sol/micro set, the transfers are from Multiverse Gaming, the posters are from the PDF file from this group. If you don't seal the oils, when you apply micro sol it will dilute the oils and ruin the blend (learnt from experience lol).
I dipped the posters into water to soften them slightly (personal preference) then brush on watered down PVA glue to the reverse of the poster, fixed into place on the building and then applied the same glue to the front of the poster. For some of them I'd screw them up when softened to get some creases then apply the glue. Once the glue is dry you can add some extra grime with a layer of nuln oil or weathering powders. For the tags I used an acrylic paint pen and found some random tags online to copy.













PICS 24-25


Snow & Ice was created using Secret Weapon crushed glass set and applied directly onto the arches, really easy to use.
