Another quick entry for me today! Stellar speed considering that I've had weeks between all the previous updates and now two for the same day :) Not exactly a miniature, but not terrain either. I'll leave it to Curt to judge the level of my crimes with this entry.
I have a Flames of War tournament this week and decided that plastic objective markers won't do. I already had one resin marker ready that I did for the first fortnight challenge last year, but somehow never really got around to painting this one. Well with the tournament coming it gave me a great excuse to paint it up.
The objective marker itself is from Kerr & King and it's actually a couple of millimeters too large even though it's meant for FoW. Still the scene here in Finland is pretty relaxed so I don't think it'll matter too much. Quality isn't top notch, with some small potholes here and there, but still far from the Games Workshop Failcast offerings.
This was a really nice side project to get my motivation up. Only a couple of hours from clean up until finished product so it was nice to see something finished for a change :) I airbrushed it dark brown and added colour by drybrushing different areas. I tried to do most drybrushes with a few different shades and varying coverage areas to give some variation to the tone especially on the brick wall. After drybrushing I washed the interior of the supply dump and then added some chipping using a sponge.
Hopefully the elegant objective markers will see me victorious during the tournament :) Though with most of the Finnish ETC team taking part and other experienced players there I guess I'll be happy if I end up in the top two thirds of the lineup :)
From Curt:
Lovely work on this marker Samuli. I did not realize that Kerr & King offered these - I'll have to check them out as I always admire the character they can pack into these small 15mm vignettes.
Unfortunately I still class them as terrain for the Challenge so I'm afraid they're not eligible for scoring (similar my own ammo dumps and fuel depots from my LRDG submission). Nonetheless, I wanted everyone to enjoy the work so thanks for sending it along Samuli!
