Watchtower - Painted

Had a very busy day of grinding away at base resin castings, so much resin dust gahhh. Thought I'd try and get all my pirate bases done in one go to get me motivated on getting my pirates done. So after I primed them I got to work on the bases of the jacks sitting on my desk and the tower since they are all timber.

Went with a dark base then 3 goes of drybrushing lighter browns then some quick shading with GW washes to deepen the tones and darken the joins. I think it works as a quick method to do timber.

Watchtower

Got out the dremel today to work on this kit I picked up a couple months ago of a nice classic style watchtower. I want it to fit in with my pirate terrain so I engraved decking flooring and roof and covered it in wood grain. A total pain in the wrist to do but I got it all done then cut up and assembled in a day so yay. Will try and get it painted tommorow. Got my recent warjack primed too so will start on him as well.
