Dead West Marshal and Cowboy

Here's a better photo of those Dead West minis from last week

Marshall's Office

Yay I'm starting to do some painting again. I painted these 2 cowboys from Dead Lands and finished my Death Marshall's crew for Malifaux. Will take some better shots of them in the next update.



This is a new building from Aetherworks I just started. I'm painting the bricks in the most time consuming way possible, one at a time with variations of mixed paint between a sand colour and medium brown. Next time I think I'll start dark and dry drybrush them all.

Been working on this one for a while. It was actually the 1st building designed for Aetherworks but ended up taking me ages to getting around to. I experimented a bit on this one with my very old airbrush and brand new air compressor laying down the initial shading on the coloured areas of the building. I kinda went too dark though and the building was too pink rather than faded red so it took a fair few washes over the top the soften the shaded areas and to fix the colour more to my liking. After that I painted all the trim areas and door and window frames then added some good old Devlin mud for shading then drybrushed them with white. I experimented a bit in masking the building walls while doing all the drybrushing, I think it helped a bit, same goes for the floor boards which were several shades of brown. I think I may go back and put some scaled posters on the walls sometime but I'm pretty happy with the result at the moment. It looks like a good start to a street butted up against the General Store.
