<br />
Now another pile of work was fast approaching with all the drybrushing the tiles would need. I was burning out after all that masking, so we threw a terrain party to 'Tom Sawyer' the FLGS crew into doing all the work for us, er, help us create amazing terrain together.<br />
That yielded mixed results, but it also got everything done in one night and a little time touching up tiles was nothing compared to trying to do it all myself.<br />
Thank you to everyone who helped out that night at Mythic Games, Santa Cruz CA.<br />

Next was the Oil washes and this was a marvel to behold as they transformed the roughly painted tiles into something special. The way they blend the colors, and also dry very opaque when they dry in the cracks of the wash adding a lot of depth.<br />

First round of oil washes.</div>
<br />
The Sidewalks got a heavy wash of browns, followed by a little of the left over black and greys of the roads.<br />
Drying time was less than I had expected thanks to some hot weather, and the photos don't really capture the level of transformation the tiles took in this step.<br />
When I went too hard on the wash, or had to hide some flaws in our painting, a little post wash drybrushing brought the levels up nicely allowing the tiles to blend well.<br />

Time to finally paint up the Secret Weapon Miniatures "Tablescapes" urban tiles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://blog.secretweaponminiatures.com/2014/10/tablescapes-tiles-preview.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1059" data-original-width="1600" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIJo6VtuafGDdGbZD4czIwMzMqTwjZlzWaBadxbI6D3bu5r_wJ4z7aucYbOsj5zWw-mrzZ89x4XI4FzzZIRkBYywbyGviZAvsHFFYzmFWdmRAJYF5nMjA1waL5PBYZMZvzlNgMbQy7av14/s400/UrbanClean.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Mathiew Fontaine & Secret Weapon did <a href="http://blog.secretweaponminiatures.com/2014/10/tablescapes-tiles-preview.html" target="_blank">tutorials</a> for two of the urban tiles when they were released, to a level that I think may have intimidated me into not touching them for a while. But even if I could paint to the level of his yellow-brown dreams, I don't think I would ever have the free time to paint more than a few of them and that won't be enough for this project.<br />
So let's do it quickly as to overcome the biggest obstacle: my lack of time and motivation (and maybe add a little flare along the way if we have time).<br />
<br />
I've been building terrain for the FLGS for many years now and with the benefit of seeing how it holds up I can see that weathering powders will not be able to withstand the scraping of all the bases and terrain that these tiles will get (Or the powders can, but they won't look like powders after all the layers of varnish it will take to protect them).<br />
So the plan is: prime, mask, pick out the big details, drybrush and oil washes.<br />

priming for days.</div>
<br />
Priming the tiles was a wake up call, I've got two boxes (one clean and one rubble set) of the urban tiles, I went through multiple cans just getting an even prime. Then just finding safe space to lie the tiles out to dry is even a challenge.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
measuring the tiles for mask planning.</div>
<br />
Another thing I was thinking about is what a pain masking all these tiles is going to be, I considered carefully taping everything off, but after being challenged just priming all these tiles with a rattle can... that's off the table. So then I considered just blasting the sidewalks with their rattlecan grey but the overspray would really look terrible. Aribrushing them all would take days...<br />
So I found access to a laser cutter and cut out masks for all of those pesky bits of sidewalk, that saved a ton of time and would hopefully create a superior effect.<br />

Throwing together street markings for vinyl masks.</div>
<br />
The Japanese municipal sites had a lot of data for road markings, I made what I couldn't find online, and then fell into a rabbit hole of making intricate masks to make these tiles look awesome.<br />
days of work later (even with the help of masking vinyl and a digital vinyl cutter) they were ready for some paint.<br />

In the end the tiles still were covered in tape and masking, but because the details and harder to mask curves were taken care of with the help of the digital fabrication equipment; I got a lot further than I ever would have with just me and some tape.<br />

Here's a Castigator that I finished yesterday: The Wall, I wanted a more worn look to match his backstory. As a result he's a little more grimy than the others with more wear on the livery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually don't paint in the power field effects but it's such a massive piece of the model that I decided to this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The backstory was a lot more detailed when I wrote it, but in the process of cutting it down to fit on the underside of the base there were a few omissions. It's a little clumsy, but gets the basic idea across I think. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to model him on the wall but that also meant that he was standing on a base the same color as his livery which was a terrible modeling choice. I tried to blast and dirty up the base enough to create some kind of separation. Speaking of the base it's an Alien Temple from SWM that I scratched up a bit to make the depressions look more like blast craters.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the biggest mistake was not painting in the exposed ammo belt on his 'butt bag'. That really would have broken up the silver color on the back side, but by the time I noticed, it was a little too late in the process. Pretty happy overall despite the little mistake here and there.</div>

I had a chance to put together and paint a few models from a friend's RPG tactics kickstarter. The moaning from the internet about the tiny parts is just the internet being the internet. There's nothing that difficult about any of the models (I put together a variety of models from the set not pictured here). There are a few that are fragile due to their shape and slim mountings for larger parts, but overall nothing unreasonable. </div>

There's a few odd design decisions as well, the red dots on upper part of the pod body aren't modeled, and the back of the pod is pretty devoid of details as well. I know you have to sacrifice detail when moving to such a small scale but the thrusters on the side of the pods are all wrong, and as a result you can't fit the wet transfer where it should go. Compare to the Revoltech models in the pics to see some more problems. </div>

Let's talk about how to quickly hide model seam lines on organic models. It's quick and easy and you'll save yourself a ton of frustration scraping plastic and kneading little strips of green stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I first saw the new Tyrannocyte model I was struck with how disgusting/cool it looked, and then by what a nightmare hiding the multiple seam lines would be. The modelers at GW's do an outstanding job of hiding the seam lines, and the recent advances in CAD assisted design have placed them in a way to reduce how obvious they will be; but those of us that have put a few models together over the years know that a few (fairly) straight seam lines will detract from the organic effect of this disgusting flesh-sac, especially once you start drybrushing and washing the model.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7ATz5UyGg4esVsh94ZSrnYJ2NyB1Sfn7hbxcEDEU9PYDai5sIo-vb63X-YwLHrrorqPooi0HUdDP9MOq3eFe8pmODhGvuL5fyDzb4Y5uZM45drf-Ih6-5ZKWQoJUABXpmq1mlwkFqeCV/s1600/99120106034_Tyrannocyte01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7ATz5UyGg4esVsh94ZSrnYJ2NyB1Sfn7hbxcEDEU9PYDai5sIo-vb63X-YwLHrrorqPooi0HUdDP9MOq3eFe8pmODhGvuL5fyDzb4Y5uZM45drf-Ih6-5ZKWQoJUABXpmq1mlwkFqeCV/s1600/99120106034_Tyrannocyte01.jpg" height="400" width="385" /></a></div>

Hiding the lines is a lot easier with tanks and power armor, I usually just scrape the surface flush with a knife, or in extreme cases use a modeling putty like Milliput or green stuff to hide seams and miscast areas. But the scraping method is difficult for a model like this due to the raised edges on either side of the seam. Not to mention a perfectly flat surface on an undulating/veiny model looks conspicuous in its own way. Modeling putty can hide seams but you're going to have to invest a lot of time and effort blending it in, and then modeling details to match the surroundings so it's not another smooth patch on your model. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So to fix our problem we'll be using water effects. Different companies make different formulations, which vary in how they behave. The most useful ones I've found are Vallejo Water Effects & Woodland scenics Water Effects. The Vallejo product comes in a few pre-mixed colors or transparent, but since we're going to be paining over it the color in this technique the color really doesn't matter. The major difference between the two products is that the Vallejo is a little softer, while the Woodland is a little more sticky lending it to more fine details. Since we're trying to mimic the surface of the Tyrannocyte the Vallejo would be the better choice this time (I'll explain more about other applications at the end of the article).</div>

Get a old brush you're ok with messing up, and glob enough of the water effects on to completely cover the seams. Then, go back and push the gel around to create a few ridges and valleys to mimic the veins and lumps of the model.</div>

Leave the model alone for a night then check on it, the gel should have dried to be transparent. If it's not, let it sit until it is.</div>

The water effects have wider applications than this one, and can be used to cover seams and other irregular surfaces on your models. But experiment a bit with different brands to see how they behave before glopping them on. For example the Woodland brand is thicker and a bit more tacky, so it would work better for creating the peaked texture of fur while the softer Vallejo's peaks would become rounded and not have the same definition. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Experiment with the water effects, and let us know if you've found any new applications on your models.</div>

With the recent re-release of Space Hulk, GW has created three Space Hulk expansions for the Dark Angels, Ultramarines, and Space Wolves. Let’s take a look at what you get in a Mission File and what the differences between the three are.</div>

The files are available in the <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Space-Hulk-Mission-Files-Bringer-of-Sorrow">iBooks store</a> and they each retail for 15.99USD. You’ll need an ipad or other product that can handle the iBook format, which is an initial hurdle to entry to a lot of us; but the sting is slightly lessened, as the iBook format choice is not completely arbitrary (with the inclusion of an interactive mission status display). The missions also utilize the new space hulk tiles included in the 2014 version of Space Hulk so you’ll need those (or you can craft your own as the missions show what you need and how big it needs to be).</div>

To begin let’s start with what the files have in common (Nearly half of their content is identical word-for-word), then examine what sets them apart from each other. Each file has an introduction and a bit of the Space Hulk story, each a page in length. Each Expansion also provides three missions to play, that can be played stand-alone or as a linked campaign. Also included is a reference section and an interactive mission status display. Then rules unique to the chapter are listed, along with a bit of background on the chapter and their Terminators. Finally, there is a section on creating your own space hulk missions.</div>

The Interactive mission display is a nice touch for the expansions, turning your device into something more than a rulebook during the game. With all of the bits you need to track (reloads/ammo, psi/command points, and a three minute turn timer). However they did the bare minimum for the display, as you’ll need to track your other heavy weapon ammo (cyclone, heavy plasma, etc.) using the flamer included with the basic template or record it by hand. It seems a little lazy that the same expansion that gives you the rules to use a new heavy weapon, can’t support it in it’s own mission status display. </div>

The ‘creating your own missions’ section is a bit of a mixed bag, ranging from sections that basically admit that you’re going to have to test & feel it out to get it right, to charts to help you determine mission and victory conditions (spoiler alert: they involve the same things that you were doing in basic space hulk like recovering the CAT, kill ratios, etc.). On the other hand, there are a bunch of really useful charts also included like point values for various terminators (for you to create your custom force with) that will correspond to a recommended genestealer starting presence/spawn rate.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Overall I like both of these sections, but they really only achieve the minimum. They would have been a lot better if each expansion had a mission status display and rules tailored to creating space hulk missions for the chapter that was featured, instead of a word-for-word copy and paste of these sections.</div>

<b>The Bringer of Sorrow</b> takes place above the hive world Corinthe as they face a tendril of hive fleet Moloch. Just when things look like they can’t get any worse, they do when the space hulk bringer of sorrow translates into the system. Knowing that the system is doomed without help, calls for aid are made and the Dark Angles strike cruiser Vengeful Blade responds. Knowing that they lack the resources to battle both threats head on, the Deathwing contingent is dispatched on a daring mission to overload the still functioning plasma reactor of an ancient grand cruiser within the hulk, while the Vengeful blade moves to intercept the hive fleet.</div>

Mission I requires the Deathwing to deploy a CAT to gather data to plot a path to the plasma reactor. The normal CAT fun ensues and victory is achieved by getting the cat and a marine through one of the exit points of the map. In mission II the CAT is acting normally (i.e. has gone completely haywire) and needs to be recovered for a manual data download. Victory is achieved by securing the CAT which enters from a random point, but if the marines failed mission I the genestealers will have a greater say on which point the CAT enters the map from. Mission III places the marines in a race to the plasma reactor’s controls, with less marines to do the job with if they failed mission II. On turns 3, 6, &9 the genestealer will be able to generate new breach points on the map to keep things lively.</div>

<b>Duty and Honor</b> finds us back on Ultramar where “the most famous and respected of all space marine chapters” are super-pumped to get some payback for the Tyranids coming and wrecking house in the Ultramar system. Earlier in our story, every Ultrasmurf that didn’t draw the short straw, had jumped onto their cruisers and headed out of system to kill Tyranids in the Forian crusade. When the Space Hulk ‘Hunter of the void’ shows up near Ultramar, there’s only one ship: “the will of the emperor” lead by Commander Troilus [sic] to stop the threat. </div>

Mission I has Commander Troll and his terminators making entry to the hulk to try and shut down the ion shields that were preventing accurate scans of the core of the hulk. The mission requires accessing a cogitator terminal then moving two marines off board, with the genestealers getting new breach entry points on turn 4 & 8. With the Ion shielding deactivated the true scope of the infestation is revealed and the only option is to destroy the hulk before it reaches Ultramar. In Mission II the ultramarines must advance to an access shaft and drop explosive charges to trigger an explosive chain reaction that will tear the hulk apart. The marines win by making it to the drop point , but the genestealers get a broodlord reinforcement on a variable turn mid-game that will make survival difficult. The resulting explosions shift the structure of the hulk and the marines must race to a turbo-lift to reach a secondary extraction point before they are crushed or ejected into the void. This is my favorite mission of all of the expansions, the marines must advance to the turbo lift to escape; but starting mid game you begin to remove map tiles as the hulk explodes and vents to the void (there are even special void rules for sections attached but not separated by a bulkhead!). </div>

<b>Return to Kalidus</b> follows the Wolf Guard as they board the Scion of Darkness in a surgical strike to deactivate the Shields that protect the Hulk and prevent Teleportation.

<span style="font-family: Times;">In Mission I the wolf guard must reach the console that will activate localized power, activating turbo-lifts that will take them deeper into the hulk to reach their objective: the shield generatorium. The marines make entry via boarding torpedoes that land in random areas, then, win by activating the console on the other side of the map. Mission II has the wolves progressing to the now active turbo-lifts, but if mission one was successful the genestealer starting numbers are reduced. There’s a further twist with two lifts: one will jam and the other will be the operational lift determined randomly once a wolf presses the button on the elevator. The wolves that make it to the lift and escape are recorded for inclusion in Mission III. The final mission starts with only the survivors from mission II (if you’re playing as a campaign) with the possibility of remaining marines arriving later in the game or being killed in the lift before they arrive. If the marine player lost Mission II then a new squad is deployed but the delay means more genestealers. The marines win by deactivating the three shield control consoles, minor victory for deactivating two.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;">As you can see from the list of what’s included, not all of these expansions are created equally. It’s wonderful that they took the time to create rules for every variant of the Deathwing, on the other hand it’s really a shame that they couldn’t be bothered to think of some character or loadout (or <i>anything unique</i>. You can get the same Cyclone rules from the DA expansion) to attach to the Ultramarines to fill their roster out in some way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times;">So should you buy the expansions? Well, If you already have an ipad (it’s a shame that they don’t sell this content in another format. The mission screen is nice, but I don't think it was worth limiting the audience like they have by going ibook-exclusive) I would recommend the Dark Angels Expansion as your first purchase. If you’re on a budget you can skip the other two and create custom rules for your chapter of choice using the wealth of examples that the DA expansion gives you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

While airbrush recommendations and theory can be found on most of the hobby sites, the rest of the system seems to be the subject of some neglect. I’d like to focus on the basics and how to select your first (or perhaps an upgraded) compressor. I’ll talk about airbrushes and advanced theory in a later post if there's interest, but for now let’s focus on what has been clearly neglected in most airbrush starter guides: The Compressor. I’ll explain what elements you’ll want to have on a compressor and why, then show a comparison between a bargain model and a premium kit.</span></div>

If you’re painting automobiles or doing spray-tans in your garage, you can probably get away with other solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">This is simply the pump that is pushing air towards your airbrush. Already we run into the first problem: almost all pump mechanisms pump in pulses as they recharge and discharge the air into the system. While this isn’t a problem for most tools, your airbrush will be negatively affected by uneven airflow. This has to do with the physical properties of liquids and their resistance to being compressed. As pressure pulses along your hose line to your airbrush, the rate at which you aerosolize your paint will vary accordingly. Long story short: you’re going to be seeing some splatter that you wouldn’t normally have with even airflow.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">There are some advanced piston pumps that can provide nearly even flow, but they’re expensive and even they will be a poor substitute for an air reservoir/tank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">To get around the uneven flow of air we need to add an <b>Air Tank </b>to our system. By collecting the air that the pump is pushing, and holding it in a larger reservoir, we can flow off of that tank without getting the repeated pulse of pressure that the pump will be creating. This also has some other benefits of reducing noise (the pump won’t be running the entire time you’re spraying) and extending the pump’s life by giving the motor a break in-between tank fills.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Rounding off our shopping list of stuff that needs to be in-line before the air gets to the airbrush are a <b>Regulator</b> and a <b>Moisture Trap</b>. Different paints and applications will work best at different psi’s, a regulator will allow you to flow off of your tank at the psi you set it to. Without one you’ll be flowing at whatever PSI happens to be coming out of your pump or is in the tank at that time which will be way too much.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Your pump will be compressing air that it’s sucking out of the room it’s in, and that air will have some humidity, which means a risk of water in your air line. The airbrush is designed to add paint to a pressurized flow of air and aerosolize it. When a drop of water comes through instead of that air then you get splatter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Both the regulator and moisture trap are usually built into the compressor, but even if they’re not, you can buy them as accessories and attach them inline to your compressor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">With those basic four elements you’re on your way to good airbrushing, but a quick look at your options on the market will show some dramatic range in prices. What do you get for spending more money on a compressor?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">It could be a lot of things; larger air tanks, faster, higher quality, quieter, and stronger air pumps that could potentially power multiple brushes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">It could also be purely cosmetic, a fancy cowling for the compressor, or a carrying handle, or perhaps cup holders?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">By taking a close look at the stats that are (usually) listed for the compressors you’re looking at. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">For example if noise is a problem, find out at what db range the compressor operates at. Keep in mind that your refrigerator operates at roughly 40db and a normal conversation will be roughly 60db. The db scale is logarithmic and for every 10 points the sound increases the sound will be 10 times louder. ‘Silent compressors’ should be around 55db or below, but expect to pay a lot more for the quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">So if I was a hobbyist on a budget, I think I’d go for the TCP compressor, it’s cheaper and superior or comparable in almost all of the listed stats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">There are also other factors to consider that aren’t so easily represented in numbers; such as where the product was manufactured, and the quality of the components. I can’t say if a premium brand will outlast the bargain model, but I think it’s safe to say that the bargain unit is made of the cheapest parts available.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Is your hobby area in a place with one of those monster shop compressors for power tools? Great, just get some adapters and attach the regulator and moisture trap to the tank and you're good to go. Once it stops rattling the walls and the tank fills, you'll have air for days.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13pt;">Another solution is to get an air tank with compressed gas, and hook your regulator to that. It has the advantage of being silent when you're using it, and you can fill it with dry air <o:p>(avialable from welding or beverage supply companies) so you won't have problems with moisture.</o:p></span></div>

Even the greatest airbrush in the world will still perform poorly without a solid compressor setup.</o:p></span></div>

These are the "super secret" objective markers from Secret Weapon Miniatures.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The set consists of six 40mm base 'containers', each with a lid and base with a number inside. The numbers contained consist of: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, & 4. So it's perfect for the 40k rulebook (6th & 7th Edition) mission "The Scouring", but can be useful for whatever mission might require a random reveal objective marker. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The set comes in resin, and unlike some other similar markers from other manufactures, these sculpts are smooth so it will be easy to paint them and still preserve the mystery of where the 4 is hiding (if you're washing a model with lots of surface detail you're going to end up with an non-uniform paintjob which will lead to easily tracked objectives. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Speaking of the paint job the question mark brick screams super mario bros. but someone who got these faster than me beat me to the yellow & black; so I opted for the chrome.<br />
<br />
I've also heard that additional blocks with #'s for 4 & 5 are in the production cue, so in addition to the Scouring mission, they'll also be usable as markers for the new 7th ed. objective cards.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br />
The 40mm markers retail for $19.99<br />

This is a review of two of <a href="http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=52">SWM</a>'s resin terrain kits: the 'generators' (comes with 2 of the generators) and the 'generator & console' pack (which comes with a generator and a console that fits beside it),<br />

The half dome shapes have been synonymous with Sci-fi generators ever since the Imperials set their sights on Hoth. <br />

Overall a *very* nice piece of terrain & the shapes make painting quick. For these I just airbrushed some blue, painted on the silver, washed the details at the core, then added a little blue pigment; very quick and easy for some good results. These do have the 3d printer lines on them, but between the lines that trace the curve of the generator and the detail at the center it's a non-issue as long as you avoid dry-brushing the entire piece. The only place where the lines may impede a smooth paint job is inside the cog icon at the base of the console, a little work will fix that up without any serious effort. The price isn't 'cheap' if you're going for the 3 generator combo; but as with all of SWM's products, you're getting your money's worth in these.</div>

The power supply needs to be hidden somewhere too, I'd like to cut a hole in the bottom of the base so I can hide the power cord when it gets plugged in.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It doesn't effect the application as it's getting glued down to the ring, but good to know for future applications. I tested with a thicker casting elsewhere, and that got pretty hard but the edges were still a little 'rubbery', I think when it's this thin it can't cure completely.)</span><br />
