Rob Phipps in the UK, a friend of mine from the Croc Games forums, has shamed me by painting a set of my tents before I have! They're done in a winter theme to match his Hyperborean/Wendigo game table: picture picture There are several more pics in the thread where I'm blogging my progress with my "Forge of Ice": link The tents were sculpted by TMP's own resident mad genius of all things prehistoric, Cacique Caribe, and they're cast out of resin by Valiant Enterprises. If you want a set, well, I don't have a store set up yet, but there are ordering details are in the thread linked above. -Alex

WOW! I'm not into that genre and I still think they look great. meh |

Hmm. With the tents matching the Wendigo for color scheme, you have to wonder where they got the skins for the tents… |

Great! How was the snow effect done on the tents? |

They look great! As I posted yesterday, I have two sets of primitive tents that I purchased from Alxbates and I am thrilled with them. |

I have no idea how Rob did the snow effect on the tents, but I can ask him. |

I am rally looking forward to those tents. Rob did a nice job with them (and that board). |

Regarding the snow effect, Rob says: I Just use a bit of PVA wood glue on the bits I wanted covered in snow, then used a white flock, then another coat of PVA and then Bicarbonate of Soda for the snow effect. You get a nice brilliant crisp white from it.
You don't have to use a white flock underneath but it stops any colour from the tent from showing through if your PVA is too thin. And that's how he does it! -Alex |

Alex: I mentioned the tents on my blog. They are great. I also swiped a few pictures of them from your blog. Hope that's okay? I gave credit for the paint job. gamingterrain.blogspot.com |
