Just built this siege tower and wondering if it would look better painted or not?

give it a nice wood stain and a light dry brush with a grey |

I thought about grey. But as these were built on site they would probably not be around long enough to age. Maybe a brown stain and dry brush more of a dirt color? Just worried about ruining it :-) |

Leave it be, or give it a wash. I think that it looks fine as is. |

The "leave it bes" and my lazy gene win. At some point I may jazz it up with some detailing… |

Curious where you got the kit from. |

Agreed: leave it as it is! I think anything you do to it, would ruin it. It looks fantastic, as it is now. I have a cardstock model siege tower from FDG, which is gray. It looks great, but it also looks as though it is older, and it has seen some battles. So your idea of making it gray, has merit. I would give it a matte clear coat, and call it, "fantastic" -- put it on the table! Cheers! |

Leave as is or a light wash |

Here's my lazy thought – take 5 minutes and weather it with a light ground pigment. Literally dust it with a soft brush dipped in dry pigment. You keep the wood look, you get some depth added, it doesn't look like it just rolled off the assembly line, and you don't even break a sweat. |
