Hi All, Here's a few pics of some scene-setters finished up – 10mm Pendraken tents with custom-made shields (big battle conference happenin' inside I suspect). Fun stuff to dress an up-coming HYW battle board, which will use 15mm figs besides these camps, and 10mm buildings throughout.
I can't remember who made the peak tents – think they were ACW accessories. |

What was the method you used to paint the off-white tents? They look really nice! |

Thank you Perris! I started with an off-white paint color, but then used dry pigments to lightly-brush on the suggestion of the canvas 'pleating/sagging' (w/brown pigment). There's a bit of shadowing added too with black pigment – along the tie-backs, and a little along the base of each tent, and for the interior cavity. The dry pigments were then locked-in with an overspray of clear flat. Everything was dry-brushed with white to pop the peaks and pleats. Dry pigments can have an almost air-brush effect (feathering), but you're applying lines, and swirling patches with your various brushing techniques. If you don't like what you've achieved – wash it off under the faucet, dry the piece off, and try over till you do (before you'll spray with clear flat to seal the deal). Btw, I use dry pigments to apply camo patterns onto WW2 and modern armor – even on 3mm minis……and never need to clean an airbrush again. ;) |

Thanks for sharing! I will definitely give it a try. |

Thanks for asking. If my pics turn out, I have the first game with this new kit to post on the forum in a week or so. |

I like your idea of using a smaller scale for buildings. It makes the table look better. |

Thanks Legionarius! I'm definitely trying to tease towards a battle-scape look, on the overall 6X4 ft. mat.

We played 2 games of Medieval Masters today, and the guys had a good time with it (me too). A few table shots from the gamin' -
