Its neutral state allows for the application of a wide range of painting and weathering techniques, including acrylic paints, enamels, pigments, and washes, to achieve desired atmospheric and wear effects.
Construction Material:
The base has been precisely cast from durable resin. This material is characterized by its resistance to deformation and its ability to reproduce the finest details, which is crucial for the realistic appearance of the cobblestones and drain grate. The high quality of the casting minimizes the need for additional preparation before painting.
Recommended Colors and Painting:
For an optimal finish, it is recommended to use acrylic or enamel paints on the base. Below are suggested colors from the Vallejo Model Color palette, which can serve as a starting point for painting the cobblestones and drain:
Cobblestones: Various shades of greys and browns, e.g., Vallejo Model Color 70.869 Basalt Grey, 70.992 Neutral Grey, 70.836 London Grey, 70.826 German Cam. Medium Brown. Mixing these colors will allow for a natural, varied stone appearance.
Drain: Dark shades, e.g., Vallejo Model Color 70.862 Black Grey, 70.995 German Grey. For grate details and rust effects, 70.863 Gunmetal Grey can be used, along with appropriate rust-effect paints (e.g., from the Vallejo Rust & Corrosion series).
After applying the base colors, it is recommended to apply weathering techniques such as washes, filters, and pigments to give the surface a realistic effect of dirt, moisture, or wear, thereby increasing the realism of the entire diorama.
