Thanks Arthur,
Yes, it is the Wills corrugated asbestos sheeting
(thankfully not as dangerous a substance as the real stuff!
though I did manage to cut my finger!)
All the Wills sheets are excellent I think,
the relief is great, and realy lends itself to dry brushing,
and gradual building-up of paint effects
the base is brick walling, from Scalescenes - I printed up some brick arches
but though I like the look of the printing, I'm not so impressed by my own cutting of the curves! Still, once you've got a kit - the brickwork can come in handy for walls etc
Hi again Richard,
yes, I've used Citadel / games workshop spray black
it dries quickly, and gives a nice, even, matt surface
I use it regularly as a primer
Also, I use it as a base-coat for figure painting, for the same reasons
And it's much quicker, more even + easier than brush painting a base-coat
Cheers all
Marc
P.S. Crap bands like 5 star sadly stick in my mind!
it must be something to do with the way the brain interprets music...
Luckily, I remember good stuff too!
