Appropriately enough... time for a resurrection!
I don't know why, but I had a sudden flash of clarity this week about what I wanted to do with this so I dusted off the cobwebs and here we go...
First up a liberal smothering of Vallejo textured dark earth across the ground and up the ends of the walls
Then a general coat of Black Primer from Unmentionable Magic Potions (I think that's what it stands for anyway)
First steps in actual painting; the wall is picked out in Game Colour extra opaque heavy charcoal to act as a base, and the tomb is Vallejo gloss black
Some random green patterns were added to the black to act as a marbling effect (that's the theory anyway)
I then cracked on a bit... the wall was given a stippled mix of four greys all from Scalecolor: Brown Grey, Graphene Grey, Rainy Grey & Petroleum Grey. These were then liberally dosed with mixed clay washes of Ultimate Algae, Dark Dirt and Grime. The ground was picked out in Game Colour extra opaque heavy brown with dark dirt clay wash added to give some depth.
Oh and the tomb was given a couple of black washes to tone down and blend the green "marbling" and then given a gloss coat with Aqua Gloss
The railings were done in stippled mixes of Lifecolor rust shades and weathered with similar washes to the wall; then the rose on the ground was picked out with Scalecolor greens & reds
Now to cover up all that work... the winter bushes were added and then Tamiya snow was stippled around and over the whole thing
And here's the finished result with her ladyship in residence!
Hope you like it - and thanks for checking in on this ancient thread!
