A funny thing is that to my eye, the brownish color seemed flat and blended into the stone but looking at this picture, they look decent without being garish or overwhelming. In fact, for the past weeks that I've been posting these pictures, I find that I may be kinda blah about how the thing itself came out, but once I look at a picture, I'm happy with the outcome. It looks like I've come up with a standard operating procedure for the future. Whenever I paint something, I take pictures of it. If I like the pictures, it's fine. If I don't, back to the drawing board or painting station until I do like it. Brilliant!
I took a look at the box for GW's Mines, Bombs and Booby Traps. A bazillion resin markers for fairly cheap? Not bad, guys. I think I'll pick one up when I have money again. I already want to get a Blastscape to add to my craters, a Battlescape and some Defense Lines. And yes, I do have a soft spot for the other buildings. Sure, I don't need a Bastion because I can make equivalents much more cheaply (and have) but for the most part, I've been very satisfied with GW's buildings. Their minis I'll find for as cheap as I can, but their buildings I'm actually willing to pay full price for because they're usually worth it.
The plan for tonight is to start gluing the templates for short walls and towers on foamcore so that I can start cutting in the next few days and then, with the time remaining paint up Whirlwind #1. Not that I'll have much time after that, but if I do, I think I'll start assembling Whirlwind #2. That's the plan, but then again, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Let's see what I actually manage to accomplish...
