Statue and storage buildings

The buildings here I simply knocked together from plasticard. Their purposes are to add a bit of colour variation to the board, to more closely represent the often haphazard and clustered placing of buildings and to allow infantry to trundle merrily through the area while restricting its attractiveness to AFVs and similar. There was a slight problem with the varnish, and you may be able to make out certain areas where it has misted. Lamentably, this was even more the case on the artillery emplacement I was working on, which will need some heavy duty rescue work. Tsk. The slight damage done here is not enough to warrant that, I feel.









The statue is a rubber chess piece of Darth Vader which seemed very apt for a statue. A headless Princess Leia and an unadulterated Emperor Palpatine from the same set are doing duty in some graveyards upstairs. Painting amounted to a black undercoat, then several drybrushes of grey on the base, and some washes of cream over the statue's stand to differentiate it. The statue itself received a coat of Citadel Colour Burnish Gold (an old pot still sitting about), then a wash with Devlan Mud, then a drybrush with Mithril Silver.
