\"Outhouse-Tutorial\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello everybody to this Tutorial.<\/p>\n

Painting the Outhouse is quite a fast Paintjob because the areas are relatively small. On the other hand you have to paint the interior if you want to have an functional door.<\/p>\n

To minimize trouble with all the different paint ranges and paint range revises (GW) I will use generic colour descriptions like dark brown additionally I will put the name of the colour I use in parenthesis. The pictures will show exactly which colour I used.<\/p>\n

So, let’s start!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t assemble anything except for the candle board. It’s much easier to paint all parts seperately.<\/p>\n

I undercoated everything black using a spray can.<\/p>\n

After that I basecoated the all parts with a slightly thinned down dark green brown (Charadon Granite).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heavily drybrush all wooden areas with a mid brown (GW Steel Legion Drab).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3: Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drybrush with a lighter brown grey (GW Zandri Dust).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4: Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally drybrush carefully with ivory (GW Tyrant Skull).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5: Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted to colour single shelves differently and more realistic. Therefore I used a dark brown (Agrax Earthshade) and a leather (Gryphonne Sepia) wash.<\/p>\n

If you want to have a stronger effect give the shelves a second wash after the first has dried.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 6: Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Basecoat the Base with a slightly thinned dark brown (GW Dryad Bark).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 7: Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heavy drybrush with a medium grey brown (GW Khemri Brown).<\/p>\n

Finally I carefully drybrushed the base with ivory (GW Tyrant Skull).<\/p>\n

Repaint the stones with black. Followed by drybrushing them with a mid grey (GW Codex Grey) and carefully with pure white.<\/p>\n

In a last step I wanted to define the different materials stone, wood and earth stronger therefore I blacklined them using a dark brown ink (GW Agrax Earthshade).<\/p>\n

Blacklining means painting a line with thinned paint around the contour of something.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 8: Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Paint the paper with ivory (GW Screaming Skull), the nails with a dark metal, the seal and the candle with a dark red (GW Mephiston Red).<\/p>\n

Wash with a dark Brown (GW Agrax Earthshade)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 9: Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Highlight the paper and the seal with thinned ivory (GW Screaming Skull) followed by thinned pure white.<\/p>\n

Highlight the seal and the candle with thinned red (GW Evil Sunz Scarlet) followed by small dots here and there with a thinned orange.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 10: Nails<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paint all metal pieces with dark brown (GW Dryad Bark).<\/p>\n

Highlight the pieces using a warm red brown (GW Skrag Brown).<\/p>\n

Finally paint a small dot of silver on every nail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 11: Weathering<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Weathering<\/a><\/p>\n

In a last painting step I used dry pigments (Weatheringpowder from NOCH) which is available at our online store<\/a> We highly recommend these pigments from Noch because of their quality and price.<\/p>\n

Take a blank sheet of paper where you put some powder with a stiff-bristled brush.<\/p>\n

You can easily mix the dry powders on the paper. All pigments are applied as a powder. There are other ways using pigments but normally I apply them dry.<\/p>\n

If you like you can seal the pigments using a spray can with varnish but I don’t recommend this because it destroys part of the weathering effect and the pigments stick quite good on nearly every surface.<\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started with the Moss powder on the sunk areas of the roof where most of the rain would run through.<\/p>\n

Do the same around the Outhouse where the base begins and here and there on some shelves. Imagine where the most rain would flow down.<\/p>\n

After that I mixed some Grime and Sand Powder and applied it carefully at the top of every row of shingles.<\/p>\n

Finally I carefully applied some of the Grime powder in the corner of the candle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 12: Rust<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Outhouse-Tutorial-12\"<\/a> \"Outhouse-Tutorial-11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a small stiff-bristled brush and carefully apply some rust powder on every nail and add some streakes here and there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 13: Planting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Out-House-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Out-House-8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the planting I used different grass tufts (early Autumn and late Autumn),<\/p>\n

… different moss pads and ivy.<\/p>\n

A pair of tweezers are very helpful.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The grass tufts, moss pads and ivy are available at our online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Birch seeds are used as leeves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That was the final step. I hope you enjoyed reading the tutorial and found it helpful. If you have any question send us an email.<\/strong><\/p>\n
