Painting Tutorial “Sandbag Emplacement” by Elmar Fischer<\/strong><\/p>\n

I painted a second set of sandbagsrecently and took the chance to take some step-by-step pictures in the process. There are only a few simple steps affordable to paint the sandbags to look good and realistic.<\/p>\n

Let’s start!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

The sandbags are cast in a high quality light beige resin. After washing the models and letting them dry the first step was to prime them. I used a sprycan and gave the models a thin coat of white primer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: First Wash<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

In a second step the whole model got a heavy dark brown wash. Because I sculpted and textured each sandbag individually this simple and fast step brings the structure and the details out very well.<\/p>\n

The next picture shows two pieces after a wash with Devlan Mud (Games Workshop).<\/p>\n

For those of you without Devlin Mud you take the new Agrax Earthshade fom GW or Umber Shade Wash from Vallejo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3: Second Wash<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

After that the pieces got a wash with heaviely thinned brown acrylic paint.<\/p>\n

This works best if you add a little drop of dishwasher to the mix because this reduces the tenson of the water to make the wash flow far better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Comparison<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

In this picture you can compare the different different results done by the two washes. The left one was done with the thinned acrylic colour, the right got a wash with Devlan Mud. As a basis for the next steps the results of one washe is as good as the other.<\/p>\n

You could even end the painting process at this stage and the models would look o.k. on the gaming board.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

Basecoate the wooden part with a dark Brown.<\/p>\n

Then I carefully drybrushed the pieces with a mix of beige and white including the wooden part.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5: Third Wash<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

I intended to give the models a bit more contrast and aplied another wash.<\/p>\n

This time I used a thinned down Devlan Mud (1 paint : 2 water).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

 <\/p>\n

In a last step I used dry pigments (Weatheringpowder from NOCH) which is available at our online store<\/a> to paint the areas where the sandbags are damaged.<\/p>\n

I used the coulour Dust. Mix some of the powder with clear spirit using an old brush.<\/p>\n

Then apply the mix to the damaged areas.<\/p>\n

After drying you can remove obsolete pigments using an old brush with some of the clear spirit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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