Supplied unpainted. Cast to order.
Fighting Position Suggested Instructions:
This model has been designed to not require flocking and comes with a textured surface which lends itself very well to dry brushing. The use of adhesives and glue over a large area, for example flocking, is not recommended and may cause lifting of the corners. The following are suggested methods:
Preparation:
It is recommended you undercoat the whole piece with an automotive aerosol primer, grey works best. The following colour guides use Vallejo acrylic paint.
Details:
All flooring should be painted a timber colour such as yellow ochre, shuttering should be painted a very dark grey such as German grey. Sandbags can be painted bone white. Then give all of these pieces a brown wash liberally.
For temperate:
Paint the ground burnt umber, then dry-brush either desert yellow or green-brown. Finally, dry-brush lightly with dark flesh, also apply this to the interiors as transferred mud. Apply a matte aerosol varnish at this stage for further durability.
Water down PVA 1:1 with water by volume and apply to the earth and apply static grass as desired. Further, garnish with tufts and or clump foliage.
For dessert:
Paint your desired desert colour. Apply a matte aerosol varnish at this stage for further durability. Add clump foliage and or tufts and or very small stones.
For Winter:
Paint the earthen areas white. Winter (white) or dead (straw-coloured) static grass can be added here using the method above. Apply a matte aerosol varnish at this stage for further durability. Add dead foliage and or tufts and dry brush them white. A white aerosol can be sprayed sparing from above to create a snow effect but remember, a little is a lot!
