Scenery for Dune inspires yet another new project.
Whilst at SALUTE having purchased the SAND game, I wanted to find a piece of terrain to make the fighting area more interesting (terrain is not important in this game). I found nothing and then on one of the last traders I saw before leaving I found this by “Terrain by Hand” had to order to be sent to me as he had limited stock.
The model is a 3d print complete with basic interior detail (no photos, not painted yet) very nice model. In these pictures I have undercoated in black and given a zenithal highlight with a desert sand spray paint and a final zenithal of citadel wraithbone.
Firstly I base coated model, using Contrast Skeleton Horde on the walls, Contrast Cygor Brown for the metalwork and wiring, and AK WW1 French Brown for rhe roof and skirt with a grimdark shadow wash. 
The walls were drybrushed with AK Milky Coffee upthrough ( two in-between drybrushes adding the top highlight to the base highlight) to Brainmatter Beige.
The roof was drybrushed AK WW1 French Brown upthrough to Army Painter Barnarian Flesh. 
For the megal work I primarily drybrushed with various golds and bronze ( Army Painter; Weapon Bronze, Aztec Gold, Emperor's gold, shining gold) with some silver for a final highlight. The lights were painted with Army Painter Sheildwall Blue upto white.
With the Sand figures.
Looking at the scenery, i felt it had a cool 60's sci fi vibe, perfect for the Lucid Eye Plot Device miniatures that had been in my painting pile of shame for to long. So a new project has been started (Search "plot device")SAND inspires new project.
I went to SALUTE yesterday where my two main goals were to visit Spectre Miniatures, to introduce my friend to the Cosmic Horror game, amd to visit Crow Industries to try out their SAND game (fantastic mechanics in this game, very original I may do a battle report in the future) for which I bought the starter set.
Got home and painted all the miniatures. This is a first for me, to have all the miniatures for a game painted on the same day I bought them.
Thought I needed to share this momentous achievement, but it was not really project material. I have been meaning to post up pictures of a lot of my models painted over the last couple of years for sometime now. So here is my log of painted stuff that does not really fit anywhere else.
I will start photographing other models tomorrow.
The completed starter set, all the models were painted, basing and pigments applied, a rust and an ochre, matt varnished, then I applied three coats of gloss varnish to the visors, and painted the metallic to keep their sheen.
The Good Guys. Undercoated, drybrushed up in a khaki/grey mix, adding Warpaints (WP) Brainmater Beige until I was happy. Painted the visors in WP Tainted Garden and adding Brainmatter Beige (BB), with a final dot of almost pure BB. I then added sand to the base, when this dried I dusted the two pigments generously over the base and more sparingly up the lower half of their legs. I finished off as described above.
The Bad Guys. Drybrushed black through grey, given a wash of WP Grimdark Shadow wash. Visors painted black, highlights, WP The Darkness, Two Thin Coats Marine Blue, then adding white upto a final very pale blue dot.
