This will unfortunately be a pretty short post because I need some sleep soon. But here goes!
Priming with black AND white spray
For the first time in years I did something new with my priming. I tried the prime 2k technique best explained by Roman at Massive Voodoo. The short version of it is, spray the model with black primer. Let it dry. Spray a little bit with white primer. And then you have something like this:
Black in the nooks and crannies and white on the top surfaces is what I was aiming for.
Painting bricks
- Start with 50/50 Vallejo Terracotta and GW Macharius Solar Orange.
- Mix in some Vallejo Iraqi Sand or similar (like GW Bleached Bone) in the base color and add a highlight or two on the edges of the bricks.
- Wash the bricks with Vallejo Sepia Shade, mostly at the sides where they connect to the ground.
- More layers of wash – GW Gryphonne Sepia this time and add it all over the bricks but try to avoid painting over the highlights.
- Optional: Devlan Mud and Badab Black to give the bricks a more weathered look.
Off topic – Repainted the wood
I wasn‘t happy with the wood and the stone walls so I worked a lot on them to give them a bit more contrast between each other so that they don’t blend into one big grey/brown wall. It‘s not perfect but it’s a lot better than before.
With flash.

Damn, it‘s almost been exactly one year since my last post. I guess I’ve been busy with other stuff. At least I'm back now and hopefully there will be a lot more stuff painted during the coming autumn and winter which is the best time for wargaming :)
The Ruined Coaching Inn
This is how far I‘ve gotten on this amazing house from Tabletop World. As you can see it’s only the first floor, the other two floors are still unpainted. Stay tuned for more.
Difficult to get a good shot. I will try to shoot better ones in the future.

I was about to send an e-mail to Tabletop World and ask them if my Ruined Coaching Inn was on it's way or if it had been devoured by the Icelandic ashes. But to my surprise, a note in my mail later that day said it was delivered to my post office so I picked it up immediately.
Tabletop World deliver what they promise
The initial reactions were …
— My god this looks amazing, fantastic, awesome, great, wooohaaa!
The secondary reactions came later …
— This will take forever to paint!
But I can't blame Tabletop World for making a detailed piece of scenery. I think it will be a pleasure to assemble and paint. I'll add a few lowres pictures from my iPhone so you can see the amount of stuff that was in the box.
