This model is a reworking of piece of terrain I created a while ago for a tower, making it into a sweet dice tower. The tower is modular so you can print it a section at a time, and breaks down for storage or transport.
No support required for this print, and painting is pretty easy to get a good result. You will need a couple shades of grey and a cheap sponge (one of the open cell ones, even a kitchen sponge works if it's clean).
Steps:
-
Prime in a grey color.
-
Sponge on a dark grey color (cheap craft paints preferred) in a fairly heavy coat. Don't worry about being super neat and total coverage not required.
-
after the coat is dry, sponge on a lighter grey with less coverage. Focus on the tops, and edges where light might hit. Leave some of the previous coat showing through.
-
Accent with a lighter grey if you want (I usually stop at step 3 for bulk painting) just little dabs on high spots, and tops. You can also dab brown/green around the base lightly to give it some extra flavor.
