DIY Miniature World Challenge update 6

Day 6 and it brings a return to some furniture and preping other structural components.

Priming coat and dark brown undercoat for all of the structural components, in preperation for their new colour topcoat tomorrow.

4 more items has received their paint distressing, decay and rot, ready for moss and lichen tomorrow.

I am using an 8 layer sequence for giving my items their “Last of Us” look. Processing of these items today was Layers 4, 5 &6 and are complete ready for Layer 7.

Layer 1: Black primer
Layer 2: Burnt Umber
Layer 3: Main colour
Layer 4: Paint deterioration
Layer 5: Dirt + water staining
Layer 6: Mould + deep rot
Layer 7: Moss/lichen
Layer 8: Environmental dirt and vegetation

This photo is after Layer 4, paint deterioration:

These photo’s are after Layers 5 & 6:

Custom Vinyl stickers have been put in place:

I am really quite surprised how well my printer handled the fine writing at the bottom of the Bone Garden sticker. This one is only 7mm high. I need a magnifier to read the bottom row:

These stickers will blend with what they are attached to more once Layer 7 Moss/lichen is done.

Anyway, this was a solid 8 hours today including drying times as Layer 5 is very water heavy and needed sufficient time to dry. I am done for the day.

Till tomorrow folks. Happy Crafting.

8 hours?! :flushed_face::joy: That’s a serious crafting day! I love seeing how you build up the ageing layer by layer. And that tiny Bone Garden sticker is such a cool detail! :heart_eyes: Can’t wait to see how it all looks once the moss and lichen are on.

Oh Autumn will be in here somewhere too, just going heavy on the dystopian horror theme as well. :grin:

What a great job, the finished ones definitely have a “last of us” vibe to them and the custom stickers that you printed are fantastic
