The next step in the dramatic hills is painting. I have already covered them with my mix of wood glue and wallboard compuond and then given them a base-coat of house paint (the weak beige color that is faintly shiny) and I started adding the layers of sedimentary colors. They strike as too loud by half, hopefully a good dirtry wash and then some drybrushing will blend them a little better.
and yes, somebody has already advised me that the sedimentary layers should all be the same at each layer (counting up from the bottom), hey I am a wargamer, not a geologist!
Thoughts, ideas and comments are welcome!
As stand-alone pieces, it would be easy to say that these are too gaudy. But I don't think that's necessarily the case. Once you get them onto a nice ground cloth and contrast them with plantlife, water, etc., an entirely different picture will emerge. Keep going! Good work!
