this one I got over the counter at Michigan Toy Soldier so I'm not sure what they refer to it as on the Dungeon Artifacts website, I chose to paint it as an Italian style villa in warm colors and a red tile roof
I would likely kill for a double-decker porch like that!
again the ultra-precise printing provides a perfect fit of the parts
this one was primed with Krylon Khaki Camouflage from a spray can
this provides a dead flat surface to paint onto as a nice warm tone to work up from
the rest of the paint is Americana craft paint
the roof was started with a deep maroon color and given progressively
lighter dry-brushings of color working up to a bright brick-red, almost an orange
I'm not entirely happy with the green, I based coated it with Dark Hauser Green
then dry-brushed the structure with Light Hauser green to highlight the wood grain
but it looks uneven, this model will likely end up on a base to protect the pillars of the veranda
the wooden floor was just Dark Brown dry-brushed with Honey Brown
the tiled floor was base coated in Storm Gray and dry-brushed with Boulder
it worked out pretty well
the layers stack neatly
they tuck into a corresponding hole in the upper floor providing a very effective lock, floors won't go askew during play if the model is bumped and I don't have to fiddle with those horrid tiny magnets to get things to stay joined together
Another brilliant foray from the good folks at Dungeon Artifacts. I deeply wish that 3D printing had been around when I started gaming. The quality and price of these items is so much better than the stuff we struggled with just a few years ago!
Very Highly Recommended!!!!
