A variety of bits is really worth it. In fact, I really did actually order the second one from amazon while writing this. Seriously. ## Painting -[Prime](2017-04-12_08.18.17.jpg) +![Prime](2017-04-12_08.18.17.jpg) * Prime the pieces with dark brown primer. I love the Krylon Fusion paints, they are super flat and bind to plastic really well. -[Burnt Sienna](2017-04-12_08.44.28.jpg) +![Burnt Sienna](2017-04-12_08.44.28.jpg) * Hit the stone areas with medium coverage of Burnt Sienna. You want to make sure the deep areas still show through with the dark brown. -[Raw Sienna](2017-04-12_09.04.49.jpg) +![Raw Sienna](2017-04-12_09.04.49.jpg) * Now do a lighter coverage of Raw Sienna. Not quite a drybrush, but make sure the paintbrush is not particularly full of paint. -[Honey Brown](2017-04-12_09.23.03.jpg) +![Honey Brown](2017-04-12_09.23.03.jpg) * Now drybrush with Honey brown. This is intended to be a highlight, so you want to focus on it ending up on the upturned edges of the piece. I do this by only moving the brush down against the part. -[Fawn](2017-04-12_09.30.36.jpg) +![Fawn](2017-04-12_09.30.36.jpg) * (Optional) Now use fawn to pick out about 5 blocks per piece. Drybrush the fawn on and onto the same brick on the reverse side. Pick different bricks for each of the 4 parts. -[Sepia Wash](2017-04-12_09.42.23.jpg) +![Sepia Wash](2017-04-12_09.42.23.jpg) * (Optional) Now use a sepia wash and pick out 5 more bricks. Cover the whole brick with the wash on front and back. This is called glazing. We are using the wash to tint the entire brick. -[Brown Wash](2017-04-12_09.48.39.jpg) +![Brown Wash](2017-04-12_09.48.39.jpg) * (Optional) Finally glaze 5 more random bricks with a brown wash. Brown and sepia are similar, but the hue is still different, and the bricks will give some variation. -[Highlight](2017-04-12_09.59.49.jpg) +![Highlight](2017-04-12_09.59.49.jpg) * (Optional) Highlight the stone embelishments (the arches, pillars and base of the niche) with a mix of Desert Sand and Honey Brown -[Grate: Black Wash](2017-04-12_09.50.17.jpg) +![Grate: Black Wash](2017-04-12_09.50.17.jpg) * Use a black wash inside the grate at the bottom -[Grate: Dark Metallic](2017-04-12_09.52.44.jpg) +![Grate: Dark Metallic](2017-04-12_09.52.44.jpg) * Use a very dark metallic on the grate itself. I used Adamantium Black. -[Grate: Dark Metallic](2017-04-12_09.54.31.jpg) +![Grate: Dark Metallic](2017-04-12_09.54.31.jpg) * Highlight the grate with a lighter metallic. I chose to also go for a more dull color in Aged Pewter to show the age. -[Embellishments: Bronze](2017-04-12_10.14.13.jpg) +![Embellishments: Bronze](2017-04-12_10.14.13.jpg) * Paint the tracery on the top, the rods and the small symbol above the niche with a bronze paint. Here I use Old Bronze. -[Embellishments: Verdigris](2017-04-12_10.21.58.jpg) +![Embellishments: Verdigris](2017-04-12_10.21.58.jpg) * Mix a green and a blue to create a turquoise. Then add a wash medium and some water. I use equal parts Liquitex Matte Medium and water to make the wash. If you don't have that, you can use water and a little rubbing alcohol to make the wash. The alcohol will make it so the wash also sticks to surfaces instead of just going for the crevices. -[Embellishments: Verdigris Highlights](2017-04-12_10.26.54.jpg) +![Embellishments: Verdigris Highlights](2017-04-12_10.26.54.jpg) * I took my green which was already close to a turquoise and dry brushed the raised surfaces to get more verdegris on the metal. -[Door: Prime](2017-04-12_16.57.17.jpg) +![Door: Prime](2017-04-12_16.57.17.jpg) * Paint the door and door arch (glue 2 back to back) with the krylon flat dark brown -[Door: Burnt Umber](2017-04-12_17.00.32.jpg) +![Door: Burnt Umber](2017-04-12_17.00.32.jpg) * Hit the wood on the door with Burnt Umber -[Door: Milk Chocolate](2017-04-12_17.02.14.jpg) +![Door: Milk Chocolate](2017-04-12_17.02.14.jpg) * Do a lighter layer with Milk Chocolate. I'm keeping the browns a different hue from the stone to make it clear that this is wood. -[Door: Dry Brush](2017-04-12_17.04.24.jpg) +![Door: Dry Brush](2017-04-12_17.04.24.jpg) * Dry brush with Honey Brown -[Door: Metal](2017-04-12_17.08.08.jpg) +![Door: Metal](2017-04-12_17.08.08.jpg) * I used the Aged Pewter on all the metal parts and on the two sides. -[Door: Black Lining](2017-04-12_17.10.20.jpg) +![Door: Black Lining](2017-04-12_17.10.20.jpg) * Then lined around the metal parts with a black wash. -[Door Arch](2017-04-12_17.14.04.jpg) +![Door Arch](2017-04-12_17.14.04.jpg) * Paint the arch and the top of the door like the rest of the stonework. ## Construction -[Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.29.49.jpg) +![Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.29.49.jpg) * Glue some short lengths of filament into two of the walls. A pin vice can be useful in this step if the holes are not well cleared. -[Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.32.14.jpg) +![Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.32.14.jpg) * Glue two sides together, making sure that the filament sides are oriented so you can glue the two halves together. The filament acts as a strengthener to keep the bond between sides strong. -[Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.33.55.jpg) +![Construction: Walls](2017-04-12_10.33.55.jpg) * Glue the two halves together and clamp. -[Construction: Floors](2017-04-12_10.48.43.jpg) +![Construction: Floors](2017-04-12_10.48.43.jpg) * If using the floors, glue them into two halves and wait to dry. -[Construction: Floors](2017-04-12_10.50.51.jpg) +![Construction: Floors](2017-04-12_10.50.51.jpg) * Then glue the two sides together. -[Construction: Pillars](2017-04-12_15.43.35.jpg) +![Construction: Pillars](2017-04-12_15.43.35.jpg) * Flip over and glue the pillars in the corners. The pillars are painted the same way as the rest. -[Construction: Awning](2017-04-12_15.48.59.jpg) +![Construction: Awning](2017-04-12_15.48.59.jpg) * Glue the painted roof and arches to the building, but *not* the pillars. There's an outline on the building of where these two pieces should be glued. I found it works out better if you glue the arches first and then the roof. -[Construction: Door Assembly](2017-04-12_17.15.35.jpg) +![Construction: Door Assembly](2017-04-12_17.15.35.jpg) * Slide the decorative arch in, then the door. Don't glue, this is made to be able to hold windows (like 3 sides of the real mausoleum) or a wall. Both of which I plan on releasing later. -[Final Product](2017-04-14_17.57.18.jpg) +![Final Product](2017-04-14_17.57.18.jpg) * Final Product +[Up to other guides](../README.md)
