Another quick Season of Scenery 2023 post today – Two years ago, I painted and posted this same kit – Warlord Games’ Stone Bridge.
The original one was picked up in June 2017 and then painted in August 2020 for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery 2020. I don’t recall when I picked up this second kit, but I can only assume it was after I painted the first one. In any case, the kit’s been sitting around as a set of sprues in a plastic bag (I didn’t get a box, so I presumably purchased it direct from Warlord). Marouda and I were doing some cleaning and sorting a couple of weeks ago and I found the sprues, so I grabbed them out to get rid of (by assembling and painting, obviously).
I didn’t check how I’d painted the first one before starting on this one. After assembly, I added AK Interactive Easycast texture and then left it to dry. When I was adding the texture, I noticed that the ends had separated and not glued in tight, which was annoying, so I added a little more in those corners. Sprayed black, then a couple shades of zenithal grey. Spray Coat of Satin varnish. Drybrushed a couple of layers of grey, let it dry. Washed with a black-brown mix. Drybrushed again in two shades of grey. Washed the underside with a mix of Athonian Camoshade wash mixed with a dollop of VMC Medium Olive. One more light drybrush of light grey.
Wet-brushed shading of thin panzergrau in the inner corners, then added the same with thinned track brown. Spray varnished again. Found it was a bit too shiny once it was dry, so I brought it inside and painted the whole thing with a roughly 3:5 mix of Contrast Medium and AK Ultramatte varnish. Done!
