Bases
As so many times lately, I used Vallejo's Mud Effect to create some sort of an irregular terrain for my BattleMechs to stomp on, and let it cure overnight. It's been a nice and simple method for getting a quick non-flat ground that won't fall off the base when moving the minis. The next day I gave the ground bits and the 'Mech feet a drybrsuhing with a wood-coloured paint (VMA 71077 Wood).
A colleague commented my wip photos* and humbly suggested some sort of an edge highlighting to improve the readability of the minis. I had no argument against that, he just managed to express it better than my generic low-level annoyance of low readability. That was a useful term indeed. So I gave them a gentle drybrushing with a medium grey (VMA 71120 USAF Medium Grey). Despite my A4 background, or exactly because of it the minis ended up looking darker than in the other photos. Or I chose a worse place for the lights, or I simply didn't understand how my phone camera worked.
*) The WIP photos pointed out three more masking tape pieces. Hopefully those were the last ones. Unbelievable.
