Softening the Blastscape
Sunday, September 5th, 2010Having given the Blastscape a base coat of black and red primer, I used a brown spray to soften the harshness of the base coat.
I was quite pleased with the effect. Next stage is drybrushing.

After applying the texture and letting it dry fully I gave the blastscape a basecoat of black and red primer.
I decided to add some texture to the blastscapes. I mixed some polyfilla, white glue, sand and water. This was then brushed liberally over the blastscapes. These photographs were taken when they were wet.
Having been slightly disappointed with the quality of the Blastscape scenery, I decided that I would try and improve on the models by adding some texture and scenic items.
Using PVA (white glue) and GW sand I flocked the edges. I also added some GW slate to some of the pieces.
It came in a plastic bag! They are vac formed plastic.
When I saw this product for Apocalypse on the Games Workshop website, it looked really good.

So I thought I would get a pack.
Alas the original image on the website was of some resin masters, the vac formed final product was nothing like what we saw in the previews. Though GW did revise the product image to what you actually got rather than using resin masters.

It was a pity really that they didn’t make resin versions (like the Urban Barricades and Ork Barricades). Having said all that, they were a splash release and are now no longer available to buy.
