Propapalooza week 19 (2024 week 50)

Finally we have reached the end of the major push for D&L props. There's a handful left that were missing pieces (because I lost them), were so unuseful that I couldn't be bothered (so I didn't paint them) and/or I'm saving them for some nefarious purpose. Also, I really, really needed to be done with them. Anyway.

First up we have a set of stone bridges. I think the two small ones and the two larger ones are from different Dungeons and Lasers kickstarters and since I had so many of them, I painted them differently. The two foreground ones are painted as normal with some additional effort toward weathering which I think worked out pretty well. The ones in back are heavily darkened because they're supposed to be in night time. I don't think that sold as well. I didn't do any OSL on the night time ones though that was my first thought because it's super inefficient to light bridges that way and I just couldn't see that being a real thing.

Next up we have four sci-fi busted up corners. These fit on top of their normal tiles which is nice but they didn't have any convenient ways for me to magnetize them which is not. I basecoated them in metallic through the airbrush which sped things up quite a lot. I spent extra time picking out details and darkening them down with various washes. I think they look OK but I doubt they're going to get much screen time because while they do match the Dungeons and Lasers tiles, they don't match my hand-made magnetized foam tiles. 

 

These are also busted up corners in the fantasy realm this time. I figured these were sitting out in the elements and weathered them down a bunch. I didn't put a ton of effort into them and it kind of shows. The shields and other wooden bits get lost a bit in the background but that's probably OK since these are background terrain pieces rather than center pieces. These might get some screen time.

 

These last busted up fantasy corners I like a lot better. I think they're more striking and spent a little bit more time on them as a result. I didn't do anything particularly differently with the stonework but I think it came out a lot better. I did some highlighting on the exposed timber which helps sell them. I have high hopes for these.
