Antenocitis Workshop has a couple of new prepainted MDF releases in their Made for Infinity line.
They are well designed and are sized to be LoS obstructions even for 40K. These will be great with the Asian Restaurants or the Neo-Tiki Motel that Antenocitis also have on offer. The wood color is actually laser charred and not paint... which makes this kit have a strong odor of burnt wood even before opening the box. This dissipates eventually and I hit them with some Dead Flat sealer so they can be handled more casually.
Our trusty Burna Boy is checking out the rental office of the Neo-Tiki Motel. This is a small building with a GIANT sign that services the Neo-Tiki Motel. This is a WiP and the Neo-Tiki Motel have detailed interiors sold as a separate upgrade pack that contains both interior sets.
The Asian Wall Set v2 makes 11 wall section and one (working) gate.
The Prepainted MDF has a covering that is a single color with details laser cut in so its not completely or 'finely' painted but it does make a great surface for adding in those extra details if you like without it looking so much like painted MDF.
It is recommended to varnish or seal the prepainted MDF to reduce smudging from handling. I had not though of that and wish I'd seen the recommendation before working on Hab 3 from the Forward Base line. Once the clear acrylic components are installed sealing becomes more tricky! Its a learning process. My current plan is to seal the interior upgrade pack before removing the components from the MDF sheet and then do any extra detailing after that... resealing if required. The reason being that the clear acrylic doors and windows really need to be installed before the model is assembled. Otherwise there is a significant risk of damaging the MDF.
While we're talking about Hab 3 I'm making some progress on the resin bits. I'm interested to see what the difference is between the old resin accessorized offerings and the new "all MDF" versions.
Lastly a couple of pictures of the Accidental Dwarf Army that is on the painting desk because I has a paint mix error that resulted in me digging out The Battle for Skull Pass box set and... since I was doing the goblins to eat up the erroneous paint mix I , of course, had to do the dwarves because they were there!
These will initially get some use as Imperial Dwarves in Kings of War but will certainly find their way back onto the table in my Oldhammer games.
These guys are a uniformed army while my Freeholds will be built from Atlantis Miniatures Dwarfs and then there is the giant pile of Mantic Dwarfs to grapple with...
Back to the desk!
