I continue to produce the True-Tiles terrain, and although I have changed directions on the base pieces, the top pieces are just fine. However, after my first batch, I realized that using Army Painter paints for the painting of this amount was not very cost effective – I nearly emptied my Dark Wash bottle, and most of my Oak Brown, and made a big dent in the other colors. At $6-8 per bottle, that isn’t workable.
Taking a cue from Wyloch’s videos, I have instead opted for the cheap craft route, and picked up several bottles of paint from the local Hobby Lobby. My next set (and eventually the initial set) I am going to base coat in simple Black, then drybrush first with Rainy Day Gray, followed by Pale Gray. All are from Anita’s All Purpose Acrylic craft paint line, and with discounts, were $3 or less for 30x as much. Once I have a set painted up, I will post the updates.
In my case, I am not going to re-paint the oak doors – those turned out pretty decent, and I am not currently planning on printing more anyway, so there is little need to match with others. The floor tiles however will need to be repainted, only to match with the coloration of the newer sets.
