Skeleton of a Beast - Terrain - Finished



I started to paint the piece by priming with  black primer followed by a brown which looks very red in the picture.

I then painted the entire piece with Graveyard Earth.

Followed by  a heavy dark brown wash.

This was too dark for me as it is meant to be a desert theme so I repainted the Tallarn Sand and then painted the skeleton in Karak Stone.

Applied the wash again.

Then drybrushed the skeleton with Karak Stone again.

Followed by a drybrush of Bone.

Drybrushed the sand with Tallarn Sand to highlight and the skeleton with Skull White. Next was to add some detail with dead grass and all done.

Some pictures showing the Conan miniature for scale.

Skeleton of a Beast - Terrain - WIP


I found this glow in the dark skeleton of a dinosaur in a kids magazine as a promotional gift and purchased it with the idea of using it to make some terrain.


The model came in several parts and I plan to make two pieces of terrain with it, one a desert based type and the other will be a jungle scene.


I started with a base of hard board or MDF then primed the skeleton with black primer and then glued the skeleton onto it. I cut some of the bones off to make the pose a bit more realistic.



Once that was dry I applied quick drying gap filler, used for walls, to the base for the ground. Once dry I applied some PVA glue and a some sand.


Next up the painting.
