This terrain costs about 46 GBP, so it's a lot of money there. My first impression when I received the kit was "how am I going to build it?" Because in comparison with scale model or even Gunpla, it's a totally different approach, where it does require some in dept in my opinion to have it painted nicely. So it's quite a challenge to build it.
As shown in the picture, it consists of a tower, a main chapel, stone fences & wood fences. Unlike Gunpla, where each part has to be painted separately only then assembled together, this terrain can be assembled first only then do the overall painting.
The type of color that I used on this kit is lacquer with acrylic. The lacquer colors that I painted are white and red, and I did the different tone of red on the roof with lacquer as well. As for the other colors, I used mainly acrylic, specifically artist acrylic borrowed from my friend. As for the final layer of washing, I used enamel paint instead.
The technique that I used & still learning in application to the painting is mostly dry brushing & washing. Dry brushing is to enhance the raised details of a surface, i.e. edges of rough stones, while washing is to raised details of sunken surface i.e. the gap between stone, or to create dirt effect i.e. water stain. Some pictures of how the finishing product looks like in up close.
Overall, it's really interesting to work on this terrain, and it's really fun to work on it because the painting is really fun especially after seeing how it turns out at the end. The whole thing does not require much sanding work like Gunpla because terrain not necessarily in good shape all the time, so it's alright to have some mishap.
I was happy on seeing how it turns out because it's enjoyable when seeing the product turns out nicely. I also very thankful that the friend who gave me this terrain to work on gave me pointers on how to improve on my weathering, as a result that now and then I'd observe how structures or objects around me to get some ideas on how to do weathering on my next project.
