6MMRPC Week 15: Ainsty Wharves and Jetties....shipping out

The horros of packing up the house and dealing with old employer/new employer HR continues to suck at my time and energy. I haven't gone dark quite yet though. Here is another appropos submission, considering my move will require a ferry ride.

One again we have some more Ainsty resin terrain. All my Ainsty stuff came in two large purchases that occurred in successive Decembers. I remember this because 'it was a gift to me'.....how we trick ourselves. It's great to see the lot finally done up. I still have other Ainsty stuff, but they will be their own projects.

After finishing the browns, I wanted to do more, and add some colour. Scum/Kelp/mold/rot/etc was the obvious choice, but I was quite sure how to swing it. Thankfully I remembered the great work done by Barry at League of Augsberg on his pirate ship (here), who shared his recipe when prompted.

Voila:

Definitely the look I desired.

  1. Stirling work! You have some pirates and a ship to go with this lot? Perhaps a shark or crocodile to weave their way amongst the Pier struts?

    1. I do have a pile of lead pirates squirreled away. Unfortunately no aquatic fauna though....unless there's something hidden in the bones releases? I know there's a weird were-shark thing, perhaps I could cut that down.....

    1. Thanks Phil. It's good to hear that. I was worried they might look a bit too cartoony.
