40K ruins

These are the test pics of a commission I'm working on which is a 40K city terrain set. The brief was to follow the guide of the beige buildings from the inspiriation pictures sent to me by the client. I picked up a can of matt beige (khaki type) spray and gave the set a top down highlight primer before spraying all edges with black spray and then carefully spotting grey over them. After this I picked out the pipes, wires, windows and details one by one before brown inking certain areas for dirt and grime build up and then the orange brown wash to finish the impression of rust build up. 
The result isn't quite as beige as the brief pictures but it's a lovely aproximation and I'm always proud of what I can achieve with a few cans of spray and some determination. 

Photographed here after just the beige spray. Total cost on the primer was £1.79 (as I had black and grey already). It always baffles me when people buy £15.00 cans of sprsy from wargames companies. A company like Army painter must make such a mark up from just a can of spray. This particular colour would look amazing as a zenithal type primer over some brown for some skeletons. I reckon you could paint up an entire army in a few days with that method. The only real downside - the fumes. Even after leaving outside to dry for a bit this lot stunk out my studio space for a little while.
