(Painting) Concrete Traffic Barriers for Death Planet Iota

I've had a lot of miscellaneous pieces collected in the apartment, definitely going back as far when I moved in almost two years ago.  It's nice to see some of them finally get put to use.

I'm thinking these concrete barriers might have started life as corner protectors for my laptop I'm still using today, or perhaps a similar purchase.  

The Gnomish "Chimneysweeps" take security (and wanton corruption) very seriously.

Base colors were camo brown spray primer (my new favorite), Americana Desert Sand, American Bleached Sand, America Bright Orange and a Black for the metal reinforcements on top.  

Highlights are Army Painter Rust paint, and Huge Minis Rust Powder on the metal, and sponging Americana Desert Sand (the darker one) over most, with some lighter sponging with Ebony Black.  Basing is my own Mulligan's stew of various ballast and bits, and one of the few times I paint the base Desert Sand, to better blend into the cloth it will normally be used on.  

In the Queue: A special Gnome Wars project for Fall-In! is all that's left in my pre-con queue.  I'm going to enjoy that weekend and re-evaluate what's next.  Don't worry I'm still using  the plans I made less than a month ago to set up the queue.

Project 350: Maintaining.  513 (324/189) from 513 (325/188). It's always dangerous when a bunch of cool new ideas come around a week before a major con.  The scary thing is, anything that I do accomplish this upcoming week won't see the light of day on the blog until after Fall-In anyway...
