The bank holiday weekend saw me experiment with painting one of the barrels that was printed for me by a friend. Plus an attempt to paint the piles of chains that came with the cage I bought.

The end result for the barrel I’m very happy with. The metal was painted with Runefang Steel, and the wood with Mournfang Brown. Then a mild brown wash applied. The groves in the wood didn’t come out dark enough for my liking. So I applied a second layer of the wash just to those groves. Which gave me a result I was more happy with. I do like how the wash gave the metal a rusted/copper look.

The chains are ok. And will do. For those I used the Runefang Steel again, and then a dark tone wash.

I also started a couple of chests, that I think need the wash applying again to darken the groves more.

Now to do the other barrels I have printed.
