9 : First Colour

I textured and painted some sample tiles as paving-stone areas for the Garrison courtyard.

I used some 100mm-square tiles from the Terrain Tiles range.

The tiles have paving slabs cut with scissors from thin card. These were textured with a glue and grout paste. The ground was then covered with sand and some turf foam material was added after painting.

I did these tiles for the Garrison courtyard but they will be very usable for other setups! The style is pretty rough for a Parisian street. It’s more like the BBC stage set that just hints at paving with the odd paving slab. I think it makes the tiles more useful for other urban and rural settings.

One great thing about the Terrain Tiles is that their construction allows paint and washes to be generously applied without fear of warping.
