As I mentioned before, I want to add some terrain pieces to my display board. I’ve bought Promethium Relay Pipes and a Manufactorum. By now I’ve started painting the pipes, which will also serve as test pieces for the paint scheme I have in mind for the buildings.
I wanted to go for a dark, muted red with a metallic sheen. I’ve picked out some details with dark grey and brass, but didn’t paint every detail in the same way that I would have painted a miniature. It’s just terrain after all, it shouldn’t steal the show from my paint jobs. Plus I want to get these pieces ready as fast as possible, so I can go back to painting actual models. I can always add more details later.
What do you think? Would you like to see a tutorial for this paint scheme?

Maybe it's thing of personal flavour but my first thought was: "Hey it's basecoated and Stahly will take us through the rest…oh wait"
I totally agree with you about the stealing the show thing but it's red! Unless you have a martian surface, this thing will pop into everyones eyes on its own 😉 I prefer picking out some things (e.g. the mounts here) that break the painting schema. The really small metallic-Parts don't draw much attention and look (almost) the same as the rest.
I dont't want to critisize your work, but in my opinion it could take some more metal part as contrast
Sounds like a yes to the question on tutorial then 🙂
Alright, I see what I can do when I replicate this paint scheme for the Manufactorum.
I would love to see a tutorial for this as I have some pipes to paint up and had in mind exactly this sort of scheme…
Tutorials would be awesome. ^.^
I'd love to see how you painted those up. I'd love mine to look like that.
We always want to see your tutorials 🙂
Which upon closer examination of the photo is close to your "quick" pipes there.
Myself thinks the painting on my terrain models is up to par with the rest. 😉
