About product

Wood and metal on one weapon

The haft of an axe, the stock of a crossbow or the shaft of a halberd almost always meets a metal head, and it is exactly this transition that tends to be the worst handled on a figure. This set of eight Game Color shades covers both sides at once, warm browns for the wood and two metal tones for the blade and the fittings. It therefore deals with the whole object at once, not just one half of it.

How the shades are laid out

A dirty brown serves as the base for the wood, while a warmer brown tone and sienna over it draw in the growth rings and the worn areas. The pair of rusts distinguishes damp from dried corrosion, so it can be graded by how long the weapon lay without care. The silver suits a sharpened edge, the dark metal the head. The black glaze ties the whole together and pulls into the grooves, so that a roughly carved texture finally shows.

Tips for a convincing result

  • Lay the rust where water would run down, that is, under the fitted edge and by the rivets.
  • Polish the edge only at the end and only in a narrow strip, otherwise the blade flattens visually.
  • Do not seal the wood with gloss varnish; a matte surface keeps the impression of a worn haft.
  • Do not hesitate to carry the sienna over to leather webbing too; it ties the weapon to the figure's gear.

The palette is not tied to fantasy alone. The same shades will do on tools stowed on a vehicle fender, on wooden crates and on the beams of a half-built building in a diorama. On larger areas it pays to bring the base brown to life with two coats thinned differently, because perfectly evenly painted wood looks like plastic.

FAQ

Eight bottles. Four brown and rust tones for wood and corrosion, two metal shades and a glaze that ties the whole together.

Yes. The dark metal and the black glaze work on holsters and barrels just as well as on a medieval blade; you simply leave out the rust tones.

A base helps mainly on resin and etched parts. On plastic a thin coat of the darkest brown is enough, and the texture is then built on that.
