Here's a quick way I painted it up. 1. Prime black 2. Heavy dry brush of Rakarth Flesh(old Dehenb Stone). I mean really heavy. Leaving deep cracks black 3. Wash with Nuln Oil 4. Dry brush again with Rakarth Flesh 4. Now a light Dry brush with White Here is a battle pic with some of the ruins in it as an example. It's a little dark in the picture, but that's due to lighting in my basement.  Hope this helps. |

Stores that sell spray paint, sell a product that leaves a stone finish on the painted surface. It comes in a bunch of different colors. Krylon, Valspar, Rustoleum and American Accents all make some variation of it. Spray the ruins and then wash with whatever you like. Works a treat and the ruins really look like stone. |

So all I have to do is that? Cool. |

Xintao gave you sound advice.  I am afraid I can not recommend the spray on rock.  The texture is not to scale. The spray rock paint is too thick and lumpy for 28 mm buildings. I used different colors than Xinto but the principle is the same. A dark base color dry brushed with lighter earth colors.  The light colored buildings were painted the same way. Tan paint was the base color instead of black. The top color was Ivory then white. |

Well, Willow perhaps you didn't shake the can enough. Or let it heat up. When using spray paint, I find that it is best to run hot water from the tap over the can for a few minutes. This allows the paint to flow more evenly and to create a finer mist. It also helps to spray about 18 inches away from the subject to allow an even coating. I used it on my ruins and they came out to my satisfaction. Some quick washes and some vines and they are ready to go. To each his own, I guess. |
