Painting Walls and Floors For Stryfell Studios Sample Pack
I can honestly say that painting terrain is not my forte. For as much as I am enjoying designing terrain, I'm the exact opposite when it comes to painting. I watched a few YouTube videos and settled on a paint scheme that looks decent which I will be using initially for the Stryfell Studios Sample Pack. I do have an airbrush which I use to prime the pieces. I'm not an airbrush expert, having only used it half a dozen times before now and it took me the better part of a day to setup, prime, and paint a myriad of terrain pieces. I have an inexpensive airbrush and box which I keep in the closet and bring out when I need it.

I primed everything using Vellejo Ghost Grey which turned out to be a mistake. The color is way too light, even lighter than the cool grey PLA the pieces are printed with.

I ended up hand painting all the primed pieces which I really wanted to avoid. For walls, I used Army Painter dungeon grey for the base paint. I then used Vallejo cold grey and Vallejo chocolate brown for select bricks. I just picked a dark brown I already had. Finally, all the walls were drybrushed with Vallejo stonewall grey.

For the floors, I went with all the same colors except one change. For the base paint, I used the same Army Painter dungeon grey. For select bricks, I went with the same Vallejo cold grey but used Army Painter ash grey instead of the brown I used on the walls. I used the same Vallejo stonewall grey to drybrush the floors.

After realizing the mistake with the airbrush color, I did order some Army Painter airbrush medium (thinner and flow improver) so I can use the dungeon grey in the airbrush. Until that shows up next week, I'll be painting the pieces by hand.
