The Alien Drinking Hole is painted in a purple with red accept scheme. Base coat was first a spray of black paint, then a spray of purple paint. The rough ribbed base dry brushed easily, taking coats of paint with little effort. As usual, I had a bit of trouble with highlights. First efforts were done with purple mixed with bleach bone, but I was left with an underwhelming pasty color. At that point, I added red as an accent & pounded on the high lights to bring the eye up the body of the terrain. Final touch is a bit of two part water effect in the basin to add the “drinking” portion of the “hole.” The water effect is tinted with a bit of orange, but the ink effect is very minimal.

Icky, I don’t want it to touch me. Congratulations, it is a successful model!!

Unrelated, but inspired by your creation…
Do you have any recommendations for building a field of giant mushrooms for roleplaying, in the 25-28mm range? I’m contemplating doing a large cavern and would like to add a small section of mushrooms too one side for effect.
Thanks.

Most of the techniques used with the drinking hole will also work for mushrooms. Apoxie sculpt is a good product to use for a low detail terain project. Do you make molds? I think a two part mold would be the best way to go inorder to capture the curvy nature of mushrooms.
Evil Bob’s has a line of mushrooms that are a good source of inspiration for this sort of project. http://shop.evilbobs.biz/product.sc?productId=140
