While at Aire Con, one of the stalls had a sale on Wiz Kids Deep Cutz figures. So barrels and a desk just had to be bought to replace the cardboard tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-275\" width=\"310\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name.png 800w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name-640x640.png 640w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-barrels-name-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These were quite straight forward to paint. A simple base layer, then a wash, and finally details were painted on. I wanted to give the impression that these barrels were old<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The desk and chair took a bit more work, as a variety of colours were involved. I do like how the models have so much detail that the wash really highlights the wood grain in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276\" width=\"392\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name.png 800w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name-300x300.png 300w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name-768x768.png 768w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name-640x640.png 640w, http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/lotr-desk-and-chair-name-60x60.png 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 100vw, 392px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> Painting these miniatures does increase my knowledge of techniques, and these are transferable to crafting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve probably guessed by now that I love playing the &#8216;Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth&#8217; board game, and I am always looking &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[127,128,113,4,126],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=274"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":277,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274\/revisions\/277"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/serendipityfinchcrafts.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
