I decided to make some terrain for sci-fi settings. I chose a gray for moons/asteroids/planets. Of course it could be post apocalyptic too. The light varies in the pictures so the main color might vary between pictures.

Here I am painting the back of a table cloth with house paint. The table cloth is 8.5' x 5' and is the kind that is vinyl on the top side, soft fuzz on the bottom side. You paint the soft side. It takes a lot of paint. I painted it in the driveway while using drop cloths to protect the payment.

You want unevenness in the painting. I randomly threw in some lighter grays.

Here it is done. I sprayed some random areas with black spray paint.


Next I worked on some rocks.

Cutting pieces off of a sheet of Styrofoam to make random shapes.


I cut several grooves and indentions into the pieces.


Next is painting.

I used the same house paint gray for the main color. First some black into the recessed areas.

Then paint with the main color gray while the black is still wet and do some blending.

Then blend in a lighter gray.

Then dry brush.


All done.

Here is a couple pictures from the first game using it. The game is Tomorrow's War (second edition).
