Models and Terrain for an arid environment

[Wasteland]

Winter has hit Germany in the new year really hard. So I am going to a warmer place to build and paint a couple of models. These ten Highway Bases (40 mm) from Micro Arts have been finished today:

January was a bit slow due to lack of sufficient sunlight to keep me motivated in the evening hours. Lets hope I will fare better in February. I will also switch to some post-apocalyptic minis next and we will see the next trio of momma ogryns at the end of February on my painting table. At first I wanted to buy thirty of them although it became apparent that they take some time to paint. So I am glad to not have overcommitted. Nine of them are good enough for some fun skirmish games.

Update:
Just a preview of what´s coming next in more detail:

1. Crazy Mel.
2. Nuka Girl.
3. Grognak.
4. Fallout Terminals.
5. Highway Bases [25 mm] from Micro Arts.

I just have taken them out of the blisters and thrown them in a bubbly bath. And that´s all for now. In a couple of hours I will remove them and wash them with water to let them dry over night.

Update:
Three models have been primed and glued onto the bases. Two of them received even two paints. Nuka Girl is going to be painted last because she will be a more brighter model. I could have powered through today and finished Crazy Mel but I was too lazy. Such is life. Anyway, here are the pics:

I couldn't glue unpainted models to painted bases, I would definitely mess up the bases whilst painting the model.

Nice model honestly. The dog even had genitalia (Pic B). This is not necessarily a selling point but still a dedication to detail. He should be glad that I am not beyond 50 yet as maybe I would have mistaken it for a mould line by then...

In regards to Crazy Mel in more detail:
I really appreciated that there was a choice of heads. Painting faces always takes a lot of time and troubleshooting often follows when I make pics. In Fallout 3 the legendary sawed-off shotgun was my favourite weapon. So this model being equipped with it is a big plus.

Both male models were hit with two paints before being glued to the base. And their footwear would only be highlighted once with a single lighter brown tone. The woman in question is mostly standing on a sculpted stone surface attached to her so any spill over from the boots will land there. In addition her boots will be black and with some of her base being a dark asphalt it won´t be too difficult to avoid egregious mistakes.
