I'm eager to continue playtesting my sci-fi tank game, especially with proper terrain and miniatures. To that end I've been back to scratchbuilding and tonight I finally finished the squinch dome I started
some time ago.
I'm pleased with the structure itself, especially the high-tech walls, but not my paint job. Looking on the finished product, I should have went with a bright yellow for the dome and squinches, not green. As you can see from the third picture, I was going for a dazzle camouflage pattern on the arches, but with the white and black it ended up looking like a Holstein cow. So I abandoned that attempt and instead switched to painting panel lines, which I think turned out surprisingly effective. Still, I think next time I will carve the panel lines in the arches.
The building may look silly on my table-top with its garish color scheme, but I learned a lot of great techniques that I can use to mass produce similar buildings. That'll give me plenty of practice at painting.
