Painting Castle Tile Walls
We are almost done! We have the castle tiles all crafted and just need to paint them. You can’t use spray paint or the chemicals will eat into your foam. You have to paint them by hand, but don’t worry, this is the easiest part!
Materials
- Acrylic paint
- Other standard art supplies like paintbrushes
Directions
1. Use slightly watered-down, gray acrylic paint to paint the foam walls on the outside of your castle tiles. Make sure the gray paint runs in all the little cracks, so it will look like grout or mortar.
2. Wait for the gray paint to completely dry. Use a slightly darker gray paint to pick out some of the bricks for variety. Subtle is good.
3. Wait for the darker gray bricks to thoroughly dry. Use a stiff brush and just add a touch of white paint to accent some of the bricks.
You are done at last! You have fabulous castle tiles to use in your next gaming session. Your players will be so impressed by your handiwork.
