Painting Board Game Bits: Tzolk'in The Mayan Calendar Gears
Full disclaimer: I am very new to painting and this is just one of many possible ways you could paint these amazing Tzolk'in gears. Feel free to mix and match with paints/brushes/products you already have, and personalise the colour palette! If I can do it, you can do it! **Note that I didn't paint the very centre of the gears to ensure that the paint didn't jam up the turning mechanism.** Paints: Vallejo Black MSP Paints Bleached Linen Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Goldbrown Vallejo Game Extra Opaque Heavy Brown Vallejo Game Colour Turquiose Vallejo Game Colour Jade Green Vallejo Violet Citadel Contrast Blood Angels Red Citadel Layer Runefang Steel Other Materials: Army Painter: Basing - Battlefield Field Grass Tamiya Cement Glue Tweezers Brushes: Cheap brushes for priming Artis opus 2, 000 for line work Artis opus D for dry brushing Link to STL file I used for 3D printing monuments: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-print-mod...

Thanks for stopping by to watch this Painting Board Games Bits video! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience. Are you #teamthinker or #teamthemer? ❤🏳️🌈🇦🇺
