I have constructed a series of smaller
houses to assemble as a hamlet for our DBA 3.0 games, but wanted to build
something that could represent commercial activity, a town.
Photo one, shows the pink foam board cut into
rough form; structure body is separate from the gable roof. These were glued
together and given an undercoat.
With a hard pencil, I sketched the timber
frame, windows and doors and in some cases stonework. Painting the windows
first, I followed with grey for all the stone work, and for the larger areas, I
offset this by using pastel colour. With
a steady brush stroke, I painted the timber frame and highlighted were needed.
The embossed roofing is from Vollmer.
Completed structures were paired, glued to
their bases, groundwork applied, painted and flocked.
Total time to complete, one day.
Cheers,
Good work! Are they 15mm scale?
ReplyDeleteThe French column of OG15s are placed to give you a sense of scale.
