Author Topic: Don's Border Reivers in 40mm (Read 11283 times)

Found a lot of 40mm Perry Border Reivers in my mountain of lead....

I checked through the stuff and I think I have enough for a small skirmish multiplayer: 4 players each 8-10 minis....

Glued a few of the minis together and added some greenstuff.

The minis are really cool...okay I am kind of a Perry-Fan ....

After the initial thoughts I realised, that I needed some 40mm Scenery....

28mm houses are too small.

So I builded a sabbot base...

...splashed some paint on it.

Oh...and then I realized that I needed some stock to grab for the reivers.
So I started to build something myself from Fimo.

Added a little greenstuff...

Okay, looks a little like primitive art...

The project will be more of a slow burner, so do not expect too frequent updates....

Cheers,
Don

Very nicely done. The cows are a triumph.

Thanx, Malamute....

Okay, I started a Bastle House for my reivers to conquer or to hide in. In the great tradition of Jimbibbly....

Made a few little WIP pics. Everything handmade with a cutter....

Squeezed the stone in my hands to get them more round.

And than builded like Bob the Builder...

To get to the firstfloor I need a ladder.

In the morning I started putting some paint on the roof...

Here you can see the interior.

Hope to get some paint on it in the evening.

Cheers,
Don

Thanx gents....for all the nice comments.

Todays update is just a few strokes for the house.

Pretty cool is, that you can just take one partof the building and you have a decent farn house....

Cheers,
Don

Excellent! Putting the stones one by one makes it look very realistic!
Inspiring! Congratulations!
