Thatched Roof Huts
« on: April 05, 2019, 07:37:51 PM »
I managed to get some terrain knocked out this week in the form of two thatched roof buildings.  I had experimented with several forms of thatching and wasn't happy with any of them.  Then I tried an old worn out washcloth that my wife didn't notice.  I think it turned out OK.  The buildings are from Red Vectors and the painting instructions came from Things from the Basement (who also make really nice buildings).



I still have four more buildings from this set that I need to get cracking on. Hopefully I will get some more progress.

I finished a couple more buildings over the weekend.



Just one more Red Vector's building to go.
