A Couple of Plastic Cottages

[Mason]

Lovely buildings with great colour choices.

Looks like you got Tango'ed over at TMP http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=529376

Agree with the others, great painting.

Thank you guys.

Yeah, I am blocked on TMP but Tango makes sure I get traffic from there.

Wire LIzard: TW are now sold through Warlord Games (link).  Not sure if they own the moulds or bought the company outright but they seem to have them in stock or at the very least the ability to turn them out: "While we hold as much stock as possible, on occasion this product may need to be cast...".
Is it the Medieval Cottage you have? Great daub texture and the thatch roof is excellent.

Cool. Interesting that a Google search doesn't show up a link to the Warlord site, at least not that I saw.

I've got the Renedra Wattle & Daub Outbuilding: https://www.renedra.co.uk/product.php?product=276

Neat little building, some nice wattle details I probably wouldn't have created myself if I was scratchbuilding something like this. The roof is pretty good. I've got mine based and mostly painted; need to finish the thatch roof and get some photos up on the blog.

Not just me, then! (I got my account there suspended by Billy the Weirdo after I criticized his weird fundraising email and habit of picking public fights with former advertisers....)

I got blocked for making a snide comment in a thread about one such fight!

While waiting for my new toys to arrive I dug into my plastic stash and put together another Renedra Ramshackle Barn.

I added a thatch roof, my first attempt using fake fur. I also stole Silent Invader's inspiration (check out his brilliant thread here if you haven't already done so) and made my own pinfold using the wattle fence that came with the Perry Miniatures cottage.


More pictures and such on my blog.

Those both look fantastic. The thatch roof looks really believable

[Wirelizard]

Looking great, both the barn and the pinfold. That might be the best looking thatch I've seen recently, too, with the moss and grime.

Regarding your comment on mailbox-watching for a Warlord order (on your blog post), trans-Atlantic small package shipping is utterly FUBAR'd these days, I assume because so few passenger flights are crossing the Atlantic. I made orders to Brigade and Bad Squiddo on the same day a while ago and both took 5-6 weeks to get to me where I'd normally expect 6-10 calendar days transit time. It's not quite as bad as old school surface mail, but nearly so...

Lovely progress 

[Captain Blood]

That has turned out really well.
One of the better Renedra offerings methinks, greatly assisted by your scenic additions and the thatching.

Thank you for the compliments guys, I appreciate you taking the time to check my blog as well.

Yeah... I have a number of orders "in the post". One from Fenris that I made late January...

[syrinx0]

I have an order from February from California to Illinois.  Still lost in transit after leaving CA.  The world shipping might be in a tizzy but after years of effort the sabotage of the US post service is nearly complete.

Nicely done

You know I like that cottage

As ever, hats off sir! And great blog post too!
