Thanks!

So, I’ve been quiet as I’m knee deep trying to finish these Total Battle Miniatures buildings.

They are great models, and I’m a big fan of resin buildings....but I hate painting anything bigger than a mini!  Still...very much work in progress, but I can now see where I’m going with them....hopefully another few days....






And, I’ve been putting wire on the stands.  Need a little more to do the fourth yet.

Cheers Mac....still a way to go yet.   I thin’ part of it is I get bored easily, but also, I find it hard to replicate schemes I’ve seen others do and it frustrates me greatly!  :?

They look spanking  :-*

We all get bored easily - it’s why we flit, butterfly-like, from project to project lol

They will look even better when they have lots of tanks & infantry around them.

Cheers guys, appreciate the feedback!

So, I need to clear the kitchen tonight for painting tomorrow so forced my hand to finish these buildings.

I’ve not done much with the interiors yet...I will save that for another time....and I’m sure there will be a few snags with this, but pretty much finished and ready to game over!

The wash on top of the lean too is drying hence a bit shiny in the picture.

Cheers Mac.  Still have another half timbered house to do some time and in the future, I’d like to buy their chateau, cafe and perhaps church.  But there is no rush for them.  Jamie has half a dozen laser cut houses which match in easily enough.

We have talked of extending this to cover Normandy....hence no snow....but that can be sprinkled on. 

I need ideas on other scenic bits to add.  Also, if anyone can point me at other Western European buildings in resin ( can’t afford Grand Manner) I’d appreciate it.....ta
