15mm Mordheim style buildings project

[Relic]

Hey,

I've been painting some 15mm figures for SoB&H and 15mm mordheim gaming and now I need some buildings. I bought some Depron style insulation foam sheets 3mm thick and started to draw some plans.

I carved the details straight to the foam which I found a little tricky. I am still learning and trying to find the right tools so if you have any tips how to smooth the sheet and bring the details out better let me know. I am now using hobby knifes backside to mark the details and then I use the round end to level down the needed surfaces to bring the wooden and brick surfaces up.

So this is what I have done for now( only 1 part of the house and it took 3 hours 



it can clearly be seen that the surface needs to be worked on still. I have done some joints to the wood etc. and also pushed some of the rocks down to make it more 3D. So do you think I am doing this right and should keep on doing ?

cheers

Three hours!, you're a very patience person!

You might find you get faster as you go along, at least finish this one before you decide wetter or not its worth it! Something you might try is pressing a rough stone against the stonework to give it more texture, works with green stuff.

Nice job but that's really time consuming.

A rough ball of aluminum foil works well for texturing foam too. Try on a scrap first to see if you like the effect. You can vary the texture by how tightly you roll the foil into a ball.

Yea the consumed time for this is a little too much but I noticed that I made the following walls a lot faster. Only 1 hour needed per wall. That tin foil idea is great! never thought of that. I will give it a try

actually, i also made some stuff in 15mm, i think you just need to get pratice to this: i think that you can make awhole house (not the roof included) in 1 hour, and for the roof i'm making the tiles (for you ) at the moment... just patience and training, that's the best way!

that's a great start, keep going!
