This is the second one I've done of these but this time not really any WIP photos so I'll just post up the finished article.

It's for 28mm and it's about 300mm square.

If anyone has any questions then just shout out

cheers

James

Darned nice!

What are the roofs made of? Just cardboard?

That is so good. Ditto on the roof.

Beautiful work! well done

Thankyou kindly gents

The roofs are a Japanese tile sheet that I have cast up stuck on a simple frame that follows the shape of the roof gable and that frame slots into the building. Fortunately the resin isn't 100% rigid so it can follow shallow curves but there is a fair amount of glue on the frame just to make sure. The ridge line is styrene with the ridge tiles marked on with a scalpel.

cheers

Lovely stuff again Jim!

Its all those lovely wee touches you use to finish your model I like the best! The grass/moss into the crevices of the buildings, the wood piles and the different textures you use!!

Any chance of a breakdown on your method of painting the wood on the tower?

Superb!

I like the way it's open enough to actially use as a gaming piece. So many of these very lovely buildings we see on this forum are impractical for gaming- dolls houses really. Yours is beautiful and practical. Well done.
