After several years living in the depths of a box ...
« on: February 09, 2024, 03:01:46 PM »
Finally it was finished!

After selling several figs and buildings some weeks ago and after getting the wonderful Tabletop Workshop book from Michael I got back the desire (and the room) to build something new. The old west town needed a Sheriff's office and I found an old Snapdragon resin building in one of my nearly forgotten boxes. The Sheriff's new home came around the corner and it fitted perfectly. Too bad Snapdragon does not build anymore of these beauties  :'(

Here are some impressions of the building and painting process ... Hope you like it  ;)

Looks really good!

What was the tabletop workshop book you referred to in your post, please?

That building turned out very well! I also would be interested about which book inspired you - can always use more inspiration, and books…

Thank you very much for your kind words.
I talked about this book or bundle of books: https://www.miniaturicum.de/Bundle-How-to-build-Tabletop-Terrain-Gaming-Boards-and-Tools-Materials_1

I got them over a Kickstarter campaign and really like them very much. The second is in the works and will go live in near future. Highly recommended!

The building looks great, but those figures are fantastic!

Wow, that looks really good. Very impressive.

It's a shame that Snapdragon disappeared into the ether.

Many many thanks for all the kind words and the motivation.
 
At the moment I am planning something new, this time no „finished“ resin building but a building completely made of balsa wood again … it will last some time but it will fnish my Old West collection and I will post the updates in the forum  :)

By the way, for those who are interested and asked, the second book of the series about how to model terrain just went online on kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tabletopworkshop/how-to-build-tabletop-terrain-painting-and-vegetation?ref=user_menu) and when backing one can choose to get the other books too ... highly recommended and already funded.
