Title: Plancenoit buildings for our Waterloo game (Update 25.10. Finish!)
Post by: Admiral Benbow on August 30, 2015, 01:10:58 PM: As every year it's about time for some special terrain features for our upcoming game at the Crisis show in Antwerp in November. This year we'll have a Waterloo anniversary game with focus on the prussian relief attack on the belgian village Plancenoit which led to the final defeat of Napoleon in the end. My club mates did a deep research into the archives to create a historically correct plan of the small town while keeping playability in mind. My part will be to create one of the most iconic scenes of that attack into miniature buildings, the famous painting "The prussians storm on Plancenoit" by Adolf Northern from 1864:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_35_40.jpg)

It's a dramatic scene with two buildings framing the storming prussian troops. The one on the right is nicely detailed and I'll try to create most of the details shown, and the left one will leave much more artistic freedom as there is only the ruined annex shown and not much of the building itself.

So where to start? How to get proportions right, and how to come to some useful measurements? I started to scan the web for contemporary drawings and pictures of similar buildings from the area and found quite some useful stuff. I was even more lucky as the US company "First Legion" did those exact buildings from the painting for their 54 mm range of historical miniatures for collectors. Some of their pics were downloaded and then printed and I could start some exact measuring and calculating to find a ratio to transfer the main features of the buildings to about 1/60 scale.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_15_27_3.jpg)

My drawings were transfered to 5 mm foamboard (Styrodur) and cut out. The gable walls were cut from 3 mm material as they must be sandwiched from two parts to get a supporting frame for the roof. All parts were only fixed with needles during this stage of the modelling, not glued together.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_15_27_0.jpg)

As you can see some pieces of plastic brickwork were glued into pre-cut slots where the plaster would be chipped and brickwork visible. I used I used WILLS 00 scenic materials plain bond brickwork for this as it's very niceley cut and modelled and superior to other brands for my taste.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_13_56_4.jpg)

I scribed a wooden floor into a thin piece of balsa, glued it to the house's floor and painted it with some dark acrylic stain. The inner walls got a coat of thinned down plaster-with-paint-mix as they would not be easily accessible when glued together, and some nicely laser-cut windows from Andy Slater had been prepainted and glued into the openings now. Then all walls and the floor could be glued together, fixed with needles again and left to dry thoroughly.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_13_56_0.jpg)

The last two pics already show the removable attic floor I build from wood strips. The model will be fully accessible later for placing miniatures inside firing out of the windows and from the roof openings.

Title: Re: Plancenoit buildings for our Waterloo game (Upd. 12.09.)
Post by: Admiral Benbow on September 12, 2015, 09:24:32 PM: In the meantime ... I started the roof construction from 0.8 mm plywood. This material is thin enough to be cut by knife but stiff enough to hold it's form and bear some handling. On the other hand it's nearly impossible to bend it. So although I tried to get the roof as precise as possible into the gable recesses, the roof always rebound some millimeters and wouldn't fit snugly. So for further steps the thing was fixed to the house with tape and the openings for three dormers were cut out, the dormer parts cut from the same material. On the opposite roof half some openings were cut for the destroyed areas.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_12_15_3.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_30_08_15_1_12_14_0.jpg)

From the back some fine strips were added showing some roof beams and pantile supports in the destroyed areas. As I glued a resin chimney in at this stage, I used it to fix the rebounding roof problem and glued a power magnet into it's bottom and into the attic floor. And it worked.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_12_09_15_9_38_38_2.jpg)

When the dormers were in place and the glue had dried, they were clad with thin woodstrips.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_12_09_15_9_40_41_0.jpg)

I also started the second building with it's large lean-to you can see prominently in Northern's painting where the Garde is fighting the prussians valiantly. I sandwitched pieces of foamboard with plastic brickwork sheets. They will get some plaster later. For the floor I used plastic cobblestone sheeting from Wills.

Title: Re: Plancenoit buildings for our Waterloo game (Update 14.09.)
Post by: Admiral Benbow on September 14, 2015, 06:27:13 PM: The second building would be a two-storey one with a large lean-to on one side. It will also be much more destroyed than the first one. Due to several attacks of the Prussians that day following heavy artillery bombardment most of the village buildings were nearly completely destroyed by cannon balls and fire. The Northern painting does only show the lean-to and not the building itself, but you can guess it must be a two-storey one as a gable wall is visible behind the lean-to. For the building itself I was guided again by the "First Legion" model.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_14_09_15_6_52_22_4.jpg)

As you can see basic construction is similar to the first building. The most time-consuming part for me is always the exact measuring and basic cutting of all the pieces and getting all the angles correct for later roofing. For the roof I had planned to use some laser-cut roof-beams from Stronghold Terrain, so I needed to follow their basic dimensions. This time not everything run smoothly as I had to cut the four pieces for the gables two times due to wrong measuring. :?

After painting all interiour walls and giving the brickwork a basic dark red foundation the walls could be glued together around a prepared planked floor. The first floor was cut from balsa wood and strips again, much more destroyed as before.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/22/93_14_09_15_6_52_21_3.jpg)

As I had the wood strips out, roof construction for the lean-to could be done also. A very delicate affair as everything would have to fit into the small wall complex and would have the correct spacings to provide the support structure for the roofing tiles I want to add later.

The walls of the lean-to had been plastered already and everything went together quite nicely in the end.

Title: Re: Plancenoit buildings for our Waterloo game (Update 24.09. roofs)
Post by: Admiral Benbow on September 24, 2015, 07:44:41 PM: For the first building I did the roof myself using plywood and paper shingles, but the roof of the second and much more destroyed house should be more detailed, so I choose to use new materials from Stronghold Terrain. They are working on a series of first-class ruin sets for WW2 due to be released in the near future (have a look at their Facebook page). I managed to get the laser-cut roof beam set and some of the terracotta shingles.

The roof beam set is a very nice laser-cut kit to construct 9 girders and enough battens to connect them all. But - it's for sure not for the faint-heartet. You need to plan from the start for this set to fit on a building, and you need much endurance to get it properly finished. Most time-consuming is the fitting of the battens.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_02_02_1.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_02_02_0.jpg)

As you see the girders were exactly aligned on the grid of a cutting mat and then fixed with small strips of tape. I would not recommend to try this in situ on the building. To fix all girders into position a ridge pole was cut from balsa and notched to take all girders. This was then glued with wood glue and hold into position for some time to let the glue set but not harden completely.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_01_13_4.jpg)

A couple of battens were then also glued into position to give the construction even more strength. Another three roof beams from balsa were then glued under this construct which will in the end give enough strengh to let evrything harden completely. As I said, I would not recommend this for a beginner ...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_01_13_3.jpg)

And yes, you have to build a complete and intact roof construction first to destroy it afterwards brutally. 8) I don't think it would have been possible to do the destroyed version from the start. At this time a lot of materials and things had piled up on my working table:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_01_13_2.jpg)

The small lean-to had got its terracotta shingles.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_01_13_1.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_24_09_15_8_01_13_0.jpg)

A very nice and realistic looking product which doesn't need any painting in my eyes, but you must plan and work even more precise than with the roof materials. The battens have to be positioned extremely accurate to get the correct spacing for the single terracotta shingles and to allow for a firm positioning of all the rows. In the end I like the effect very much.

:)

Stronghold Terrain have some teaser pics of their upcoming WW2 ruin sets on their Facebook page. They will release the ruins, the laser-cut roofs and the terracotta shingles through the next weeks. https://www.facebook.com/Stronghold-Terrain-231373353622159/timeline/ (https://www.facebook.com/Stronghold-Terrain-231373353622159/timeline/)

Hey Andy, thanks for the nice words! The shingles come in strips of 5, 4, 3, 2 and singles. But the connections on the strips are so brittle that most of the shingles come apart when you're handling them. I would recommend this stuff as it's quite cheap also. Drop the guys Elmar or Mirco a line on their homepage and maybe you're lucky and they will send you some over even before release ... http://stronghold-terrain.de/ (http://stronghold-terrain.de/)

Not sure what you mean? I built a wooden support structure (see pics above), measured the shingles and spaces of the battens precisely and glued the shingles on with white glue. So everything is here already, I think.

Post by: Admiral Benbow on October 17, 2015, 06:13:41 PM: Time for an update. All construction is done in the meantime, roofs shingled, detail parts finished, all is left is painting and weathering.

Getting the shingles on the roofs was most time consuming as usual. I used some stiff rough card called "Elefantenhaut" in Germany which provides a nice structure. The small building got single shingles, for the larger one I used strips of card nicked with scissors. For basic colouring I used Ral Partha Dragon Scale Blue with a few drops of Vellejo dark grey surface primer mixed in to darken it a bit more. Some ink washes and drybrushing will follow shortly.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_17_10_15_6_50_51_4.jpg)

The house walls were plastered on the outside too and will get some light sanding and two highlights. Of course all the brickwork must be properly painted as well.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_17_10_15_6_50_51_3.jpg)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_17_10_15_6_50_50_2.jpg)

Doors were cut from balsa, detailed and painted and on the right is shown the destroyed door with green stuff mattress like in the Northern painting.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/23/93_17_10_15_6_50_50_1.jpg)

Last but the most tiring stuff: 36 window shutters from strip styrene. They will get a wash and some highlighting as well.

Your use of indented brickwork in the builds is very snazzy.

But my favourite element would be the mattress through the door. 8) :-* 8) It's perfect 8)

Post by: Gonvalon on October 27, 2015, 11:31:40 PM: Thanks Malamute and Monty. But the miniatures are not painted by my own ... :'( These are comissions by the very talentet Paul Armer.
I thought about opening an own post about the Young Guard on the march to Plancenoit.
When I find time to do the pictures you will find it under: Age of Big Battaillons.
