Church on the Moor update - 12 Jul

[Argonor]

Looking GOOD! 

I REALLY should embark on such ventures myself - if I only could find the time... 

[Sheerluck Holmes]

I have done a bit more work on this - no photos as yet... more to come after this weekend (with any luck... depends on how much World Cup catch up sleep I get  )

I have done a little bit more work on the church over the weekend. I have added the roof sections, put the rear entrance on the other side, and done most of the work on the bell tower.

 I just need to add more bricks to the corners, some window edging, the roof tiles and a little bit of work on the doors. 

 Once all this has been done I will complete the painting.

 The work on the roof will take a little bit of effort, but I think it will be worth it in the end.

WoW! Now I wanna build a church! And a steeple...open the doors and see all the fishy people!

I love it.  Especially since I don't have the grapefruits to attempt such a project.  I can almost see the Dagonites swaying and chanting inside...

[Christian]

I'm really enjoying this project! Keep it up!

I have finished the church. I would have liked to have weathered it like the one I based the model on, but I am unsure how to do that.









This last photo makes the back half of the building look a bit crooked, but that was the angle I took the photo 

I also made the trees.

 The cultist is an Eureka Miniatures figure.

Next for this project I have some tomb stones to form the graveyard (these are in the mail) and I am contemplating making a stone wall fence with gates.

This is quite a fine house for the lord. I really like it and the fact that it is scatch built according to an actual church. A great job!

Depending on how you want it weathered you can;

- Really water down acrylic paint, paint it on a section and then dab it off with a rough cloth, leaving behind ugly splotches and marks. Drybrush light touches on all the edges. Do this with a couple colours, darker ones more prevalent on the bottom, lighter ones more prevalent towards the tops of the walls to get a nice dirty gradient.

- Stain it with tea.

- Literally throw clods of dirt and mud at it to try and stain the paper, drybrush some highlights.

Regardless try all these out on scraps first before trying them on your beautiful model.

Cheers for the advice - I will try a few different things and see what I can come up with

I have just finished making a small grave yard for the church grounds:



The dog is one I modified a few years ago for a zombie game, and it seemed to fit in here as well.

 The tombstones are Mega Minis and I think I need to order more, as there just aren't enough for my graveyard.
