Normandy Chapel and Barn - Completed

Thanks guys.

I just need to finish the basing and add some details

Great job, especially on the stone work!

Love the buildings.  My only comment would be on the roof tiles.  They look perfect for a fantasy setting with a brilliant oldhammer vibe I just question the look for Chain of Command.  How do they look with troops on the board?  If you compare it to the inspiration picture you can see the tiles are much much smaller.  Would some Slaters plasticard convey an impression of a bigger building?

Yeah I agree, I'm thinking of redoing them. I will try and copy the tiles in the photo of the chapel at the beginning of this thread and the brown colour looks better. I can always reuse the roof for fantasy.

Excellent work on the stone work, and all the little details really bring it to life.

I do agree with the comments on the roof - it doesn't match the walls. Hopefully you will be able to do another and reuse this roof - as its a good roof, it just doesn't go with the building.

Thanks

Progress has taken a turn on this with the start of some new roofs!

I'm using smaller tiles and trying to make the more regular. I plan to paint the roofs brown (like in the photo at the top of this thread). This is very time consuming cutting and gluing the tiles but hopefully they will be finished in a day or so








Also I painted up some accessories for the buildings

Better roof. and betterer accessories - god gawd they're tiny.

They are 1/72 scale although the gravestones are 28mm ones from Renedra.

[von Lucky]

Awkward moment. I only painted the same gravestones two months ago...

Looks great! Roof scale is spot on!

I've slowed down a bit on this as it is summer here in NZ and actually nice and hot!

The roofs are finished and it took longer than hoped to cut up all the tiles!

You can also see the basing is done but more on that later.





I changed the style of the barn roof so it fits inside the stone walls now. There is still some work to do, to make it fit well





Onto the final steps of painting the roof and fixing up the barn a little.

That’s a cracking build! I can’t wait to see it painted!

...and btw.....no need to rub it in. Here in Blighty it’s cold and damp!

[6mmfan]

Lol - after a couple of crap summers I feel the need.

Hi all

The chapel is completed with a new roof and the basing done. I'm very pleased with the new roof and it looks much more like the photo of the actual chapel I based it on.

I painted the roof various craft paint browns and gave it repeated drybrushes (perhaps too heavy but it stands out), and then glued some Woodlands Scenics burnt grass onto the roof to represent moss

The base was 3mm mdf and I added a couple of Renedra cross and one made from sprue. The broken wall is made from foamboard with the gate and railings from Gamecraft, and the post from a model railway shop.





More soon on the barn

[von Lucky]

Love it - you've done a good job.
