Free City of Gierburg

Gierburg is my current project and I'd like to share some of my scenery and terrain with you guys. You can follow the project on my blog. Hope you like it!

Some very attractive terrain there.
The posters are a nice touch, but just one minor criticism - the font looks too modern, more 1980 than 1680 if you get my drift.

Thanks, fastolfrus! Hmm... the font is that GW standard font they use in their books, Caslon Antique. I kinda liked it. However, if I do more posters I'll bear it in mind and use others, older looking ones. Thank you!

What a great town 

I recognise the Forgeworld stables, well and forge.
I also recognise the 'not the Forgeworld Inn'!
(However did the makers think they'd get away with such a blatant copy? I believe it's now off the market?)
But I don't recognise the second large building with the semicircular terrace / portico.
Is that from the same people that make the 'not the Forgeworld Inn'?

Cheers

Wow. Thank you all for the awesome response!

Very good spot, Captain! But I expected so much from an owner of the original.

Here is my blog post about the Inn. Fortunately someone told me where it is from. As if the stolen design wasn't enough - if you are familiar with the Mordheim scenery sprues, then you will even recognize the symbol/emblem on the building (lion's head) which is directly taken from there. I didn't add it - it was part of the resin building. Was pretty unbelievable to me too when I bought it off ebay. The sculptor also copied the Forge World well, by the way... The little company now claims they don't produce it anymore because of "casting issues"...

He he. No, that one if from Resina Planet. Check them out, they have a few very nice buildings and ruins (but make sure you properly wash the models before painting). Here is my blog post about the mansion with my not-always-fun experience.

My next building will be the Warhammer Forge from FW and after that I plan to buy the Blacksmith's Forge and Ruined Coaching Inn from Tabletop World.

Inspiring. I love the unity of the pieces. It looks alive.

Why are there little tick marks on the your miniature bases? what rules are you using?

They represent the facing. I am using my own set of skirmish rules.

The hoof prints by the water trough was a nice touch.  Awesome terrain.

I bet that Forge World stuff cost a pretty penny. It all looks beautiful though.

I think the Forge World prices are overrated, meaning: they are pretty alright. The quality of their stuff is really great and since the GBP dropped in favour of the EUR it's really not that expensive, I think. The Governor's Mansion was pretty hefty, though...
