Hi, guys! Tom has painted another mini for the Gierburg project.

Me, I am currently putting the finishing touches on the Old Glory Brigantine for my Legends of the High Seas games, so it will be a little until the next building.

I recently did a test piece for a streets section out of foamboard. I am not satisfied with the result and will look into using something else, still I thought why not put the pics up here. What do you think?

[Captain Blood]

I think you are being very picky! It looks superb 

I suppose if I had to criticise, I'd say that the cobbled road and the paving works well. What appears to be missing is the kerbstone edging that separates the road surface from the pavement or sidewalk... Perhaps with a more solid line of regular, large kerbstones it would work just a little better?

[Hammers]

Who makes the strumpet in the picture?

[Michi]

The pavement looks fabulous, but you are right. It looks odd in combination with that medieval style scenery. The buildings are probably too rural for bigger city streets. I think some narrower closeways would look more appropriate. Mainly without sidewalks...
Don´t take me wrong: Your work is fantastic anyway!!!

[HerbyF]

Very nice terrain. But I am interested in some of the figures. Who makes the townsmen in the early pictures? The ones with the cutlasses & pistols.

Thanks guys!

Captain Blood: You are definately right about the kerbstone edging. This was just a test for the street itself and for the pavement I will definately add this. Actually I thought about using Tabletop World's Town Square tiles for the pavement:

For the street itself I will try again using insulation foam...


Hammers: The strumpet is from Black Cat Bases' pirate civilians range:

Michi: I don't think copplestone streets and medieval houses are contradicting. But the second thing that I am unhappy with (apart from the foamboard carvings) is the painting. I am not happy with the colours at all and I will need to experiment a lot more until I find colours that make it look better (anyone? )


HerbyF: They are pirates from Black Scorpion Miniatures:

Thanks for the honest feedback guys!

Probably Fremantle or Rockingham! You can see that sort of hangout most days around here.

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.

 

Oh please! If that's all you don't like then he's not doing bad now is he??

Bloody amazing scenery there mate, truely wonderful!
