Here is the Medieval Inn from Tabletop World. Check out my blog for a review of the building and more photos.

Hope you like it!

Amazing work.

One miniature is too many, and a thousand are not enough...

Thank you, guys!

@Sangennaru: What do you mean by rough? The structure of the walls?

i mean the texture... it is pretty more heavy in the last building you did. did you added it to the resin ones or are tey just so? cause on the website they looked pretty different!!!

anyway, all this work is amazing, no words!

who knows, maybe in a near future you'll be buying also the 28mm scenery i'm casting! i've now finished the first model, and will be on sale on warpaint at the end of may, i hope! :P

If you look closer at the additional pics on the website, it is the same.

So many games, so little time.

Superb, as ever.  Gierburg's character grows with every new addition.  Gaming through its bustling streets would be a delight, indeed!  Have you kept the roof and upper floor separate for gaming purposes, like the Merchant's House?

Thanks for your comments!

@Sangennaru: I always have my eyes open for high quality 28+mm resin houses of this type so I'd love to see your buildings! Are there photos available anywhere?

The texture... hmmm I actually like it. It's cool to paint something different. The Coaching Inn and Resina Planet's Governor's Mansion have more smooth surfaces and it's nice to paint a different texture. It obviously requires a different technique and the results are different too. So from a painter's perspective I do appreciate the challenge/variety. I don't know from a "realistic" view if such a surface is not plausible or something? I (yet!) know too little of wattle/daub and other aspects of medieval architceture. I imagine the plaster could be rough as well?

Anyways, it's good to point this out. I'll pass the criticism on to the guys and let them know. Maybe they want to consider a different type of wall surface then.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot: Yes, the roof and first floor both are removable. I didn't show inside pictures because I was too lazy to paint the inside :? Guess, I should have don't anyhow considering I tagged the post "review".  ::)
