Building a Peninsular town (update 19/03/24 - more buildings painted

[Warboss Nick]

Thanks for the compliments Eric and littlearmies!

Good point on non 90 degree corners, I will have to keep that in mind when building walls, courtyards and the odd DIY building. No sagging roofs though as I only like that look for fantasy settings. I might have to try some missing pantiles or other irregularities though.

Things have been a bit quiet here, as live caught up with me (and J got a little distracted by medieval skirmish). There are several housing projects in the pipeline, but I’m not sure when I will be able to build them. In the meantime I finally finished a couple of civilians and some furniture that have been sitting on my desk half painted for months. Not much, but at least some progress.

Loving all of those, great for setting he scene.

[Warboss Nick]

Thanks Grumpy!

It’s construction time again. The weather is either cold, stormy or both, so U can’t use rattle cans which I’d need to do before building the Sarissa Mediterranean farm. So I decided to pull out some old resin roof sheets and plasticard and build more houses. This one cannot be entered, but to reach my goal I decided I’ll need some “filler” houses.

This is a corner house, and the setup was in part drawn by the bitz and pieces I had at hand. It still needs some filler and a bit of texture on the walls but should look reasonably well when painted.

Another simple building. The layout is due to the size of the tiled roof sheets. The side walls are again left bare so houses can be placed next to each other.

The wooden wall once again came about because I didn’t have a suitable piece of plasticard at hand. Hopefully this will also break up the mass of plastered walls a bit visually. In the Mediterranean wood is usually used for balconies, oriels etc., but why not like this, too?

These look great! Really nice work.
Where did you get the windows and doors from?

Thanks, Shtim! Unfortunately I don’t remember where I got them.  I bought these bitz some 15 years ago.

[Warboss Nick]

Finished some more buildings, added plaster and some details. I still have one sheet of roofing but have run out of other bitz like doors and windows. Hopefully the weather will play along so that I can prime this lot.

A group shot of what is waiting to be primed. Also an example of how the buildings and angles could fit together. Hope you like it, in particular Littlearmies that reminded me to add some non 90 degrees corners.

looking good.

That works so well!

Thanks guys! Glad you like the buildings.

Primed the smallest building with a brush and got it painted. I also tried putting on vines and quite like the result. I took some cord I got for rigging 28mm ships. Glued to the wall with PVA and superglue, painted and then glued on flock. The picture without flock also shows the colours best.

Me like. Me like a lot.

Brilliant!
