Various Cabins
« on: September 18, 2022, 09:15:50 AM »
Here are 4 different cabins that I painted for my AWI collection.
The figures in the first 3 photos are all conversions.
I'm happy with the way that they turned out.

The buildings were heavily drybrushed to bring out the details.

They look great! Nice and rustic.
Now what is this whole life of mortals but a sort of comedy, in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each one his part, until the manager waves them off the stage?

Nicely done! I like how each building has a different palette- it gives each one some individuality, as they should have from being hand made from local materials.

Great stuff, both your stained wood and natural wood look splendid.

Not Cabins, but more like wealthy land owner type homes.
These are Architectural Heritage solid cast, AWI buildings.
They weigh a ton!!

These are outstanding structures and there was an entire series of Early American Historical buildings issued.
I am fortunate enough to have them all, including the hollow casts. In fact two of the cabins above are hollow.
The blue one and the last all wood one.
It was a name like JB or JR castings that made the hollow cabins.

Architectural Heritage used something called "stonecast" material.
It produced stunning models!

Unfortunately, they went OOB many years ago.
Another company used their molds to make hollow cast replicas.

These were not bad but not the same level of quality as the originals.

I've got lots more buildings to show. I'll see what else is around.

Nice looking structure, pity they are OOP. Could probably do with one of those for Saint-Eustache.
