Not much done over the weekend as I was reenacting, but I did carve a spare chimney so we could have a burned out house.

Best of all, only needs five minute paint job! Lol

That's a great bit of terrain! And while the painting was easy, the paintjob looks ace!

Rather like that burned out building.

Yes, that's superb!

That looks great. Almost like you actually set it on fire...

I was tempted…..but then remembered to a school project Magna Carta I did……soaking it in all sorts to age it….I then thought I’d singe the corners……but it had become highly flammable! Lol

Anyway, I digress / regress …..cheers chaps, yes, I think it’s pretty effective, so I’d best make another!

About two hours work last night..fairly simple builds but effective I think.

Now, enough distraction, I really must get on with the new builds!

Very effective, looking forward to seeing the whole village on a table.

That's 2 houses torched now. Methinks you have a firebug about...

Indeed….👀……I think he’s German though!

Lots to do to get these houses ready for painting. However, thinking ahead, I will most likely build my own church and when I do, I may do a burnt down version too. I just need to figure out how to do the onions!

There's a fairly recent LAF thread on just that subject.

Personally I'd go with my own suggestion of the polystyrene foam Christmas baubles (suitably modge-podged for painting) as you could build the tower to fit the baubles. Locally you can buy a variety of shapes, some are like the finials on curtain rods but much larger, which btw is another route if you can find big enough finials.

May try looking for thread then, cheers.

Edit: found it and just ordered a couple of Ian Weekly domes, the rest should be straight forward I hope! 🤔

A visit to my mum and dads….both very crafty, raided mums studio for various pins for door handles etc, then dad turned me an onion on his lathe whilst I was still in bed!

Thinking of putting my retired parents to work and starting a Wargames supplies business!

Throw in your 3D printer & the occasional stock room clearance (OK Garage) and
I think you'd be onto a winner there David.
