Red Storm - first skirmish!

[Digits]

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

[FreakyFenton]

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

[Ash]

Rather like that burned out building.

[carlos marighela]

Yes, that's superb!

[CapnJim]

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

[Digits]

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!

[Digits]

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!

[brunei35]

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

[CapnJim]

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

[Digits]

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!

[carlos marighela]

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.

[Digits]

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!

Well, it does pay to know people...Good man your dad is!

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