Witches Hovel for my fantasy setting. Photo heavy.
« on: 21 September 2024, 11:55:02 AM »
Again working from an idea of what I want the interior to look like.  I am looking for dilapidated, chaotic clutter.  Starting off with the larger pieces of furniture.  All of it is made with mat board, stencil paper, match sticks and coffee stirrers.  Lots of bits and scratch built parks tucked in. 





Some critters to tuck in.

The rest of the clutter.






Hope you like.

The fact that all of that is scratch built is amazing!  :o

Awesome looking stuff. So, do you store your building furnishings inside the building when it is not on the tabletop, or do you have a separate "scatter" drawer? Just curious...

Thank you all for the nice words.

Not all of it.  Lots of bits mingled in there.

I did the latter with all of my sci-fy terrain.  For my fantasy terrain I am build everything with dedicated interiors.   It is all glued in place, however I use the open space in the buildings to store scatter terrain for the streets.

Great and convincing clutter. I like that your witch has a crossbow for times when cursing isn’t enough.

Awesome scratchbuilding again!

There's quite a menagerie of small furry animals there, even a raccoon on the bed...

And what looks like an Antwerp chained down next to the gardening tools?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Damn your work just keeps on getting better! :-* :-* I hate sounding like a fanboy but there is so much to fanboy about! All that great pottery, and the animals......and a brain with chicken legs, and everything painted in a restrained almost menacing palette. Yup, these are going to look great on the table.

Thank you all for the kind words.   

One of the folks in my club said I am building doll houses now.  My counter argument is that everyone loves to play on beautiful tables.  I always felt let down when the interiors of buildings were either not represented with sealed buildings or under represented with little or no interior details.  I figure if I am going to spend the time making it so you can enter a building that I should try to make the interior at least as good as the exterior.  The trick is always to make it playable.

What is an Antwerp?   I could not find a reference that made sense on the google.

Snitcythedog those are lovely, must look great on the table - I fully agree with your approach and the beautiful results.

There is a few witches who live in hovels in Cwmbran

Luckily the copious roundabouts and labyrinthine road network stop them escaping! Or that’s the witches at work, obfuscating the right path and making me regularly struggle to leave the place in a timely manner!

This stuff is insanely good, I love it. And I was wondering what an Antwerp is also?

I was about to put together a witch's cottage. I can only say, "We are not worthy!"

Good find.  It certainly looks like it.  I found it here:  https://www.checkpointminiatures.co.uk/shop/totem/  It is listed as a totem.
