Round bases it is!......The ruins of Krappefortt (MORDHEIM)

[smokezombie]

Nice pieces. The sign is deff a too old west. The removable sign is a good idea, would make it more interchangeable between Mordheim and Strange Aeons too. Perhaps a sign to tie in with one of the Aeons trucks you've just weathered.
Does the lid come off?

[Mason]

excellent, some more Mason masonry in the works...

 
Thanks, AEG, that gave me a chuckle.

VERY NICE addition...generic, but nice nonetheless. A alternate removable sign to cover the "Livery" would add to its possible uses. That aside, have FUN with the basing.

It is a nice generic building.
Dont worry- The sign is definitely a gonner!

Interchangable signs: Great idea!
The thing is one piece, I am afraid, but a little common sense will make the interior usable.

the walls look quite thick as well so I guess cutting is out of the question - so lift it off walls and all? or split the building and have two ruined ends...

I have already started on it, so it will be pretty much how it is.
I am basically using it as a warehouse/barn/whatever with a fenced yard.

I did consider splitting it but decided that I dont want to make another ruined building, as I have enough for Mordheim.
I also want it to be fairly generic, so intact would be best, I reckon.

Time will tell if I have made the right decision.

Plus there is the added bonus of getting it finished quickly if I dont mess around with it too much!

Why change the sign - isn't this where the good(?) folk of Krappefortt purchase their offal from? 

Think of the amazing pun names you could come up with for the characters associated with an old West style stables in Krappefortt -

Wild Bill Hiccup - the alcoholic stable owner

The Bone Ranger - sorry that's a bad one 

McFlintlock - the fastest arquebusier in the Old World

Whya Twerp - the foul mouthed old timer with no time for anyone

I could go on but thankfully I won't

Not to mention the soft spoken Marshal: Quiet Burp
The saloon owner: Miss Biddy
The consumptive gunslinger & gambler: Doc Weekday

Quiet Burp.  I like that one immensely. Nice one.

And you!
 

Very funny, guys.
That made me smile, and chuckle some too!

I may have to spend some time coming up with various removable signs to cover all those possibilities.

Well, I got the Warehouse finished today.

Here is a teaser pic until I get time to post the proper pictures later...



 

[anevilgiraffe]

tease

nice foliage though

[Ninja]

Yes please share what you used for foliage.

[Mason]

tease

nice foliage though

 
Thanks, aeg!
I couldnt resist it, but I did have to go out for a while....
Honestly.
 

Yes please share what you used for foliage.

It is standard Underbrush clump foilage, stuck on to the wall with wood glue.
When it has dried I pour a little cheap super glue on it to harden it and then a quick couple of layers of drybrushing to vary the colour.



Anyway, here are the rest of the pictures:





















A simple job of 'tarting up' an already nice building.

I hope that you like it...

[DeafNala]

VERY NICE! The basing, improvements to the fence, foliage, et al really bring the piece to a higher level. GREAT WORK!

I feel that it works pretty well.


Someone asked me today if the building worked well with Mordheim figure, so here are a few pics with some members of my Marienburg warband, the Posenhosen Trading Company:

















I think it works ok, especially considering that they are on raised slotta bases.

[OSHIROmodels]

Works well indeed and I like your solution for the sign 

There's something about 'building bases' that really appeals 

cheers
