Medieval furniture from matches!

My first 15mm scenery made from matches! And also first real wood painting experience.




Stall. I made cheese from greenstuff and then painted it.




Crude medival table.

Nice- simple but very effective. And a lot less $$ than buying cast ones!

Great furniture, might have to borrow this idea.

Very nice!

You get a great wood from.............wood

Thanks for the inspiration.

If someone want to know what I use for weathering here is info:
Raw Umber acrylic paint mixed with white paint and Tamiya X-20A thinner in different proportions for each match. After assembly I use Citadel Badab Black Wash on some parts of model. to highlight planks

So you didn't paint it, but just weathered it to pick out the natural grain in the wood?

Thanks for the tip!
That would probably work just as well with balsa.
Will give it a go.

They look very good...they match up well to manufactured shop stuff. (sorry, I couldnīt resist the pun  )

This is extremely effective. I use a similar technique myself, with thin acrylic washes.

Yes with booth and ladder. But with table (my 3-rd wooden model) I used different technigue. I painted it with very thin layer of mix of white aint with only a little bit raw umber. Then I removed paint from some places with Tamiya thinner. And adfter that I washed it with raw umber and a bit of Citadel Badab Black.
