Here are some buildings I recently finished painting for my Strange Aeons table. I wanted a rural property somewhat like the Dunwich Horror with a barn and a cabin. The barn is plasticville and the cabin is from Lionel.

very interesting setting! The buildings are great! Is the interior meant to be from a museum?

I replace the windows with a clouded plastic and I use a flickering LED light so the buildings looked lived in. I did something similar with my apartment block. I built a wood plank floor for the barn because it is just really an open space. You can stack a couple of crates in there. I bought the cabin second-hand, so the interior was a little warped.

I like those

I was lucky to have a barn kit given to me a while back, which I managed to get finished recently. I haven't seen the cabin before - definitley one to look out for.

Ramirez, I totally stole your idea! I had the chance to buy the barn last year but I wasn't sure how well it would turn out. After I saw your post and went and bought it right away.

Very impressive! (You should post some pics to the thread

)

Fantastic work, perfect atmosphere. May I ask what you used for the cobblestone effect on the road surface?

Oldben1 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 20, 2012, 01:42:09 AM »

It is a LeMax Christmas cobblestone mat I got at Michaels. I painted it black and than drybrushed it. I wish I could say I cut out all the stones individually like some fellows on this site, but I am simply not that patient.

The car, where is that from?

Lovely.

I'm not usually a fan of the plasticville buildings. They look just, too... well... plasticky

But your repaints really bring them to life. Great work. Well done

Very nice buildings. I have a couple of these plasticville buildings that I need to get done as well and this is the kind of look that I would be very satisfied if I can achieve it, well done. The flickering light is a really nice touch.

Those buildings look great! Very spooky!

The trees are from a company called Scliech. Got them at a big sale a few years ago, otherwise they are very expensive. They are a little big but they don't shed like my other trees do. The car is a grocery delivery model from Ertl that I thought made a cool black mysterious vehicle for a group of cultists or threshold agents. it was really beat up when I bought it, but looks okay now.

I've been totally inspired by the work on this web-site. When I look at my earlier work I always shove it back in the box. I've come to realize I'm a good painter, not s much a good builder.
