More plasticville/lionel buildings for Strange Aeons

[Oldben1]

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.

wow, very atmospheric Flair 

[Sangennaru]

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

[Oldben1]

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]

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.

Great work!  Makes me want to paint up my Plasticville Buildings.

The car, where is that from?

same with the nice trees?

[Captain Blood]

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 

[D@rth J@ymZ]

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!

[Oldben1]

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.
