For my WotR project I want a small hamlet and this is the first of the dwellings.
It's actually a joint effort between me and Jimbibbly as it started off as a 17thC cottage before I took it back 200 years. Originally it was in a square frame style with stone chimney and tiled roof. Jame's building was absolutely splendid (as we would expect from the master of Oshiro Terrain!) but too late for me. Using Jame's cottage as a starting point was a great motivator for me as I had been stuck on where to start, but with his building as a base and a tour of the internet I was able to find my mojo.
Changes from Jame's original include the removal of some of the square timber frame and it's replacement with cruck (curved) timbers, removal of the chimney, a replacement thatched roof, some added texture to the wall infill for a rougher look, new groundworks and a complete re-paint.
The cruck timbers are from balsa, which was bolied for 15 minutes, then had its fibres crushed, was reshaped, cooled, then allowed to dry overnight while taped to a former. The thatch is a hand towel.
Hope you like but all comments most welcome.
NB: The base does sit flat - the photo was taken on my painting station with numerous spilled blobs creating an uneven surface
With a Perry WotR plastic for size comparison.
With the roof removed - when gaming I like to put miniatures that are inside a building inside the building, rather than off the table somewhere......
The base is laser cut acrylic and I have a few more on order from Oshiro (ETA James?
).
