Slowy been working on this commission but not far from the end now  :)

It's for 18mm but the building is scaled a bit smaller than it should be to make it 'work'. I prefer to get as close approximation to a buildings size as I can and although this is a massive building I think it does scale too bad.

15mm samurai for scale as I don't have and 15mm or 18mm naps  :?






Roofs are removable but there is just a very simple interior (just for placing figures in really) and there's the garden and garden walls to do but they shouldn't take too long as I have most of the bits. Chapel roof and that should be it  :)

The windows have been scored into acrylic and then had paint rubbed into them, back sprayed dark grey then white (for the interior) and then stuck in and they don't look too bad given the scale  :)




cheers

James

Thanks chaps  :)

Colin, it's just small scale vacform pantiles sheeting cut to size over a simple framework (no shots of that though).

Nice!  ;)

I'm not sure if this happens to others, but when I see something of this size/caliber, my brain runs through the same little cycle.

"Ooh, I'd love one of those in 28mm.  I could use it for xxx.  I couldn't afford it though.  I could make my own.  Where would I store it?  I need a bigger box/room/house (delete as applicable).  I'll check LAF for ideas/suggestions."  Rinse and repeat.
