WOW! Great stuff! Is that separate shingles on that lean to? The level of accurate detail you go to is amazing!

These terracotta shingles would come in very handy for roman buldings, too. Where do you get them from?

Stronghold Terrain have some teaser pics of their upcoming WW2 ruin sets on their Facebook page. They will release the ruins, the laser-cut roofs and the terracotta shingles through the next weeks. https://www.facebook.com/Stronghold-Terrain-231373353622159/timeline/

Hey Andy, thanks for the nice words! The shingles come in strips of 5, 4, 3, 2 and singles. But the connections on the strips are so brittle that most of the shingles come apart when you're handling them. I would recommend this stuff as it's quite cheap also. Drop the guys Elmar or Mirco a line on their homepage and maybe you're lucky and they will send you some over even before release ...  http://stronghold-terrain.de/

Not sure what you mean? I built a wooden support structure (see pics above), measured the shingles and spaces of the battens precisely and glued the shingles on with white glue. So everything is here already, I think.

Time for an update. All construction is done in the meantime, roofs shingled, detail parts finished, all is left is painting and weathering.

Getting the shingles on the roofs was most time consuming as usual. I used some stiff rough card called "Elefantenhaut" in Germany which provides a nice structure. The small building got single shingles, for the larger one I used strips of card nicked with scissors. For basic colouring I used Ral Partha Dragon Scale Blue with a few drops of Vellejo dark grey surface primer mixed in to darken it a bit more. Some ink washes and drybrushing will follow shortly.




The house walls were plastered on the outside too and will get some light sanding and two highlights. Of course all the brickwork must be properly painted as well.






Doors were cut from balsa, detailed and painted and on the right is shown the destroyed door with green stuff mattress like in the Northern painting.




Last but the most tiring stuff: 36 window shutters from strip styrene. They will get a wash and some highlighting as well.




On to finishing!  :)

Yes. At least. Had a laborous weekend painting, weathering and finishing the buildings. Last picture of all the separate components:




So, without further comment, here are a couple of pictures of the buildings and the wall set I did some time ago. Enjoy!






















Hopefully I can get some decent in-game shots at the Crisis show.  :)
