[Steam Flunky]

Lovely graveyard!

[Psychoflexible]

That's a good begining, La Maisontaal is a classic of terrain making

[ZeroTwentythree]

Your previous terrain is really good, and this is a great start on La Masiontaal. Can't wait to see it more!

Hi all

Some more progress on the Abbey and I have finished all the detailing apart from the roof and the gatehouse. I spent a few nights in front of the TV cutting and gluing all the bits and pieces on and adjusting the design as I go.  :grin:





I added some wooden interior details to the ruined part of the abbey and late I will add a stone floor and some debris.





The roof came out really well and I spent a bit of time making sure it fitted tightly into the slots I had cut. Then I realised that it would not be removeable so I had to cut the foam board away and glue it onto the roof between the beams.  :blush:





Next up I will give the buildings and walls a stone texture and then glue them together. Then I will add some stones to the corners of the buildings which helps covers the joins and gives a new effect like in the picture above. Also i'll finish tiling the roof.

[.:Gunslinger:.]

Very nice buildings - you really have good skills! I love the inside of the roof!

[Vermis]

Shaping up brilliantly. Love the details.

By the stars, the way you build up your walls with those tiny pieces is time consuming but SO worth the effort. Consider the idea put in my head for possible future use!

Its a bit slower but i like the effect of the stones. If you want to see a crazy build using individual stones check out the Castle Blackwolf in the Workbench Forum

Some more progress on the abbey. I've finished gluing all the stone work on (apart from the main gate) and i textured the wall. I cut up the bases and made them separate and interlocking so I can store it easier, and use the pieces separately (hard to see in the pictures). I have started on a floor in the ruined section using a GW movement tray and I will add some broken stones and debris.All I have left to do is the doors and windows, debris and whatever extra details I add along the way.

Wow. Looking really good.

Hi all

I've been away as it our summer holidays here, so lots of sun and beaches :-)

I have finished the construction of the abbey. I added some windows and doors and other details. The windows are made from balsa with fly net mesh and the doors are balsa with green stuff hinges and brass handles. I also added a shield motif on the buildings using a GW Empire shield design.

The floor has been modeled with some damage and I added pieces of polystyrene to the floor where the rubble went.


The abbey finished (without rubble)



The gatehouse with abbey design



Some extra ruins bits which I can use as generic pieces



The ruined tower and closeup of the door





The abbey





The main entrance to the abbey with mesh windows





Rubble
This was all the leftover pieces of card, balsa and foam board used to make the model. Normally it would go in the rubbish but I kept it to use for rubble.




And the completed La Masiontaal with rubble added

I wanted it to have a decent amount of rubble, which I prefer to some of the smaller amounts I see on models. When I paint the rubble I will mix PVA glue into the base coat to help keep the rubble down.







Other pieces




Next up I will paint this sucker

Alright so I finished this piece finally! 

I'm pretty stoked how it came out and I can't wait to use it. I think it is reasonably true to the original and it will make a great center piece for a game.

I painted it with craft paints and weathered it with washes, modelling powders and an airbrush. The roof needs a bit of gentle bending to make it fit better but otherwise it came out better than I hoped.

Lots of pictures

















Cheers

Woah!! 

That looks really cool! You've done a great job with it.

[tancrede]

Very good work, both building and painting ! 
Now, with some action pics using painted minis, it will be perfect ! 

[6mmfan]

Thanks guys. Yeah it too a bit of time especially the all details(the basic structure was quick though).

Next up I will make some simpler White Dwarf inspired cottages. I also really want to make a tavern (on the right). Does anyone know more information about it? I have some pictures from the 3rd edition rulebook and the GW making terrain book but not much else.

But first I have some new figures finished, lurking in the ruins
