Top work, you must have green fingers?

    Only on the tabletop, not in my own garden!

Id certainly like to place orders for things from the naps range. How do we go about it?

Is there anything you specifically want that I can bump up the design queue?

This hobby just gets better!

That looks terrific, Michael !

Ive lost track of whats been designed in the range. I seem to recall two bridges. One timber and one stone. This townhouse and belle alliance. Are there any others?

Another lovely looking building.

A small suggestion, should the alternate rows of roof tiles be offset?

Do you have a link, or brand name to the modelling paste, it seems a very easy, and effective method of adding a bit of texture to a model.

The intention is that they're pantile tiles rather than off-set. Clay tiles come in a variety of colours. I have quite a few red roofed models so I chose to paint this one grey. Perhaps too blue 'slate' grey?





I can design off-set tiles as well but pantiles were more common for German houses. Pantiles were also common in Belgium - Flemish pantiles were being used here in Scotland as early as the 17th century. La Haye Sainte used a mix of off-set and pantile, for example.

I used a cheap Pebeo opaque heavy acrylic paste. It's designed, like paint, to adhere to the vertical so I find it quicker to work with than filler that's designed to fill gaps. Quickly running a cocktail stick through a thin layer adds, I think, a simple impression of wood grain to an otherwise flat surface with minimal effort.

Thanks for the link to the acrylic paste, I'll get a tube, seems to work very well to add that small bit of texture that is so important in making things look more natural.

Re the roofs - I think the grey had made be think of slate, and they normally overlap, not of pantiles ( auto correct, nearly made that into a naughty sentence    )

I've recommended it on the forum before. It's useful when you don't want a sandy texture. It's also quite easy to mark brick and stone shapes with a pin. In effect, it's just thick paint that holds its shape.

I think you have a point. I might add a bit of a red glaze over the grey and keep the blue grey colour for actual slated roofs.

Terrific looking building which I could use in both the SYW and Franco-Prussian Alsace/Dijon settings.

Yes, I'm going to start calling this range Central European rather than German.

Given I have 10mm SYW and 10mm 1809 forces to build, these look very promising.

A figure on a penny can balance on the top step.



The original has so much texture detail and colour it's tempting to add much more to the model!

Those stairs don't look very safe!
