The Supreme Littleness Designs website is launched!

Will definitely get a set then.

I think the idea of walls and outhouses that can be shuffled about to create different varieties of building is one worth exploring and possibly extending. My only reservation at the moment (as it is with all laser-cut buildings) is how they can be made to blend in with my stock of existing resin-cast buildings. I have one friend who has totally disposed of all his resin-cast stock in order to use only laser-cut items. And the reason I know is that he disposed of them to me!

I agree that blending one type with another is sometimes hard. To be honest, I find that different manufacturer's buildings even in the same material can be hard to use together. For my own 1809 project, I think I have at least three different Essling villages! I think one way of using laser-cut models together with resin is to be artistic with filler/modelling paste on the flat areas of the laser-cut models, even just adding a simple brush over of filler to catch a drybrush highlight. But I don't mind the idea of a tabletop covered with laser-cut models.    I hope to be able to produce enough to allow gamers to do just that.

Here's something that as a gamer I've been wanting for some time. I prefer to cram as many building models as possible into a village or town. I'm not a fan of mixing scales of buildings and figures but I can appreciate why other gamers do it. One alternative is small footprint buildings. I'm experimenting here with very small footprint buildings. These 10mm houses each have a footprint of only 20 x 40mm.

There is no set way of assembling the models. The walls are interchangeable – although it seems appropriate that each building has a door, a chimney and at least one window! There are two extensions with lean-to roofs that can be fixed to any blank wall and a bake-house type chimney for one of them. The three buildings should provide a good deal of variety.

Now I do like them...
I have no use for them (yet)... What about fortifications, middle ages and Middle eastern?

Loving those Michael

Toptastic Michael!

It's all possible.  

I have a pair of Middle East dwellings done but I'm awaiting a delivery of plywood material as pulpboard has proved to be too weak for the smallest pieces.

[Leman]

Where is this stuff going to be advertised?

[WeeWars]

I plan to create a new website to advertise the models for sale and include instructions for building them as well as show what I'm working on.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

As long as it doesn't get in the way of Esseling!

[fsn]

I haven't esselled for ages.

[WeeWars]

I've esselled at least three times.

Most excellent.

Who doesn't like a Gothic ruin? I did this as a little experiment today, inspired by a photograph in a book on German buildings. It has a pretty small footprint of only 27 x 39mm – small enough to embellish a Warband base, perhaps! I'm going to wash a bit of filler over it and see what it looks like.

Cheers, Michael

Stalingrad, here I come.
What kind of file do you need as I always wanted to design some buildings ?
What size are your material ( 2mm...) ?

[Le Manchou]

As your blog, it's an impressive work. I would be interested by Napoleonic period 1/600 to 1/1 000 scale footprint buildings to add to my maps. I will follow the evolution of your project.
