It's getting there, Peter.......Don't go too far over the top.

Next one put togheter just now, ready to do the interior and then spackle it. Then on to the dreaded roof tiles  

The windows and door are plastic bits, and are left off for ease of painting. and the base is not too big, i'll be adding some trees to the side of this one so provided extra space.

Define too far  

After this one i'll probably make a tavern and some ruined corner sections. If i have enough material left i'll probably make another building. I want 5-6 pieces for a small table to use in song of blades and heroes, or combine them with plastic ruins and card houses for mordheim.

Define too far 

Errrrrm  .....Making it too 'fussy', Peter, which I think might start spoiling what you've already done. (Which I genuinely like)
Does that make sense ?.....Probably not. 

Cheers - Phil

[petercooman]

Yeah that makes sense. I've left it as it I for now, will think about it while I finish the house.

An other option with the fountain might be to have a colossal crack in the fountain, so all the water has drained out?

Not a bad idea  :-

I'll get back to it. I still have enough parts to make a second one too. I want to make one with my spare model of king albert the 1st, but I fear it will be too specific and won't see much use.

My most insane solution was to magnetize the top and make the statues changeable to fit my games

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Genius!
Today Albert, tomorrow Napoleon!

[petercooman]

So i went a bit overboard after finishing the roof, and made furniture for the interior.

I feel like playing with a dollhouse now 

Genius!
Today Albert, tomorrow Napoleon!

I'm still thinking this through, as i used a 20mm square base for the statue top, this would mean i could end up with an army of stone golems.  :- :-

[petercooman]

So i textured the walls today, and while waiting for it to dry, i started the " interchangeable statue of doom" ™

Got 5 models that will get the statue treatment. For now i've gotten as far as texturing the statue base, and now have to wait untill it is dry.

We got Leopold II (probably for darkest africa games)

Then we have a high elf for fantasy, a Albert I for ww2 or later and peter minuit just because i had him and didn't find a use.


And for poops and giggles i made an evil empire  marine statue. now i just have to paint it gold   

[petercooman]

Got the building and statue finished,speed painted again, but first, golden space marine! 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

All look great!

[fsn]

Excellent!

I am tempted to emulate your prowess.

The statues is a brilliant idea

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

The interiors are not really up there in details, nut they won't see as much use. For games like kings of war they will not be used so i made them quick jobs. Still looks better than an empty house though!

I'll be putting my plans for these on the backburner a bit now, seeing as i have a few buildings done and ready to play, and i need to get some models painted now. Hope to have that done pretty fast, so i can restart these!
