What about a "Lockdown project competition"  -  these "keeping ourselves busy" activities that involve figures and dioramas ?

Again not so much to show for this week, but I have finished my scenario book for Sellswords and Spellslingers! I've just got to make a final selection on some of the photos and I'll be sending it to the publisher this week! http://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/05/keeping-myself-busy-10.html

Good progress on the scenario book  :-bd

The 'lockdown art' sums it up rather well :(

I didn't get around to posting an update on my painting log last week so I thought I'd combine the two weeks with my latest construction for my Streets of Venice layout. http://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/06/more-for-venice-plus-other-painting-to.html

I really like that, is it Sarrisa? The red roof is great. A great addition to this project.


One little suggestion, perhaps add a strip of card to the ridge line of the roof, this will then hide the join of the MDF sheets, and also looks like the ridge tiles often seen on a roof too.

It's TTCombat. I must admit I was thinking along similar lines when I was looking at the pics on the blog.

Its very nice for a TT Combat building, they are normally functional and cheap, but all the extra columns and window decoration really add to it.

A bit of work on the roof usually works well for most MDF buildings, I've found a few strips of card (eg from cereal packets) can really add to the base building for very little effort.

A little bit of colour on some of the roof edges would also lift it
