Good work on those - fields are always great to have

With the church perhaps some Christmas decorations for the bells? (I know I am suggesting this in May)

Nice one Will, you can never have enough fields and that church looks like a useful piece of kit.

Nice job Will, the TimeCast fields are superb, I have their ponds on order and have high hopes for them.

I use their ponds frequently too. They're ace.

The Timecast buildings are very nice, with crisp edges and smooth surfaces; they paint nicely and look very good.

However, I'm being drawn to the "Total Battle Miniatures" ranges.  I feel that they are not quite as fine as the Timecast buildings, but that's a very debatable point, but I do like their standard "footprint" approach.  The buildings sit with 100mm x 60mm bases for the churches, 80mm x 40mm bases for the larger buildings and 40mm x 40mm bases for the smaller buildings. 

This means that, if you like to use "landscaped" village/town bases, the buildings can be interchangeable.  I'm planning to make a few scratchbuilt buildings for my LOA Flanders armies and I will be keeping to 80mm x 40mm and 40mm x 40mm base sizes.

Timecast are accurate to the actual buildings (I've been travelling with them, they take photos and tape measurements), plus Barrie was in photo reconnaissance.

The Total Battle Buildings are very nice, and are good for gaming, as they have a reduced footprint.

I knew they were based on actually buildings, but didn't know that level of research went in to them.

I've got TBM and Timecast buildings, but from different periods, but I'm not sure they are that compatible with each other style wise.

I realy like theTimecast stuff. they are a delight to  paint and I have quite a few. They do have a relatively large footprint when compared to other ranges.

I like bigger buildings. I tend too use a fairly small figure ration: in WWII it's 1:1, in Napoleonics (if I ever get any painted ) it's 1:10. Bigger buildings look better IMHO.

The basing of the barrel vaulted house makes sense when you put the village together ;)

Those look great, much nicer than my middle eastern buildings which have little more than a base coat and wash at this point!

Have you any tips for achieving those weathering effects?
Title: Re: New terrain today
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 08 August 2020, 09:56:36 PM
White base, brown wash, white highlights, basing colour highlights, white highlight, stonegrey highlights. Roof was washed and then stonegrey again.
Title: Re: New terrain today
Post by: mmcv on 09 August 2020, 12:43:10 AM
Cheers, I'd gone with a sandy brown/grey and a wash, but think some white would go well on them.
