Cottage/Shop front for DnD and...

 

What started as a simple construction, and one which I was not happy with, has undergone quite a few changes and now has many uses.

I have extended the roof, detailed the inside walls and added wood beams, but the most interesting bits are the partial, ruined side walls and the ruined floor for the second floor. It now resembles and fits in with the other ruins I have recently been making.

This means that I can still use it for DND as originally designed but I can also use it for Frostgrave and even Kings of War as ruins.

Also it stores a lot easier than the full cottages I have made in the past, which I like very much. I have started to add these features to a second town house with 2 floors. Will be painting this hopefully at the end of the week.

I much prefer to have multiple uses for my builds, I have to say I am much happier with this model now.

Ruined Buildings Final Post

 

This is a collection of shots of the three pieces of ruined building terrain I have been making this last month on and off. Not going to explain how they were made as I've already done that here.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Small Ruins from Large

This could be termed as another refurbishing job, but since I never actually played with any of this stuff lets call it further development instead.

I started to build two new ruined buildings, just for the fun of it, but lost my way and never completed them. Then I decided they either had to go or needed realising in a different way.

So I got on with it,

I stuck a base on it for stability and began working on the timbers. On this build I decided it was time for a different technique/material. I used tapers to create the wood which I marked with a pointed modelling tool.

Then I added a whole lot of sand and glue in the form of PVAcrete, which made the structure very strong and very tough.

Added loads of extra little details which I really enjoyed doing.

There a few areas that need some further work, but basically its done and next I will be painting it.

What I like about these separate ruins is that you can place them together to create a whole building or use them individually or play with them to create all sorts of new configurations.

This is one of the original two buildings I began making ages ago out of a cat food box, my favourite material to build with.

But I just wasn't feeling it, so they didn't get very far and took up a ton of space on my table.

Will post the painted version and further developments in the near future.

Cheers

 

Perilous Dark: New Demons and Borock

After buying the Perilous Dark supplement for Frostgrave I realised there were some monsters I had never bought and others that I was going to need sometime in the future. So I set about sorting that situation, unacceptable!

First of I needed a Borock and since I had loads of bits knocking about in a box that Luke had given me a few years ago I set about fixing an old GW minotaur to a make shift base and getting to work with the GS. I added ,as you can no doubt see, hair and horns and a few dangly braids round its kneck.

Came out OK, so will need a lick of paint in next few days and some more attention to the base.

Next up were some models to represent Demons. So out of the same box came the second GW minotaur, its weapons were already damaged, one arm was completely off, and some lesser plastic beastmen, again who has last all their weapons. This was mainly due to having been shook up vigorously in a cardboard box for some time, this is an assumption, but from look was reasonable.

A few bits of GS to add detail, not well done i'll grant you, to the minotaur and thes are ready to paint.

Bases were created from cat food box card, I have tons, literally.

Last were the three models I had originally created as Demons some while ago when I started playing Frostgrave in 2016. However I needed a larger demon. I got out some corks and my glue gun and well, that's history as they say. Not good or clever but it at least finished off the trio. I am at rest now.

I will be painting these in the next few days, so will post again when that has all happened.

Cheers.
