I don't have much in the way of 28mm terrain and at present with so many figures to paint it isn't high on my priority to make any- although I am starting to think about ideas for camps. Anyway, these fill a much needed gap and I will probably add a few more of them in time, I am very happy with the price and the quality of the buildings.
All are painted with a mixture of test pots from a local DIY store.
I intend to make balsa doors for the two with open doors and also make a palisade and watchtower to complete the village- but I' not sure when these projects will get done!
Very nice, sounds like a cheap way to paint, using test pots, I'll have to try that one!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the guys at our club used 4x GW on a single building recently- a waste of money if you ask me. I use test pots for all my basing and terrain- you can even match them to the closest GW paint if you like- and for $NZ 4.50 or there abouts for a 250ml pot they are pretty good value

Those buildings are a great deal and look cool Craig. Sheesh, stop buying cool stuff, I am running out of excuses to run things past my wife!
ReplyDeleteI have been reading some LOTR terrain tutorials, and some of those are truely enormous multi-part setups.... and the number of guys who use GW paints is, well, madness. I love the test pots too. I don't know if your hardware store will operate like mine (Bunnings), Ray, but I intentionally choose a shade they do not keep on the shelves so that I end up with a larger pot. They've taken to stocking their usual movers in smaller and fancier looking pots. I prefer a utilitarian pot with twice the volume!
Buildings look good Craig.
ReplyDeleteI base my boys with model paint but all my terrian is test pots - a least untill the mother in law notices and does her nut!
You can build buildings like the above for cheap enough, but given the time taken $20 is well worth it.
Look forward to seeing the watch tower! You'll need a palisade too of course. I reccomed Sushi matts as they are already tied together!
Cheers

Craig - these look lovely mate, great job.
ReplyDeleteI've got some of these GB building inbound also, to add to my scratchbuilt ones. I too am planning a watchtower and pallisade, but have a church in progress in the meantime. Cheers!
