It's been a long time since I built some terrain, and it was really fun to sit down and just build something from scratch with no plans.
I have hills, rivers, fences, etc. for my table, but I do not have any buildings that I could use for games such as Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game, Warhammer 40K, or even for Bolt Action. Since lately, I have been in the mood to paint my Middle-Earth models, I decided to start off creating a building for that style of game.
So for my first building, I decided to create a little Tutor Farm House. Below are the images for the steps I took, I did not take a lot of photos of every step but caught the major ones, lol. :)
Materials All laid out ready to start work, and yes I'm messy.
Walls cut out, glued up and roof added on. Used cardboard from
a small box for the roof and I backed each wall with a piece of
cardboard the same size as the dollar tree foam board is pretty
flimsy when you peel the paper off.
I cut out individual small bricks for the foundation, and
created a door with a brick frame.
Foundation complete, and ready to start adding the wood
exterior and then the roof.
Wood accents around the building are complete, and now to
start the roof. I cut our individual shingles for the roof using
the cardboard from a cereal box.
The roof is now complete and I really like how the wood accents
turned out. I cut out each wood plank from the foam, and
peeled the backing off one side of the foam, and used a sharp
object to create the wood grain.
Here is another look at the completed building, this time from
the backside of the building.
The next steps are to get this all painted up. I still have not decided if I want to put it on a base or not, with flocking, etc. I really like ho this turned out, and I feel not too bad for my first attempt at a building like this. One thing I know I did a little wrong, is the door is a little bit too big for this house and will make that correction on the next one.
Until next time, happy gaming!!!!!
That turned out really well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, going to make a trip to get some more paint, then I'll do a post of it painted up. I will also be making a Barn/Horse Pen, a BlackSmith shop, and other terrain pieces, like fences, river, hills, etc.
