A Couple of Plastic Cottages

A while ago I bought several plastic building kits online,  the order consisted of 4 Tabletop Workshop buildings and a Perry's Miniatures medieval cottage. I cleaned them, primed them, and then they sat in that state for about two years. I have managed to get 2 of that order done in the last week or so.

 The tabletop top kits have great texture, the wood grain is nice and pronounced and the daub is well rendered. The kits are robust with roofs that are mean't to come off.  The doors, hinges, windows and shutters are clean and crisp; the interior walls are also nicely detailed.

The downside of the kit are the tabs that connect the walls to each other, similar to MDF kits, and the coarse thatching of the roof.

The Perry's cottage is not as robust, is more in line with traditional model kits, made out of thinner styrene and I would consider it more delicate. Although I have left then roof removable, the interior has no details like the Tabletop Workshop kits. 

The thatch is perfectly sculpted, as is the daub. The detailing of the wood features is quite faint. Although more realistic in scale, dry brush and wash won't give as satisfying result as it does on the TW products.

My next post in a couple weeks time will be of  Tabletop Workshop's Town House and Merchant's House.
