Continuing with my plan to expand my collection of 15mm terrain for our Napoleonic games, I wanted some simple, small buildings for farms and villages; so I bought two Battlefield Accessories' 15mm House Packs.
These are perfect for rural houses in villages and hamlets throughout central Europe. I added texture to the walls with sanded grout. Although a little coarse for the effect I was after, it turned out well enough.
I also cladded the lean-tos with scribed foamed PVC to represent wooden siding and doors (added after the pic below was taken).
As there are 3 buildings in each pack, I chose to base a single building, a pair and a trio. The single structure can represent a farmstead or tiny hamlet.
The pair, a more substantial village.
The trio could be a proper village or small town, depending on the rule set.
Altogether they make a substantial town.
These were so simple to glue together and embellish that I am thinking of getting another pack and doing them up with thatch rooves as that would have been more common on rural lowland houses
These look terrific, and the sanded grout really adds another dimension and completely takes away the uniform appearance you often get with MDF buildings.
ReplyDeleteDamb fine work, Sir!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding building project! I agree with Lawrence that the texturing works very well. Had you not stated MDF up front, I would not have known.
