With so many communities on the battlefield, providing buildings to represent them is going to be a collective effort. I have approximately 12 of my own already, but I picked up three more from Warbases. Specifically a few of their rural German buildings from their 15mm Buildings range:
I used some Lepages Plastic Wood Filler to texture the walls of the farmhouse and some Gorilla Glue Wood Filler (natural) on the barn and outbuilding, including the daub infill:
The farmhouse got a roof of Platers Plasticard, fish scale tiles:
All the siding, beams and thatch rooves were primed with Vallejo's Parched Grass primer; the tile roof got hit with a coat Rustoleum Paint &Primer spay, brick red:
The walls of the the barn and outbuilding were textured with Gorilla Wood Filler and the thatch rooves were made from the same. I then brushed the thatch with a moist coarse brush for texture:
I used the Parched Grass primer as the basecoat for the thatch; I am pleased with both the texture and the colour. It is probably the fastest and simplest thatch roofing I have ever done.
Normally I like substantial bases on my buildings that I can add some landscaping to but I left these as is; the base they come with has a small lip.
These are larger buildings than the Sarissa Precision and Battlefield Accessories products; I think they are designed with skirmish gaming in mind as the rooves and second stories are removeable.
I loved working on these and I am tempted to get a few more.
