ParticipantAgreed I think the painting wasn’t up to the same quality as the build and the photograpghy didnt help.
That is a great build.
Yet, something about the original speaks to me more?I will have another look later.
Until then, my take on the Townscape Cottage:
Great work, it tempted to build all these as well!

ModeratorMy wizard/priest was a converted flegler.
But I have bought 4 fleglers which is one short for a unit.
So the wizard has returned to being a flegler in order for me to have a unit of them.Meaning the spot of wizard was up for grabs, as such we now have a new wizard.
Fraulein Pfiezel.A new wizard of course means new spells, as in WFB 3rd edition spells are rolled randomly.
This time I went more Elemental than Battle Magic.I also took the opportunity to prettify my spell cards:

ModeratorI am pondering what scatter and or small items of scenery to make.
I have my cottage, some fields, hedges, fences and barricades.
I have a wayside shrine, trees, and some roads.
Clearly I need a stepped hill.I will also make more buildings.
But what else that adds oldhammery old world vibes should I make?
A gibbet?
Signpost?

ParticipantLooks fantastic, very realistic IMHO.

ParticipantWhat kind of psychopaths start their harvesting from the middle and go tri-lobbed?!?! Really does look good. Trees bases are really effective too.

ParticipantI suspect the field was trampled down and marched though by some enemies of the state more than unusual harvesting practices .
You say that, but I’ve seen the WFRP spell list, and a good blast of befuddlement can make normal sane peasants do all sorts of crazy things! 😉

ModeratorI should be able to get it all done in about a year at 1 model per week.
So 9 weeks in, have I painted 9 models?
Nope.
I have painted 2 and almost finished 2 more, just doing the basing.Why?
Well project BOYL 2025 has mutated.
Instead of being 50 models for BOYL in 2025 it has become that, plus, 50 models for Samantha too.
(Of which I have painted 5, so that almost makes the 9?)
Plus it has become terrain.So 9 weeks in I have:
Painted almost 9 models.
Painted 4 lengths of fence.
Made 6 lengths of hedge.
Made a field.
Made a tree terrain base.
Re-flocked 6 trees.
Painted 1 barricade.
Scratchbuilt and painted a cottage.
Primed 100 models.So all in all quite good, but not what I had planned…
10/07/2024 at 15:11 #200469Darkest Star Games
ParticipantSlann would explain a lot…(or most probably explain nothing, but a good conspiracy is a good conspiracy)
I would say that you have indeed painted 9 models, more even, just not 9 figures. Hopefully you are not feeling down on yourself as your output has been excellent even though not what you planned.

ParticipantFinished the walls.
Jeremy Clarkson could use you down on his farm, that’s for sure.
They look pretty darn good there, the walls and the minis.

ParticipantA local village, for local people. Dig too deeply below the surface and all sorts of perversions and taints may be laid bare.
There’s nothing for YOU here!
I certainly hope they aren’t laying their taints bare, though. At least, not in public. Maybe at home, between consenting adults… I mean, even Chaos has its limits.
I, likewise, would like to see your own village! Your stuff on KR-16 was so evocative I know you’d do a brilliant bit!
I also see now I’m replying to way-old posts because my cache is clearly well out of date, so apologies for coming in so late in the process. Nevertheless I love what you’re doing here, Mike!

Thanks, then I will.

ParticipantWill more strangers come?!
The ongoing Tilean campaign on the site here makes me think it can be done, and brilliantly! Always eager to see it, although you are brave to tackle these ludicrously large scales!

ModeratorI think that is one of the key factors in the slowness of it all.
Making a 6mm sci-fi settlement is easy, so easy I made several and made them available commercialy.
Again 15mm desert fantasy, easy and enjoyable to world build and easy enough to create a large village/town.25mm is proving more costly in time, space and actual money.
And I will never have a settlement as big as even my 15mm town, and even if I did, it would not be that much more detailed, I am pleased with what detail I could manage in teeny 6mm.
But in 25mm the individual models that live in those places have more character and they will help breath more life into it.03/08/2024 at 17:55 #201243Angel Barracks

ParticipantLove them. Any WIP shots of your fedges, what materials did you use?
Death to all fanatics!
03/08/2024 at 19:26 #201245Angel Barracks
ModeratorThanks.
No WIPs.The method I use is roughly.
Cut some strips of Foamed PVC sheet (PA Light).
To keep it easy, the strips are the width of my steel rule.
Slightly round the corners and then taper/slope the edges.Apply some texture for mud/dirt.
I like to then rip up some foliage sheets and hot glue it to the strips.
This will sort of act as a support the proper stuff.foliage sheet:
I then spray it all brown, the foliage sheets will show through a bit under the clump foliage, but as it is brown it kind of looks like the branches under the leaves.
Paint the mud/dirt and then get out the PVA and stick on clumps of Woodland Scenics Clump-Foliage Light Green.
Clump Foliage:
Wait to dry.
Then as it never looks chunky enough the first time, add some more of the clump foliage with more PVA.Wait.
Once you are happy with the amount of foliage then apply with a dropper lots of PVA/washing up liquid/water mix.
Drench the buggers with it.Wait for it to dry.
Then do it again.
Then wait for it to dry.
Then spray it with some scenic cement for good measure.
Scenic Glue Cement Spray:
Then I go and matt varnish the dirt/mud.
Then apply a selection of tufts and grasses and leaves.
My core selection of tufts:
Nothing especially difficult, just a bit tedious and slow.
Here are some shots of the hedges old and new.
This is hedges done in 3 separate batches.
By keeping the same method and using the same stuff, no matter when I make them, they should all match/blend together nicely.If you look at the left side of this image you can see the brown foliage sheet showing through.
It looks ok from a distance.11/08/2024 at 08:56 #201438Kitfox
ParticipantThanks Mike, really nice work. I wish I had half of your patience and creativity. I’ve never come across foliage sheets before, might have to give this a try some time.
Death to all fanatics!

It sits on the north road from Heiligsheld, manned normally by 2 men from the Counts fortified manor.
