15mm Ruined Shop with Passage

Though not quite where I want the 15mm Ruined Shop with Passage, I wanted to check that the process I was planning or my 15mm buildings was going to look effective, so I gave the ruined end of the model a a wash of Citadel Shade: Agrax Earthshade.

I am quite pleased with the end result with using the wash, the roof tiles look a lot better, as I did that that the Terracotta was a little too bright when I first painted the roof that colour.

Having undercoated the Total Battle Miniatures 15mm ruined shop with passage I then added a base coat to cover the rubble and the broken parts of the walls.

I will then paint some of the detail before giving the model a wash using a brown wash.

I intend to add more debris, using wood and plasticard, as well as some printed signs and posters.

15mm Ruined Shop with Passage

I already have two of the ruined buildings from the Total Battle Miniatures range of Western Europe 15mm buildings, the ruined three houses and ruined four houses. I was lucky enough to get two more for my birthday from Simon, thank you. He gave me the ruined cafe and ruined shop with passage.

The ruined shop with passage is a nice model, though because it is ruined, you wouldn’t realise that there was a passage.

This is the photograph from the manufacturer.

And here is the unruined version.

It’s a nice casting with clean detail and looks very effective.

I will probably use a similar method to the one I used with the other ruins. After washing the resin I will give the model a white undercoat and then use a combination of washing and drybrushing to bring out the detail.

The first stage after washing the resin will be to remove the mould lubricant and then clean the flash from the casting, especially the windows and the doors.

The reason of course is that Total Battle Miniatures range has both the complete building as well as the ruined building in their range.

The model comes with a separate piece of floor, not sure if I will use it, or build a ruined floor using some scrap wood.

I now have four ruins, but I think I would like to get some non-ruined buildings to complement the ruins. From photographs of Normandy in 1944, you can see in some villages and towns, whilst some houses were ruined, alongside were others that didn’t even look damaged.
