15mm Ruined shop with passage

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.

Adding detail, to the 15mm Ruined Houses

I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures. Having previously posted about the ruined row of three houses, here is the ruined row of four houses.

Still some work to do on the stonework and half-timbered building.

Adding the detail, to the 15mm Ruined Houses

I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures.

Having given most of the model a basecoat, I am now painting in the details of the ruins, using Citadel Scorched Brown.

Once I have finished painted the ruins, I think I will add some additional detrius, broken beams and so on to add a little more detail.

15mm Ruins

I have some of the 15mm ruins from Ironclad Miniatures.

At this time I am using a few of them to check how certain paints of mine are working out, as well as testing out different colour combinations before I try them on the (more expensive) bigger models.

One of the conclusions I have come to is I do need to replace many of the paints in my collection.

Painting the 15mm Ruined Houses

I have the ruined row of three houses and the ruined row of four houses, from Total Battle Miniatures. Having cleaned the models, I gave the inside of the models a black undercoat and then masked the inside of the windows (with masking tape) before I give the model a white undercoat on the outer side of the model.

I then started on the basecoat of one of the houses that forms part of the building, for the brown I used a Tamiya acrylic. I intend to use a lighter brown for the remainder of the model.

I used a thinned coat of paint, as I will be adding a drybrush and some washes.

Ruined Ground

A week or so ago I mentioned that I bought a couple of wooden buildings from 4Ground. I’ve always liked the look of the 28mm ruins so was pleased to find out today that 4Ground have released some ruined 15mm buildings.

Some are better than others, but they do look good, they do need some rubble though to add realism.

Housing Crisis…

I mentioned a few days ago that Battlefront were releasing another house in their series, the Dunkirk House, which on their website looks like this.

Dunkirk House

Mine has arrived and it looks nothing like that!
It looks exactly like the (proposed) Antwerp House!

So what’s going on then?

I can understand that when they first thought of releasing the houses they made mock-ups on the boxes and houses and when production started they may have to change them from what they planned. However now they are in production and been sold, why aren’t they showing the actual model they are selling over the proposed one.

No idea.

Still it’s a nice house.
