Exteriors Completed
I finished obsessing over the exterior frames of my four buildings. You can see earlier progress with my base-coats
here in Part 4. I wanted to have each building interesting and so I chose a theme for each that I hope to carry through-out the painting process when I begin to decorate the building interiors. Right now the two large and two small buildings are good enough for general game-play. The interiors are just in case and also for my OCD.
In these series of photos I try to maintain this sequence for each building; corner view, front door, right side, back door, left side.
Large Building A - The Nice One
|
A thing of beauty! Rent or buy now! |
|
All of the door knobs are actually
tiny pronged fasteners. |
|
I don't show it here but all of the chimneys
are painted darker towards the top. |
|
The "Dutch door" at the back is
walnut and chestnut. |
|
Windows that peer into separate
interior partitions. |
Large Building B - The Legacy Fire
|
Something unfortunate happened here? |
|
The front door and window are
boarded up as a result of an old fire.
The building is in poor shape. |
|
This is the back door. |
|
All of the windows are boarded up. |
|
Back of the building. |
Small Building A - Just Old
|
This design has two different exterior paints. |
|
This building has a porch entrance
and a side entrance. Once I get the
foundations painted I'll demonstrate
the arrangement better. |
|
I was sort of sloppy with the white paint
but the effect turned out okay;
looks sort of like glass to me.
I'll change it soon enough. |
|
Chimney here shows the darker top near
the soot. I'm debating making all of my
chimneys taller to be more accurate
but risk becoming more fragile for transport. |
|
The effective back of the building. |
|
Bonus view! I like the emerald tiling
against the yellow and red. |
Small Building B - Squatter's House
|
Front door and a large window. Old wood? |
|
These windows peer into a single room. |
|
There is no rear entry way. |
|
Ack. Tsk. Boarded up window.
We all know what that means; a sure
indicator that this is a hang-out for cultists! |
Very nice looking! I like that you've made them a bit "run down".
ReplyDeleteI like them! The burned out house is the best.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work. I can see plenty of applications for these buildings!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Robert. A few small touch ups and you should be good to go.
ReplyDeleteAre you still thinking about getting some furniture for them?
@DFlynSqrl; thanks. It was a pleasant accident to apply less paint against the black primer coat. Now I know. =)
ReplyDelete@styx; I'm happy that the effect worked out correctly. =)
@Gareth the Grot; I agree and I'm pleased that you can see the possibilities as well. Thanks!
@aggro84; yep. I didn't realize how much more I needed to do for the exterior until I saw this pics in review. I'm going to order some 1/4"-scale (1:48 or 33MM) furniture and see how that works out.
