Been a quiet week on the hobby front,
but I got a bit done.
This is the first
part of my Warlord Games’ Ruined Farmhouse kit. I made it into some sort of
shed or workshop – well, the remains of one long abandoned.

The kit has some
nice details and is mostly modular though I find that there aren’t very many “good”
configurations available, so it looks much like most every other version of
this kit I think. Also has some pretty ugly mold lines that were tough to
remove to the point that I left them completely alone on the main house part of these ruins. The plastic that these models are cast in is not very conducive to mold-line clean up, much like that nasty Restic crap. Regardless, I think it came out okay and should provide some nice hard cover for my Winter board setup.

Hmmmm....I've been eyeing the warlord ruined buildings. Not jazzed to hear they are rough to clean up. Booo. It's pretty awesome how you are managing to get everything in the winter mode for bolt action. I remember planning on doing so for my flames of war stuff and losing interest pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
DeleteTo be honest, I've surprised myself and found I'm really enjoying adding all the snow effects to these pieces.
How many pieces does the kit come in?
ReplyDeleteLooks very cold! I like the Winter theme as well because it’ll make your army supper unique!😀
Quite a few. I have a duplicate kit that I'll do up for some western front games.
DeleteThe plan is to eventually have enough stuff ready to run you through a game!
I have had my eye on that kit for ages for Mordheim. MUST RESIST!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAm sure you'd make it look really pretty as well!
DeleteGood stuff, Dai, This is going to be quite the winter wonderland when all finished. Squad Sergeant Schmidt gives the ruins a nice sense of scale, and its always a delight to see your "Bolt Action" minis in action :-)
ReplyDeleteHeh, thanks Simon. Hes a cheeky sculpt and was my test piece for the whole army.
DeleteHope to have more pics of new stuff up later today.
Very nice. I was tempted to get the village set for my post apocalyptic games. I may have to keep an eye out for a set.
ReplyDeleteThankyou sir. The kit would make for some appropriate postapoc british style houses, given the right amount of weathering/firedamage.
DeleteWell done Dai! I‘m not really a fan of this plastic set, but you’ve done a great job in making it look good.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks! Hope the larger counterpart comes out as well as this one.
DeleteNice looking bunch of ruins, looking forward to your Germans!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain. Currently painting some SS, so keep an eye open for a post soon!
DeleteLooks smashing to me, mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Chris!
