A short post on two buildings I quickly painted up for possible use in some games this coming weekend. They are both, I believe, fairly old kits and so fit in with the old-school vibe of some of my armies.
And, from the other side.
The two craters in the foreground were made from surplus Milliput and had been sat on the painting desk getting ignored for some time, so, got included in this painting batch.
To give an idea of scale, here's the church again with some 20mm Hinton Hunt marching past.
The church has come out a bit duller than intended. I deliberately didn't paint it white, as white buildings always glare under flash photography, but I may have overdone it. I got the church ready-made off eBay and don't know who manufactured this kit and suspect it may be a kit bash made up from several different models.
The church is just resting on the base, which I detached before painting, as I'm intending to build an enclosure for it within which defending troops can be placed.
Although the windmill, by Dapol, is intended for smaller figures it still works with these (IMO). The windmill itself also works; the sails turn and so does the upper wooden building which rotates on top of the lower brick structure.
And finally, the windmill again, this time with a 25mm Hinchliffe ECW command group (actually I believe the preacher is an Essex Miniatures).

Two very nice and very handy buildings, both look great but I must admit I do really like the church, very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I wouldn't normally buy a kit that someone else made up but the church just looked such a handy size and rather pretty.
DeleteNice sized church, that you've finished really well and the Dapol windmill looks great, I wasn't sure if it would work with 25/28mm figures but clearly it does, funnily enough I've just painted the Dapol church , albiet with a few adjustments!

Thanks, it's hit and miss whether sub-scale buildings work with bigger figures - I think a element of characterisation / cartoon helps.
