A couple more buildings ....

I've added a couple more buildings to my scenic stock. These are card buildings made by Keranova, from their Medieval Town range. The parts slot together and a number of small tabs protrude from the walls and roofs; I removed the tabs, filled in any gaps and painted the detail back in - for the roofs I covered them in some tile effect paper sheet.

I think thats all for new buildings for downtown Wittenberg for a while ...😀

Mischievous cats ....

 The palace cats have been mischievous lately....

Trying out the new Kings and Queens new thrones, they are quickly shooed away by one of the palace staff...

after being ejected from their new found comfy chairs, they joined in with an inspection of the palace guard ...

Another river bridging set ....

 I've had one pontoon bridge set for a long while; I made an alternate deck and some boats out of cardboard a couple of years back for a bridge of boats look, re-using the ramps form the pontoon set.

I thought it would be nice to have two full sets, so I made up two new ramps from cardboard; using thin card strips for the planking, hibachi skewers for the wooden stakes plus a dusting of sand - then painted to match the first set

The Monrovian army on manouvres, crossing a tributary of the river Oudear.....(new ramps and card deck/boats at the front)

Two more houses ......

 I've recently added a couple more new buildings to the scenics... fiddly to paint but worth the effort :)

they are resin ones from Steve Barber Miniatures. They need to be assembled, each floor and the roof is a separate casting.

Tweaking some old buildings ...

1. An old HO plastic kit house

It didn't really fit in when used as bottom part is way out of scale for 28mm figures - it was usually relegated to the background.

The roof surface smoothed and covered with thin cardboard, new ground floor shell was made from thicker cardboard. Tile plus stone effect paper sheets used along with some printed doors and windows - it now looks the biz :)

2. A pottery building - 

Never have been satisfied with the chimney, repainted it grey and added some chimney pots to the top. Also to spruce it up a bit I put some stone effect paper on the sides and back.
