Work In Progress

I started making a country estate for a Napoleonic Peninsular Campaign. I really had no idea of what I was doing but I had some buildings to work with. I have the Impudent Mortal starter village. I grabbed two of the buildings and some old motherboard material and started work.

You can see my start here. I used some foam board for the walls to finish off the compound. I also used it to create a portico on the two story building. Eventually that will get a tile roof over it.

Today I worked a little more on it and added some lintels to the windows and started to frame out the doors that you will be able to see. I also added a small horse shed to the corner. Then I did the tedious task of making coping stones for the tops of the walls. I was greatly inspired by the TooFatLardies blog with the Amazing work Rich is doing in 28mm. I am not going to round corners in mine as the stones are so small as it is.

Next steps are to plaster the whole thing and put some sand on the bases. Lets see if I can get away with this tonight.

    1. Thank you. It is coming along. I partially plastered the two story building last night. still have 3 more sides to go on it. At this scale it is a bit fiddly.
