"Scratchbuilt Normandy Farmhouse terrain at Strange Vistas" Topic

Having finished one building for one friend, I'm building another building for another. Coyote over at the General's Tent wanted a Normandy farmhouse that could do double duty for both his Napoleonics and his WW2 wargaming, so I went to work. You can follow my progress here:

There's also LED-lit sci-fi pieces and a couple of painting miniatures there too.

Looks really neat so far…

I am very curious how it is going to turn out, thanks for sharing – I have been thinking about donig a brick building – will you be adding the stucco effect on it?.

Have you ever seen these?

I built a bunch of these for our 28mm WWII games, lights in them would be very cool though!

Here is a link to one of the games:

I have been thinking about placing the buildings on bases so I can do like mini Dioramas, how do you mount yours?

I really love to build terrain, it is passion!

Thanks again for the ideas.

It looks labor intensive, but I look forward to seeing the finished product on of these days.

"labor intensive" for the man who makes 40+ figure single units for his SYW games…

It's going quicker than I thought, mostly because between all the windows and the door, there's less exterior wall space than one might thing. My biggest problem is needing a certain brick, not having it, and then having to wait many hours to get it from a cast of the mold.

I realize that I could just use brick-textured plasticard, but I like building things with my hands slowly and painstakingly.

It's looking really good though.
