And here is the Wooden Church painted up and ready to be plundered by Swedes and other invading nations. The building, like any other from the Wargamer.pl range, pretty much paints itself. It doesn't require any effort to look good as it is well textured and allows for a great result with just a mix of drybrushing and washes. Wish the pictures were better though, but the lightning here at home sucks for taking pictures of large objects – I will take better pictures of this tomorrow down at the club when I demo By Fire & Sword.

That is a fine looking building – and a good size for 15mm figures I think …  ! Phil |

That's gorgeous. I wish someone would do one like this for 25mm. |

Nice work! I am surprised by the arched windows and door on a wooden building, though. Were they common in 17th century Poland? |

That is very nice – and I could see it doing service in other areas of the world too. Perhaps North America for SYW or AWI scenarios (perhaps with whitewashed walls?) – not bang on perhaps but with Swedish immigrants to the Colonies you could make an argument for it, certainly. |

@Skeptic,
The By Fire & Sword guys are very careful with historical research- even when it comes to the terrain so I'm sure they got the architecture right. I've seen a couple of very old churches in Poland from this period and they do look very similar. |

@Anatoli: Thanks, that is interesting! Might whitewash also have been used? |

Not on wooden buildings, if they were made out of stone with plaster on the walls then yes. |
