Well, despite my best intentions, I got sucked in to making a Normandie table, as I found myself sick as a dog over Labor Day weekend looking for something to occupy myself with. If I'm honest with myself, this project was greenlit in my mind when I purchased the Sarissa Chateau this summer. It's not that I have anything against the landscape or the pivotal battles fought there during 1944, it's just that I find the terrain rather ubiquitous in 28mm, so I'm setting out to do something a little different.

Nice signs. Those are always hard to do by hand. |

The Farmhouse is very nice, it is from this site: link Looks like a pretty nifty combination of kits. |

How did you do the brick on the chimney, that is very cool! |

@Warlord: Thank you! I had no idea this was from a site. Bricks were done by basecoating with a dark red. I then used a slightly thinned down light grey over the whole thing and wiped off the excess with my figure. I then did a semi-drybrush of medium red over the whole thing, then successively lighter red drybrushes to highlight the edges. Different colored bricks I just painted after. The soot effect was achieved using a couple coats of P3 Armor Wash. |

Well, I finally finished with the remainder of the Normandy table. As I posted earlier this week, all these buildings are scratchbuilt from 3mm MDF cut with a table saw and dremel. Mostly this was an experiment to see if I could produce quality structures without the expense buying laser-cut parts or basic structures and I think it's a resounding success!
