The final stages of my Tabletop World windmill model will include adding several scenic elements to give the piece a bit more character. I'm using a combination of Stronghold Terrain's resin animal set and some spare barrels and sacks from Tabletop World and other sources. Stronhold Terrain's animal set has proven to be very useful. I used one of the dogs and cats as well as some of the rats on another Tabletop model (their townhouses). For the windmill I decided to use the sitting up dog and one of the bird's nests:
Here is the complete group of elements I'm using: link I'm departing from my usual method of priming everything in black and this time primed everything in white. I've been shifting over to wanting to use washes more as well as having brighter color tones on some models. My old style of painting a dog for example in a darker basecoat color and then using a lighter color for a drybrush highlight. This time I'm going to try to go the opposite way and use a brighter basecoat and then use washes to provide the shading. |

Nice looking animals! I always try to have at least one type of animal in a scenario. IMHO it adds a dimension of character not too often seen in a game. Here are the Three Amigos and Bingo the mutt in search of an alien space ship.
Bingo sniffs out the UFO.
Bingo climbs to the top of a pile of forest debris and gets the Amigo's attention by barking.
I've got a set of easy rules for terriers and German Shepherds. Let me know if you'd like a set of them. Capt. Zeelow |

Wow, great looking game, I love the forest scenery! |

I have painted the dog, bird's nest, and a barrel and some sacks. I am currently working on texturing the windmill's base and will then add these elements to its base. Some pics: link

Hey, Baranovich: The photos above were made primarily for a blog. But when I 'am telling a story about the lives of the characters in these mini short stories, I often "roll the dice" to see what direction the plotting of the tale will take. Keep up the good work…and let the dogs out! |

I made these nests using the dessicent balls found some times in packaging to remove humidity.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out! @Legion 4, Really great idea using those little dessicant balls for nests! |

Yes, I was pretty pleased with the results too ! So I wanted to be sure to share the idea. I added a dragon hatching to this one later ! [URL=http://s48.photobucket.com/user/Legion4/media/STARGATES%20PLUS/DSCF4368.jpg.html]

That is right up my alley. I often use the Busch Kleintierset to add birds, butteflies, snakes, lizards etc. to a terrain piece.
