"Neo classical bolt action ruined mansion" Topic

" I signed up to Dave Stones (Wargames Terrain blog) terrain challenge to try and get some stuff that's been hanging around for ages done. This building has been a long time in the making . The facade was built for 40k so that means built in the 20th century , the parquet floor and stairs were built for a college project over 35 years ago, each piece individually cut and then stained with shoe polish! It's based on a piece of hardboard the floorboards on the first floor were added one fathers day with my daughter, coffee stirrers of course Mark! The brickwork is 1/35 tamiya plastic, where it hits the foamboard I added a bit of ready mixed filler to join them together and a bit on the inside and outside of the brickwork as plaster/ render. The gates and railings at the front are from Rendra. The mix of scales is funny 1/56 for the railings, heroic for the facade, 1/35 for the brickwork and 1/25 for the parquet and stairs but I think that Abby the Frankenstein building is just about alright! It's a kind of shrunk down mansion, it should really be bigger but even for skirmish gaming I think it's as big as I want to go…"

Whatever were they firing at that building in Napoleonic times to do such damage? Certainly knocked the stuffing out of it. not to mention the expected heaps of rubble and debris! It would be right for Ridley you know who's film

Maybe it collapsed some years ago in an earthquake and the rubble has been scavenged for new buildings :~}

Maybe it was a powder depot and blow up… (smile)

I'd say H.U.D. housing in downtown Cleveland.

Great painting to be sure.

Ha!…
