The first work in progress pictures of the Haraker church build...
The basic structure was made of fomacore with added texture paper on the outerwalls to get it look like natural stones and bricks.
The added plastic parts have been in my bitbox for some while, door and windows are Games Workshop...
...and the corner stones are from the Warlord ruined farmhouse set.
Black Perry box just to hold the parts together while the PVA dry.
By the way...I will not build the interior, so no lift of roof...
...more pictures as the work progress...
Looking excellent so far! But no lift-off roof?! What were you thinking?! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat are the dimensions?
... ;)
Deleteabout 9x18cm but I will place the churche on a base about 40x50cm with a walled graveyard.
That textured paper works a treat Michael. For my church I'm thinking a wooden structure, may be with a bit of stone, but not sure yet. I need to do a bit more research.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Michael, all the different pieces are fitting together perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLooking very good - like the different textures - nice work.
ReplyDeleteThat already looks superb!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Michael! That textured paper looks very effective!
ReplyDeleteExcellent start and good to see another Perry miniatures box ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis will be a great addition to your collection. Can see it applied to a very broad time line of history. Perfect for any Scandinavian battle fields.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive work!
ReplyDeleteYou are a master of the world building, Michael. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteGreat work. That is just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteVery Nice
ReplyDeleteLooks very good. Tip..one way of Holding the walls together while they are drying, Pins or toothpicks. The Pins you can reuse, but with the toothpicks, break the tips off (about a third of the length) and push it fully in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the toothpick tip Paul, havent used them before, will try it out.
DeleteExcellent work! Is there anything you can't build from scratch? ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat work! The texture paper is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMichael, what is the texture paper? I have used plastic card and just bought some for a building im doing just now but i have never seen paper.
ReplyDeleteI´m not realy sure about the english word for it might be: Paintable Wallpaper, I found one that could be used as small stones and one that was "Bricks", but the swedish shop that had them a year ago dosen´t any more.
Deletefound this webpage that might have, I havent looked throught all the differnet oner...
