A few WIPs

Love the windmill, and I can´t wait to see the coaching inn painted

Impressive Woodwork! What do you use to cut your balsa? I'm cutting with a Cutter and it never looks so precise like your work... a little bit frustrating.

I just measure them up and use a pair of GW clippers. Then I rough up the ends and edges a bit (like on the gallows).
The woodpanels on the side of the windmill were broken of after they were glued (with double sided tape) to the mill. But this is not regular balsa - its really thin pieces of wood that could be broken of in any shape without any problem. The ends have then been hidden with the vertical piece of wood.

Nothing fancy there

A small update. Ground level is done and varnished.
I removed one of the doors to allow access from both sides on the inn. The door is still whole (not an easy task to cut that out in one piece I might add) and will be place on the floor just inside the inn - as if it had been knocked in.

This time the lighting is MUCH better - the flash really ruins a lot...



I will see if I can get some more stuff done this weekend.

Woohoo!
It's awesome seeing this in progress!

VERY NICE! The woodwork, in particular, looks TERRIFIC. Keep up the GOOD WORK!

Awesome!!

Wow! That is so cool!

very impressive work!!!

Nice work... Looking forward to see the inn and the rest of scenery finished!

Nice looking work, you definitely move quickly on your projects. Quick question sorry if you covered it already. What material and paints did you use on the sails for the windmill? That would look awesome on the sartosa ships I am planning on making.

How did you make the cobbled floor of the last building?

It's the Tabletop World's Town square, very GREAT piece

ChuckyCheese - I used regular linen (sheet) for the cloth on the mill. As for paint I just used cheap acrylics (that I use for all my buildings). I also burned part of the cloth (careful not to set the house on fire).

Anyway.

I finished the first floor of the inn (except for the small roof section).





So far I think its looking pretty good.

I agree, it DOES look very good!

EXCELLENT paint job on a VERY nice model...a WINNING COMBINATION! The woodwork, in particular, looks GREAT. Keep posting your progress; the eventual group shot IS something to look forward to.

Incredible! Is the whole building TW stuff? I think I recognize the fireplace...

very nice piece of terrain. you did very good paint job. and I think that you did excellent job with floors, cause now you can place minis inside the building without a problem . again, painting is awesome!!!!!

WOW!!!
Great paintjob & excellent choice of colors!
We really like how the Inn is turning out!
Please send us the photos once you finish the building(s). We encourage our customers to send us the photos 'cause we are planing to make something like "user gallery" on our website. The ones we like best will be displayed in the gallery for everyone to see. Beneath the picture will be author's name and the name of the country he or she is from.
I can already tell that this one is going to be featured on our site
Looking forward to see the next update!!

Cheers,
Tabletop World

Well the inn is almost done - I just need to fix all the "extras" and add some static grass and green flock on the outside of the building.

Anyway here are a few pictures (thats what ppl want to see )





All in all I have to say that is one cool building Tabletopworld has made. I can't wait to see it with all the extras done.

If I have to be a harsh critic, the only thing that annoyed me a little was that both doors in the inn were closed. That limits the use of the building gameplay-wise (only one entrance - unless you leave a ladder for the balcony outside) - anyway that could be taken care of with a small drill, a Xacto-blade and a little patience .

WTF? I replied here yesterday already? Seems the Forum Ghosts ate my post.

Anyways, let me say again that I totally adore your building! The painting is excellent!

I do wonder though what the problem is with the doors. Just let the minis move through them. It doesn't really matter whether you can remove them or not, no? Still, it is good to point this out as I am sure the guys at TW are always looking to improve their buildings so they will definately appreciate this sort of criticism.

That REALLY turned out TERRIFIC; EXCELLENT choice of colors. VERY, VERY WELL DONE!

i dont have words.... its fantastic

AWESOME WORK!!!
We can't wait to see the final pictures with all the extras, static grass and flock added, so we can steal them for our future gallery project (if you don't mind of course).
We are also very anxious to see what are you going to do with the Guard Tower and Town Square. Judging by the Inn they will turn out great.

Cheers Alex!

They are already finished and you can see them here.
