You guys are simply amazing.

I notice on your website (which has been redesigned, right?) that older buildings like the Inn and the Blacksmith's Forge have been archived and that they are no longer available.

Will you be making them available in the future? These are some fantastic buildings!

Unfortunately most of our older models had to go. We acquired new vacuum casting machine and our casting technique has changed, making our old molds useless. It would take way to much time, effort and money to make new molds for those models. We decided that it is better for us to concentrate on making new and even better stuff.

Awesome! Simply awesome! You never cease to amaze me...

As much as I love the new tower (it is mind-blowing) the fact that the old buildings are no longer available is a crying shame. I'm glad I got mine while I could. Well, now they are precious rare OOP models...

Very sad to hear that the old models are gone. I was considering ordering some when I had the money for it.

The new stuff looks amazing though.

That truely is impressive. Just wondering how many man hours go into a product like that just for the initial build. Not counting casting time and painting..

Those "old" buildings where amazing already... but you guys managed to take it up another level!!!
Really love the new watchtower. But have no use for it at the moment. But the interiur is amazing as well (table's, cart, wheels etc.)...

So i was wondering if you guys will sell those without the whole package?

That's true, also glad i ordered the Inn and blacksmith already... just hoping the new buildings fit well with them!!!

Thanks guys!

@ Cianty - Still waiting to see what will you do with our Blacksmith's Forge.

@ Horned Rat - We don't even count the hours, it's better not to know.

@SeiFeR-NL - For now, we don't sell accessories separately, but we plan to do so in the future. Don't worry, the new models will go very well with old ones.


Here is a small update. We finished our first landscape feature, a hill:




Tell us what you think.

Looks great!!! It's supposed to go under the new watchtower right?

Keep up the good work!

I think that is one of the best pre-made gaming hills I have seen. Nice work.

Wow, stunning new buildings!

Too bad the great ruined coaching inn is OOP

Thanks guys!!

We decided to share with you the painting process of our new guard tower. We will update you every few days as the project evolves.
We want to give our building a very naturalistic look and so far we are very happy with the result.
The photos are not best quality (the colors are a bit pale) 'cause I forgot the equipment in the studio, but they are good enough to show the progress on the building.

Side view:



Stonework:





Next: we will add some details around the tower and start painting stone stairs for the inside.

Tell us your thoughts.

Very nice, very nice! This could easily be a very detailed scale model of an existing ruin. The colours feel nice and cold and the texture is remarkable!

I would personally add some climbing plants to the sides of the way. Not too much, but they seem a little too clean imo.

Then again, this piece is truly remarkable!

Thanks man!

That's a good idea. We will think about that.

Most impressive! I love the paintjob on the stonework so far, care to share your recipe?

I really love this piece, and I love the fact that the new versions even has interior! Perfect for Mordheim, I'm thinking of ordering one soon - the amount of detail is simply stunning!

As always, I love the stones. This tower looks so realistic that if I wouldn't know it's "only" another great work of yours, I would think it's a real tower.

Thanx man!
I get this question a lot, and I always find it hard to answer it. When I paint stones I go by the feeling...it really depends. There are around 4-6 drybrushing stages and 2-4 washing stages when I paint stone. I can tell you which colors I use most often: chaos black, scorched brown, bubonic brown, bleached bone, skull white, catachan green, goblin green and bubonic brown (last three I use for painting moss). The colors I mentioned are most often used mixed together in various combinations and different ratios.

Thank you very much! That is a big compliment.

I really love the stone work on your buildings, they always impress me. You just can't get this look carving foam or even plaster for that matter. It really makes it stand out.

You ever think of making a modular system with this style of walls that might allow for more personalized creations?

Yeah, we were thinking about something like that...time is the only issue. We have a lot of ideas but not enough time to bring them all to life.

Alright, here are some shots of the details surrounding the tower:









Interior of the ground floor of the tower is also finished - pictures coming soon.

The first floor of the stone tower is up next:

I find it hard not to swear when I look at this thread. In a positive delighted way of course. I wasn't going to clutter up the thread with compliments every time you guys update, but it really just gets better and better.

*edit*
I love how the stones slot into each section and the stone texture is just aces.

I can identify with having more ideas than time will permit completing. HOWEVER, it looks like you are making FINE use of the time you have...VERY CREATIVE & WONDERFULLY DETAILED PIECE! VERY WELL DONE!!

Thank you guys for your great comments!

Time for an update:
First floor of the tower is almost finished, we just need to add some grass between the stone blocks:







Ground floor interior, still missing some details:



First floor interior, no details yet:



Next we are going to paint the details (barrels, wooden stairs, hatch...) for ground and first floor interior, and 8 huge consoles which hold the guard rooms on the second floor.
