Building Wargame Terrain by Tony Harwood

The release of the "Building Wargame Terrain" book by Tony Harwood of Dampf's Modelling Page is coming closer. In his book the creator of beautiful Grand Manner houses descibes his techniques for building and painting wargames terrain.
Over at his blog Tony is trying to find out how many interested wargamers and modelers are out there. So if you are seriously considering to buy a copy of the book upon release I suggest you head over there and say so in the comments.

I received my copy of the book yesterday and just put up a review of it on my blog:

It's a great resource for all scratch-builders, so I highly recommend checking it out.

Is there a good tutorial in the book about painting stone brickwork? I'm looking for tutorials on how to paint stone bricks but I'm not finding much out there. I can paint them okay, but I've seen some amazing examples out there and I'd love to know how to do it.

Yep, there are several builds where he covers that sort of stuff. One specifically on stone and one on brick.

Saw this the other day and it looks really cool. Hopefully I'll be able to order it when my next paycheck comes in. If I don't buy minis that is...

I'd love to know how to paint stonework like that. Did you paint that yourself? If so, how?! If not, do you have any links to turtorials to do this kind of awesome paint job? Thanks!

@2many: Sure.

There are many tutorials on the blog. Usually you can just go to the "Scenery" menu item and then click on the building you're interested in. Especially the "Blue Wolf" Coaching Inn and the Burgomeister's Mansion have pretty detailed describtions but there's something regarding the painting in nearly each house's post. To you I'd recommend the Inn and the Town House I linked above.
