Finished Terrain

Nice Von Kurst! I hadn't been to the website for a while. I was now checking the tutorial on the Tudor's row houses. Man, what a lovely project!

Zab, do you mind if I steal some of your ideas?

 Very much so! That's the main reason I haven't updated much here, I've been very busy keeping the site up to date, and finishing a new project:

The Old Stable: (for those who haven't seen it on the site yet)



















As for the Tudor Row Houses, I have more updates, just haven't had time to get them online.  I'm working pretty hard to get this one done sooner rather than later.  This one has been sitting on my bench for faaaaaaar too long. These buildings are a diorama for my father, but I am really excited by the potential, and am seriously planning some kind of modular city using the same ideas and techniques. I've been inspired by a lot of the city stuff I've seen here and am keen to try my own hand at it.

Go wild! Sincerest form of flattery and all that stuff.  I wouldn't put it out there if I didn't want others to make what they can of it.

Fantastic work! And good to see some uraken minis too!

The Old Stable is a FANTASTIC piece; the level of modeling & brushwork is EXCEPTIONAL. It reminds me of one of the haunts of my boyhood. VERY WELL DONE!  

Lovely use of colours, textures and style! Super realistic, love it!

Are you actually making these to then use them as terrain for gaming? Do you have something like a big board where you place all of these creations?

Joao

really good!!!!

Some yes, and others no. The stable is built for gaming purposes, I hope it will be pretty playable. I've also played quite a few times on the river board, and the objective markers were built specifically for games as well.

I have a series of 2x2 boards that can be laid out in various combinations. I can then lay different terrain pieces to make a nice battlefield. A lot of the pieces I play with on those boards are some of my older earlier pieces that I haven't posted.

The Badger's Den is not really playable, so that one is out. Also, I haven't played much in the last 2 years, so some of my more recent stuff hasn't had a chance to hit the table yet. I will admit that my chief concern in many of the projects I build now don't always take playability into account as much as they should.  

How about those Tudor houses!

There is more coming soon, I promise! My winter break turned out to be much more busy than I thought, so I didn't make nearly the progress I wanted. The roofs are coming very soon (maybe today even if I can get away from the kids for a bit).

Nice work on the roofs and Chimneys.

Thanks for keeping us updated Von Kurst! Wow, those Tudor Houses are some of the best things I've ever seen!

This set up is lush. Must make for some lavish adventurer's gatherings.

You created fantastic scenery. It is breathtaking awesome.
