    Thank you! It was also very fun to make. now just the daunting task to paint it, without spoiling the walls :confused:

    @Imrahil how long hasdid it take from tart to where you are now with that? Such a tidy job and what it is speaks clearly for it self even at this point.

    (I mean, the whole thing)

    Ah that is a tough one. There is time invested physically and mentally, not always both at the same time. The walls where pretty quick developed, but then painting was going on slowly (bit by bit for the little time I had to spare).
    The lower floor was quite time consuming perhaps 5 hours over divided over 2 weeks.
    The upper floor and stairs I prepared mentally before executing it in one evening.

    Overall I think this one has me around the 12 hours at the moment.(mostly a guesstimation)

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Last night I finally had some time to physically hobby. But all my current projects are stored in boxes because of the bathroom remodelling.

    So I had to start a new one :angelic:

    An easy one this time and quick to build. I reused already printed paper sheets and some round paper coffee sturrers borrowed from work ;) and a lot of PVA

    20220429_094048.jpg 20220429_093629.jpg 20220429_093658.jpg 20220429_093658.jpg 20220429_093711.jpg 20220429_093736.jpg

    I will probably paint it in some tone of weathered brown or black.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Smart.

    Nice work with the PVA on the paper to make the warping effect.

    Thank you :) I first did the capes on my warriors of Gondor this way and it was very easy to model in shape and it dries pretty sturdy.

    To get back in to the hobby rhythm I decided to paint up these fences.

    It feels good to do some hobbying again :)

    I finished 2 more tents

    20220510_194200.jpg 20220510_194205.jpg

    Also primed them, but ran into a problem. I was out of black primer and the spray spraycap of the grey primer broke off just before I finished priming them. So the top of the tents has no primer on.

    Meanwhile I am developing all new sorts of buildings in my head (and on paper)

    20220513_145719.jpg 20220513_145733.jpg

    The last one is kind of a square building. My idea is to keep the top part removeable. This way it can also function as a little alcove on its own.

    Both still design in progress ;)

    Grrr, Imrahil

    I got around to finishing up the tents for my warcamp. Just in time for tonight's Game Night.

    Here is the first:

    And the third:

    The markings serve as reminder for both which tent it is from and where the opening is supposed to be ;)

    Grrr, Imrahil

    Great work on those tents! How durable are they now that they are completed?

    Thanks!
    The top is very durable, due to the amount of 'beams' attached. The bottom part somewhat... the paper is stiffened but there are only a few supports, so the overall shape is still changable.
    You have to store them delicately.

    Yesterday I had the urge to build new pieces of scenery again, but this building was still standing on the workbench. So I brought it a few stages closer to its completion. (Singling out brixks in brown and blue and then drybrushing all in a light grey)

    20220523_212113.jpg 20220523_212126.jpg 20220523_212137.jpg 20220523_212224.jpg

    Just the roofing to build and paint.

    Grrr, Imrahil
