From PeteF: North American Farmhouse (12 Points)



One of the projects I'm working on is Cowpens/Wetzel's Mill so the troops need some North American scenery to fight around. This is Sarissa's North American Farmhouse with Stone Chimney. It measures about 4"x4"x3". My maths is a little shakey but if you balanced it on one corner it could fill a 6" cube (20 points!). Alternatively it's worth 7 points based on volume and rounding up.


I had trouble getting the effect I wanted with the roof - and might need to ink or wash all the edges of the shingles to make them stand out a bit more. The north side got some light moss.



There could be a monster in here - maybe a Blair Witch. Or a redcoat.

'The Blair Witch Redcoat House'. I like it. 

Great job on your debut entry, Pete! The raw look of the shingles and clapboard siding really gives the house that American Frontier look. I also like the stone effect of the chimney. 4x4x3? Really? It looks larger than that. Let's be generous and go with 12 points then.

Welcome to the Challenge, Pete!

  6. Looking good Pete! As you said, some wash around the edges of the shingles and it‘d look even better.
