Among my smaller projects were some buildings that I had prepped (but not painted) for AHPC IX, so I decided to paint them.
A day or so later, here are the final results.
10mm "Black Powder Era" Buildings
01/04/2020 Edit - actually, they are 6mm - no wonder they were so fiddly to paint!
These will be used as terrain for my 15mm Seven Years War gaming.
15mm Adobe Buildings
01/04/2020 Edit - actually, they are 10mm!
I bought these to use with my North African/Middle Eastern ancients armies.
The buildings are all from Timecast. For scoring, they come out as 8 x 6 x 1.5 inches = 72 cubic inches, so 1/3 of a cube, which rounding up gives me 7 points for these (unless whoever minions this post takes pity on me and gives extra for all that tiny "half-wood" detailing I've had to paint).

"Having painted all of the figures I had planned to paint..." Tamsin, this is a curious use of the English language...I recognize the individual words, but the overall concept together makes no sense...that implies you, like, "finished" something...how can that happen in this hobby?
Well, regardless of these strange words and concepts, the buildings look great! Consistent with the excellent standard we have all come to expect from you. Those ones up at the top in particular are awesome, and would look perfect with my 10mm Franco-Prussian War project as well...that reminds me, I should probably paint more of that stuff...
While I hesitate to quibble at your calculations, when I fiddled with the scoring, it told me "8" because I think you have just a slight bit more than 1/3 of a cube here. So eight points it shall be, as one cannot argue with Miles' spreadsheet without a possible visit from a Deep One.

Finished everything I had prepped? What madness is that?! Lovely finish on the buildings!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Lovely looking BUAs Tamsin. Obviously you need to be better prepped in this time of crisis.
ReplyDeleteLovely work Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin. I like the blue slate roofs.
ReplyDelete'...a week off after Friday'? Aren't you retired? Like, 'every day is a day off' retired?
These are lovely, Tamsin. Even 8 points seems a little mean for such nice buildings.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work Tamsin! Those Black Powder era buildings should work equally well for the Fall of the Reich if you’re so inclined *nudge*
ReplyDeletevery nice buildings, really like the church
ReplyDeletethese are lovely
ReplyDelete@ Greg - thanks! Please note that I did not say "I have painted all the minis", just what had been planned to get me to 1300 points without bonuses. :)
ReplyDelete@ Iain - cheers! Not everything I had prepped, just what I had planned to paint. :)
@ Peter D - thanks! The thing is that I wasn't planning on a high output this year. :)
@ AdamC - cheers! :)
@ Curt - thanks! A week off from painting! I've got lots of reading to catch up on. :)
@ Noel - cheers! It does seem very low when you consider how much detail there is to paint. :)
@ Nick - thanks! There are many uses the European buildings can be put to. :)
@ John - cheers! :)
@ Martin - thanks! :)
Very impressive township!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteLove the buildings - Cheers Jez
ReplyDeleteCheers! :)
DeleteExcellent brushwork Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteFantastic buildings, Tamsin - they will, without any doubt, grace any battlefield! I particularly love the German church, topped with gilded tower. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteTop work, send a copy to Barrie and Mark at Timecast too please.
ReplyDelete@ Ray - cheers! :)
ReplyDelete@ Sidney - thanks! They've been sitting unpainted for a few years, so it was about time I go them done. :)
@ Will - cheers! I'll send them pics at some point, if I remember! :)
