From MattW: Final Countdown (83 Points)

 Final Countdown 

Completing the last bits I can before the challenge ends …. I have surpassed my point goal my quite a lot this year so a very productive challenge for me. A big congratulations to all of those who have entered the challenge and completed your personal goals. 

Final building for the challenge for me 28mm building from Tabletop Workshop plastic buildings, I have added plaster then stippled with a toothbrush, sanded flat then to remove the peaks, before painting. This will join my medieval city build this year. 

28mm building 10 points 

Next up some 20mm Dutch, a Revell plastic wagon and Early War Miniature crewman, a welcome addition to my supply units. 

20mm Dutch staff car, a simple repaint of a Diecast car with a SHQ driver and officer. 

20mm Belgian staff car, again a repaint of a Diecast vehicle

20mm three vehicles @ 15 = 45 points

20mm 7 figures @ 4 = 28 points 

Total points 83

Cheers

Matt

Wonderful work Matt and delighted to hear that you've had a good Challenge! I love how you made that medieval building your own with the addition of the plaster - very nice. I also like all the 20mm WWII kit. It's such a great scale for this period, with so much available in kits and diecast. The Dutch staff is inspired.

Well done, sir!

From MattW: medieval bits! (49 points)

 Medieval bits 

First up a few buildings from Tabletop World plastic 28mm range to add to my medieval building collection. 

I spackle finish (pre mixed plaster) the gaps between the collombage. I mask the collombage (paint on mask all) then add the plaster, let set a little, go back and then dapple with a tooth brush to give it texture and to hide the tabs that they come with. I then undercoat and paint with artist acrylics , then add washes etc. I have also done some interior work as I can then use them for skirmish gaming. When I complete my castle build later this year they will be put on village bases that slot onto the castle board for instant city scape. 

Farm manor and outbuildings 

Terrain x 3 pieces  14 points 

Main building 4 inches x 4 x 5.5 inches

Stable 3 x 4 x 4 

Outbuilding 3 x 4 x 4 

Then a siege engine, a mix of foundry and mirliton miniatures (foundry crew). This has been sitting around since my last medieval entry as I wanted to add a counterweight for the stone and have my crew reloading it or pulling it as the lever is not really correct to my engineering mind, I eventually just gave up and made the counterweight and added cordage. 

28mm Siege artillery and and two crew 20 points

Finally a mounted and dismounted personality, closer to renaissance than medieval really from the Perry WOTR range.

28mm mounted and dismounted miniatures 15 points

Cheers

Nice work for your second post of the day, Matt.

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but your points claims are off somewhat. The buildings come out as 150 cubic inches, which is 0.7 terrain cubes, so 14 points. And the siege engine is a crew served weapon, so that's 10 points rather than 15.
