From Paul O'G: Ramshackle Barn at Hawkins' Hill (50 Points)

Some years ago I was doing a bunch of pulp gaming with some mates- lots of fun! So when Renedra released their plastic Ramshackle Barn kit in 2013 I jumped on board for a "Dunwhich Horror" style game.  I built it and undercoated but never got to doing it during AHPC IV that year, after which it languished forgotten during an overseas posting.  In the darkness of a packing box, it bided its time...


I discovered said artefact when moving house recently and decided it needed some love, so here it is: a barn useable for almost any period but especially good for WW2 Northern Europe.  Great to get it done after years of languishing!


This submission is for the Hawkins Hill map location, which requires "Submit something you prepared for Challenge 7 or earlier " - done!


That is a single terrain cube for 20 points plus 30 points for the map location.

Great work Paul. What a combo...finishing a long-neglected project AND getting some nice terrain done. This looks great, what a cool kit.  I had no idea Renedra did such interesting buildings. Also have to say the basing is well done and adds a lot to the finished piece.  

50 points for you Paul.  Great job.

    Great looking building, the weathering is superb. Greg, you can see the Renedra terrain kits vis the Perry’s, look in their plastic kit section.

    Wonderful painting on this ramshackle barn, very eerie and just perfect for a return to Dunwich. A fine entry to the hill

    You've got the look of the wood just right!

    Excellent work.

    Love this Paul. What was your recipe for doing the woodwork? I can just imagine Old Whateley emerging from the barn with a languid tentacle in the shadows of the door. :)

      Thanks mate. To be honest, I knew I didnt want fresh brown or old grey so I just went with a bunch of those colours and went for a mottled look through drybrushing with no specific recipe!

    Really nice colours- somethinng Cthulhuesque could be lurking in the Northwest Europe front...
