From DarrellH Battle of Shrewsbury 1069; Interior Buildings II

Darrell H

Buildings are roughly 5" x 4" and  3.4" x 3" so 30pts

This time just a quick post with a couple of Gripping Beast resin pieces from their Dark Ages range I have completed for the Sherwsbury 1069 game which all going well will be at Partizan II in October this year. Again, these pieces were bought many years ago and I just never got around to painting them up. They are pretty basic castings and solid pieces but this does not diminish the aesthetic look and will not hinder the game.

The upright wooden superstructure and outer structure of the pieces were painted using a craft paint that is more or less the equivalent of Vallejo Model Colour German Cammo Black Brown (perhaps a little lighter) and highlighted up using craft paint creams and finally with Vallajo Model Colour Ivory.

The thatching was done in exactly the same way but starting with a craft paint of a lighter hue and highlighted up a few steps higher in tone than that of the wood.




these are very nice, Shrewsbury is starting to look like a nice place to fight a battle. It's about 1.5 cubes so 30 pts

  2. Nice work again. I want to see this stuff on table, even if it’s only a corner of Shrewsbury.

      Might be popping a couple of Reconquista units if for nothing else just to cheer up my painting table! :>)
