These are lovely little pieces, and you haven't skimped on them at all- the red brick house in particular is a delight. Your colour choices are charming. I like the flowers and your wood effect. Have 10 bonus points!

  1. Very nice and useful houses, unfortunately not many points. I guess terrain painting only pays off, when painting buildings size of 6x6x6. :) If you paint smaller houses, the volume is the same, but the surface is much larger.

  2. Excellent looking terrain, good to have, even if the points don't really reflect it!

  5. Nice bit of work, Howard! I like the aged wood and subtle weathering. The brick house is indeed a treat. I seem to always put off terrain till the last. Even now I have a tote filled with primered things and barely a completed battlefield to show! ;)

  6. Yes, this is where the points system sort of lets us down. These are wonderful, Howard. I really like the row houses.

  10. They look absolutely great and I think you have been overly modest with your points claim. Heck, even treating each building as a 25mm figure would have netted you 70 points! Great collection of buildings!
