Under Construction Studio: Last challenge I managed to finish two Sarissa ruined European buildings and realized I had two more flats. This realization came as I ogled some cabins for FIW and my inner hobby voice commented "you said you would not buy more houses with other flats in the hobby cave".
Only one way to fix that.
Over the weekend I broke the seal on the remaining two ruined flats and proceeded to construct these little beasts. They are quite different to build as the buildings consist of 6 sections with 3 tiers. They are amazing as the brick work and planking all fit together (with a little force). One, I rattle canned the flats and added brush work after gluing the bugger together. The Second I put together and rattle canned the constructed building and did some distressing with the every handy make up brush. I'm not sure which works better. As the build is rather tedious I think four is enough.
The First Build:
I'm going for speed and a distressed look.
Second build:
The two side by side with a German battalion headquarters setting up shop for scale.
The completed 4 building block ready for action. (only two challenges to complete) Huzzah!
Added some color to the doors and some fallen brick and debris. Couldn't resist putting some battalion support in front while I had them out. The maps are out as Hauptmann Fritz and Neidermeir attempt to convince Oberstleutnant Hauk to push on to better accommodations.
Buildings are 7x7x4 so a cube per = 40 pts
Under Construstion Studio = 20 pts
Total for the week 60 pts
Everybody have a good week and stay safe.
Minion Miles: Love the distress look and the modular nature of the buildings. Plus you get the 1 point dog bonus!
Great fit for the Under Construction Studio!

ReplyDeleteI proper love a Sarissa kit, they are great quality. Great work here.
ReplyDeleteCan’t comment on the speed, but the distressed look is a win!
ReplyDeleteUnder construction on two fronts. Looking very good too!
ReplyDeleteExcellent doggos
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous set of ruins! I like your addition of rubble and assorted wreckage to fit the setting. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThose are so good that it hardly seems right to use the word ruin🤣
ReplyDeleteAn impressive set of ruins Bruce (an oxymoron or what?).
ReplyDeleteGood looking dogs and lovely ruins!
