Despite doing 4 hours overtime each day this and next week I have managed to snatch a little painting time. (Phah! Who needs sleep when the paint brush is calling!) These are two 15mm buildings from FRONTLINE WARGAMING and go together with another I showed about 10 days ago. Two very versatile buildings which will be used for both my AK republic armies and my 15mm Apache's. As Tamsin has pointed out they could also work for her Pirates and they would suit quite a variety of other periods or locations as well. They are single piece castings which would mean a lot of repetition if you wanted to do any large towns, but this is always the case with wargames terrain that is bought and not made. There are a couple more in the range, a 2 storey building and another with a domed roof. This is sufficient for me for the moment, but I can see further purchases in the future.
They have been a joy to paint, I have literally used my old water from cleaning my brushes (Thank goodness I was not currently painting BLUE!) Applied it before I went to bed and then having slept and returned from work it was dry, so I repeated the process. Once I Had them sufficiently "Grubby" It was then just picking out the details. Bish Bash Bosh....job done. Not really a lot more to say about them I think they will fit into my AK republic games very well which is where I suspect they will get there first outing.... although no plans for that on the horizon just yet.
That's todays Quick post, thanks for reading. Take care and I shall try to squeeze another one out on Saturday! All the best Clint.
Nice work Clint. 15mm still a scale i have to really look into. Just not found the right game yet to make it into that scale.
ReplyDeleteSo many choices for rules these days Don't rush getting into a new scale, when you find the right rules it will all follow very quickly, At least that's my experience.
Deletevery nice mate, can't fault these at all, a litle 'grubby' is ideal for these type of buildings.
ReplyDeleteEspecially for a wild west town! Keep going on yours it's looking great.
DeleteGreat looking buildings, may be on our tables soon!
ReplyDeletePhil.
Nice one Phil I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
DeleteOh I say these are a bit good; must get some of these in the larger scale.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen his larger ones, I was not even sure he'd made any. But If they look like these I would recommend them.
DeleteI need to get some Front line buildings for my Sudan campaign.
ReplyDeleteTim says he's at the club this Sunday so grab a chat with him then) I am sure he can sort something out.
DeleteThey look really nice mate. Perhaps you could change the outlines of duplicates perhaps add tables or canopy's to the sides.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mate. A top notch idea, I shall do should I need to later on but for now I don't have the need.
