Hi. You know how sometimes you start something. You’re very excited at first at the prospect of even the starting this thing in the first place. Your loved ones even encourage this endeavor, albeit, sometimes I feel like that person secretly doesn’t want me to continue. You go “all out” – at least all out in a sense that you make time for it amongst your other responsibilities like managing the household, chauffeuring family members, maintaining the environment and grounds, etc. Then, the hobby that you love get’s placed on the back-burner and you are too tired or less motivated at midnight to make the effort. You lie awake at night not able to sleep because you are thinking about what progress you could have made if your didn’t sleep the rest of the remaining hours in the 24 hour cycle. You wake up the next morning dead set on continuing the project and showing off your work on social for the likes, views, engagement, hoping one day you are worthy to monetize so that you can justify all the time wasted on this lovely hobby of ours was not all in vain and that you have some worth. What does all this have to do with my take on the Mordheim Starter Set Terrain and the current “Bridge House” WIP? Nothing and everything. I just wanted to vent on paper (er…in writing)
The Bridge House is the last of the starter set terrain and is one of the more involved builds. Considering I did my own Mordheim inspired builds and couple of weeks ago and they sit tabletop ready, but not fully kitted, the Starter Set self challenge should have been a breeze. It’s not. Again, I wanted to stay as close the source material while adding my own little touches.
I had to go figure out how to construct and add the little “oriel window” on the side of the wall at one end. BTW – I had to look up the name of the window because I am OCD sometimes – according to Wikipedia SOURCE it is not a dormer, those are on rooftops.
I also felt the little bridge connector between the main and adjacent structure needed some under support. I added my own “bracing” made to look like wooden beams after it is painted. I also wanted to be able to quickly add/remove the bridge for playability and storage purposes so I made it key-in to the openings and removeable.
I am still having issues with base warping after adding the floors. Solution – TBD.
Enjoy some more W.I.P. pics. Also check out my Insta because why not.
Happy crafting!
