Hi. Making some progress on the smaller structure. Running into some challenges with this one. My rule of dumb – yes dumb – is to just try and paint what looks good to me. This is easier said than done, because I tend to be overly critical of my own work and start comparing itContinue reading “Painting along”

Trust the Process
Hi. Back from a little break. I started back up the Mordheim/Fantasy row house build by starting to paint the smaller of the two structures. To be honest, it took me a little bit to start painting the terrain. I cleared my workspace by cleaning up the area. I then gathered materials like paint, brushes,Continue reading “Trust the Process”
Here it is, baby. Primed, Sealed, Delivered…It’s yours (to see)…
Hi. Happy Wednesday evening. Today I went about addressing an issue I found with building the duplex rowhouse with a front overhang. It tends to want to lean forward because of the weird center of gravity being that it has an open back. I added a little “foot” that sort off prevents the structure frontContinue reading “Here it is, baby. Primed, Sealed, Delivered…It’s yours (to see)…”
Monday, Monday. Can’t trust that day…
Hi. I’m back with another update to the Mordheim (Old World, DnD, Frostgrave, WW Europe, etc.) rowhouse/terrain build project. In this update, I worked on the smaller of the two units. I added a second floor and roof wall as well as included windows and a sharpshooter’s nest. On both structures, not having square stockContinue reading “Monday, Monday. Can’t trust that day…”
Oh…I’m easy, like Sunday evening…yeah
Hi. It is technically still Sunday as I begin writing this post. I worked on completing the roof shingling this night. I cut strips of thin cardboard using the pinking shears to get that shingle edge look. I then cut slits into the strips to give the appearance of single shingles. I then embarked onContinue reading “Oh…I’m easy, like Sunday evening…yeah”
The Roof…The Roof…The Roof is on Fire…We don’t need no water, let the Mothe..
Hi. It’s late. I know. I seem to be doing this a lot to myself lately. However, no matter how much turmoil life throws at me, I keep telling myself it is all for a greater purpose. One side of the roof is complete-ish. I had this notion to create a network of beams thatContinue reading “The Roof…The Roof…The Roof is on Fire…We don’t need no water, let the Mothe..”
Floor the 3rd and Windows Redux…oh, and Beginnings of a Roof
Hi. Some more progress today – Friday the 13th – although this probably won’t post until after midnight. I worked on the second and third floors. Again taking into consideration playable terrain as well as access by the humans or other manner of beast that move minis about the structure. I also redid the windowsContinue reading “Floor the 3rd and Windows Redux…oh, and Beginnings of a Roof”
Going up? Need to see out?
Hi. Just a brief update today. Started on the 2nd level with gameplay and access in mind. Can players access their minis on all the current levels? Is there enough room for player’s hands to get in and move minis about in the structure? Did I break off enough stir sticks to cause instant splintersContinue reading “Going up? Need to see out?”
One becomes Two
Hi. So I did some thinking. You know how bad it is when you get to the point of having to think. Why is it taking me this long to complete one piece of terrain? Granted, this is my first real foray into the fantasy world and mini-wargaming scale construction. I was on what IContinue reading “One becomes Two”
Work on the facade from last night
Hi. I know I said I would post yesterday, but I’m too old and I got too tired to post. So here it is. Worked on the front of the rowhouse ground floor some more. As I did, I started down the rabbit hole of doom scrolling the socials before I realized, I need toContinue reading “Work on the facade from last night”
