Hi. It’s a bit overcast and dark on what started off as a bright and sunny Tuesday. Today I worked on the beams and stonework adding some color to the black basecoat. I mixed up some brown acrylic with black and laid down some undertone for the faux beams that give the building some characterContinue reading “Beams and Stone”

Get to the Roof(s)!
Hi. It’s me and my unnecessarily long Mordheim/Fantasy Rowhouse build project. I have been recently visited by the Building Inspector of the Mordheim City Works department and got approval to continue the work. Today is Monday and that meant, well it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s time to paint up the exteriors of the largerContinue reading “Get to the Roof(s)!”
2nd Mordheim/Fantasy Rowhouse Terrain Update – Interior Paint
Hi. Just a Sunday afternoon update. I started paint work on the 2nd Mordheim/Fantasy Rowhouse terrain structure. As with the smaller of the two structures, I started with the walls. Instead of painting them in a consistent color, I though that maybe the previous inhabitants wanted some color in their life before the chaos. IContinue reading “2nd Mordheim/Fantasy Rowhouse Terrain Update – Interior Paint”
1st Mordheim/Fantasy House Terrain, Done-ish
Hi. I am calling this first Mordheim/Fantasy House terrain piece done-ish. I added a simple blackwash to the entire structure. NGL – I was a little sad to see the blue colors of the roof, the yellow tones of the walls and browns of the wood get muted by the wash. I also black washedContinue reading “1st Mordheim/Fantasy House Terrain, Done-ish”
Painting along
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..”
