I started making a set of timbered housing yesterday! The shells are foamcore and I have included some cool resin doors I bought from Tiny Furniture last year. Next step is the timber work

I always liked the houses in the tutorial in White Dwarf back in the day, and these will be very much along those lines. Here's a couple I made a couple of years ago which I sold. As well as the town houses and hut, I'm drawing up the plans for an Inn
#warmongers #ttrpg

For the Inn, I started with the roughest of rough sketches, & you can see I changed my mind & added an extra floor. Couple of resin doors from Tiny Furniture & Zealot, & plasticard from GSW which I want to use. I have started drawing the bits on graph paper
#warmongers #ttrpg

... Then I used the graph paper drawing as a template and transferred it to the foamcore with dress pins, then joined the dots

... And cut the pieces out with a scalpel and steel rule. I mounted the doors at this point. I have glued the pieces together with PVA and secured them with pins. The roof base is just box card

... Next I added a staircase, again I used the graph paper drawing as a template and cut the pieces out of foamcore, then added card steps - these are just supporting the next bit

I wanted the lower part of the walls of the ground floor to be stonework, so I've used some @greenstuffworld textured plasticard and filled the gaps at the corners with plastic putty

I created flagstones for the surrounding area and the stairs using Fimo clay and a @greenstuffworld terrain roller

I made a simple chimney by sandwiching two pieces of foamcore together and wrapped them in Fimo clay, then I used a spare bit of the textured plasticard to imprint a stone texture
#warmongers #ttrpg

... And I think that's as far as I will get with it today!
Next step will be to add the timber work using balsa wood.
While I was doing all this, I also added flagstones to the bases of the other houses, so I think I'll do all the balsa work on them together.

Lack of sleep last night, I don't have a painting brain today, but I can just about deal with sticking balsa wood to the Inn
It's starting to look proper now & I'm making the windows as I go. I'm using plastic cross-stitch grid to replicate the leading.
#warmongers #ttrpg

That's the timber work mostly done, I also added a dormer to the side of the roof which needs a bit of wood on the sides. The roof join is a bit gappy but it's going to be covered by the tiles later on so it doesn't matter
#warmongers #ttrpg

... So the next step is to texture the lathe and plaster panels, which is likely the last bit I'll do today.
I've timbered one of the town houses too, but I don't really have time to do the other 2 today
#warmongers #ttrpg

... To get the texture, I'm using Vallejo ground texture which is great for all sorts of textures. I have applied it to the side of the stairs much more thickly to get a rough plaster look.
That's as far as I'll get today, to be continued later in the week

Right! Onto the roof tiles
Queued all morning at the post office
I made the tiles from thin card, drew a 1cm square grid & cut into strips then cut the line most of the way to make a line of tiles, then starting at the bottom I glued them to the roof.
