10mm Buildings for Napoleonic Russia

 Hello There! With a couple of on going commissions going on while I have been moving house for the third, nearly fourth, time in two years, it has been difficult to make much progress on this work.

One part of my latest commission includes a mixture of 3D print and resin cast 10mm building which will be seen on the 15mm Napoleonic table of a friend of mine who lives in Norfolk.

I had airbrush undercoated two of the 3D print models to find that either the paint was too thick or I had over sprayed too much.

On using Modelstrip to remove the paint I found that the paint stripper had removed some of the detail of the underlying model. There was not too much detail on the roof in the first place but this was now unacceptable.

I used Milliputt to return the detail to something I feel was better than the original.


Here is the original on the left and the refurbished version on the right. The loss of detail on the stripped roof was very noticeable and the new result is a great improvement
