Hello There! I have recently completed some 10mm scale building from the Total Battle Miniatures range. Their web site is here.
Having completed Fichermont and La Belle Alliance I have now moved on to La Haye Sainte and Papelotte.
The buildings from this range and quite exceptional and is is easy to make the most of showing the detail up on these models.
I received a book about using pigments, for my Christmas present, and decided to try some of them out. I would normally have used a number of washed to get the brickwork effect seen here. The pigments were more versatile and quicker to use.
I used Woodland Scenics Burnt Grass fine flock for the surrounds and Mid Green Clump Foliage on one side.
The building was placed on a base as the model was in two parts.
These two pictures show the pigment effects off very well. I also use a piece of clump foliage to 'hide the join'!
Next Papelotte, which was again in two pieces. I used the pictures from the suppliers website as a guide.
I tried to get away from the usual grey monotone roof by adding some different shades to it.
This wall had three different shades of pigment on it and the effect was very realistic.
Here is a comparison with a one pence piece to give you an idea of the size of these buildings.
Last up, Hougoumont!
