Those gothic ruins have come out very well - I think the best compliment is to say they don't look like MDF! My gaming group is getting into Epic Armageddon in a big way again, and lots of ruins like these would go down very well.


In looking for the milk factory from Arnhem, I realised that it is already posted on my website - its at the bottom of this page http://www.kerynne.com/games/ArnhemBridge.html

The last photo gives has building in it - just in front of the bridge, to the left side (it has 2 of the roofs removed, and a stand of paras on top). It is less of a courtyard than I remember, its just 2 full sides and a small side.

The plans have brick texture and windows already added - so it is a little hard to see the fold lines. Also I didn't bother adding tabs to the drawings, for some reason, so it might take a bit of working out to see what goes where. So this is probably only about 75% finished - you should be able to work it out, but shout if its not obvious, and I will find the constructed building I have and check out how it goes together, as it was a number of years ago I made this, and I'm now struggling to remember quite how it goes together.

It's for larger scales, but I've found a mix of sand, PVA and a spot of water to mix it glo ops on really really well and looks like daub rather nicely!

For Epic, what about taller, more exaggerated columns?

What do you reckon on the columns that came with the starter box?


I don't know Arnhem that well. Is the milk factory an iconic building of the battle?

Taller might be good - it's hard to tell the size of these on their own.

I don't think I'd go as far as iconic. But it is one of the key buildings near the bridge. I made it as I didn't think I'd be able to find a commercial one of similar shape and size. The more iconic buildings are the double gable roofed houses, often 3 floors tall.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Very nice, Wee Wars.   :)  (by the way, what is the kind of 'filler' referred to earlier?)

Interesting result with the 'milk factory' fred - thanks for posting (got me thinking now ....).
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I prefer a rough-textured filler for groundwork/rubble.

http://www.michaelscott.name/ww1/ww1blog/ww1blogpost0028.htm

For that reason I stay away from wall fillers that are designed to give a smooth finish. I prefer coloured tiling grouts. These are designed to be tough and gritty. My favourite colour is dark brown but it appears the colour is no longer produced.  :'(

For easier application to give MDF a hint of texture, it seems more appropriate to use a textured gel/medium that is designed to adhere to the vertical rather than designed as a gap filler. For small scale models, fine sand rather than pumice texture seems more appropriate.

To begin with, I plan to produce enough buildings for the centre and eastern flank of a 3mm Waterloo. Thanks to you I have discovered that 3mm is a good testing ground for up-scaling!

Seriously.....SO impressed with that !
