Cardstock buildings & terrain have opened up a new field of modelling for me. Models can be made available on the net and easily downloaded, printed and made. A recent find is Dave's Games: The Encroachment of Chaos. The site offers a cornucopia of accessories for Warhammer Fantasy, including a set of really impressive medieval buildings in 28mm. I've downloaded the models and plan to rescale them for 1/72. The picture above is a completed model of the town gatehouse and was taken from that site. I'll be posting my wip pix of the medieval village project here. Check out Dave's Games: The Encroachment of Chaos!
I've been nursing a bum foot since Sunday and worked on these during the afternoons. While casually surfing for horse references, I discovered a new, exciting and tremendously complex thing -- Equine Color! Ever since I was given a book written by Sheperd Paine with a chapter on horses, I was intrigued. Only when I attempted to do research on the Numidian horsemen & their mounts did I realize how complex horse color is. Presented here are a few work-in-progress pictures. I still have a lot of touchups to do as well as texturing the bases and flocking until I can call this done. But for idly playing with them while making moronic hoofbeat sounds, they pretty much suffice. I'm pretty happy about the way the greys and the bays turned out but I'm still at a loss how to do really red chestnuts. Among the pictures, you'll find a sample of a really badly-done attempt at a chestnut with a really red coat & mane. I may post an article here soon about the information I
I downloaded these too. They are excellent! I can't believe he gives them away for free!
