These are the new custom bases I ordered from Warbases.

15mm barns
The small barn assembled.

15mm barns
And here's the large L-shaped barn.

House factory
Glueing the back windows on. The idea was to leave the same side empty on each house so I could more easily put them back to back.

House factory
Comparing the mansard roof house with the modular buildings. The mansard house is a bigger and more detailed model.
|

The mansard roof house is as tall as the modular tower piece.

Assembling the house.

More clamps to the fray.

Applying the surface texture.
|
|
Pipe stacks
Testing the new water-based primer. Results are not quite satisfactory...
|
|
House factory
The texture is a mix of tiling grout and white glue, simply brushed on.

House factory
Here's the mansard roof house assembled. Not quite sure why it came with two smoke stacks... In the end I decided to use just one stack.

Roof tiles for the small barn.

Gluing the tiles on.

A veritable tiling factory.

15mm barns
Houston, we have a problem! The roof fit is pretty tight so with the tiles in place it doesn't fit anymore.
|
|
15mm barns
After some knifework, the roof fits again. Unfortunately, some tiles were crushed in the process.

House factory
The curse of white glue: warping evident!
|
|
15mm barns
The small barn takes two infantry bases, the large one five.
|
|
Civilians primed
The new primer doesn't really hold to metal figures either...
|
|
House factory
I painted them white. Probably should have used a light grey or beige instead and applied a really heavy drybrush. Now I need to wash these.
|
|
House factory
More base-coated buildings.
|
|
House factory
Adding the mid-level floor to the mansard house. This didn't come in the kit, but it's easy enough to do.
|
|
House factory
Supports for the floor.
|
|
Saxons primed
And the plastic saxons don't fare a whole lot better either.
|
|
Saxons
Unarmored saxons waiting for the final touches.

15mm bridge
Here are the bits for the single arch 15mm bridge from Warbases.
|
|
New bases
I had these sabot bases custom made, Warbases helped out and they turned out pretty nice. My initial idea was to use them as command bases for Hail Caesar, but they look so nice I might use them for other things too.
|
|
15mm bridge
Here's the bridge assembled. It was a bit fiddly to put together because the parts interlock in multiple ways.
|
|
House factory
My initial idea was to leave the doors and windows off and attach them with blu-tac as necessary, but in the end I decided to glue them on.

15mm barns
Dry-fitting the small barn.
