Market Hall WIP 4

Plodding on, not had much mojo lately, but doing little bits often so getting stuff progressing… just the roof tiles to add then painting…

I wanted something carved on the topmost roof section, so I could ID which way round it goes instantly. Toyed with various options, but decided a carved relief of some kind. Much searching and a callout on Lead Adventure provided a bit from the Pegasus Hobbies grim dark cathedral sets.

Now the downside with adding balsa is everything gets a touch bigger. So roof extensions. But the end result should be good. Need to tidy my desk I think.

 Market Hall pimping and October is flying by… anyhoo, settled on what I wanted to do for the viewing gallery, stairs from Petite Properties and a new gallery floor giving more space and an overhang. Chair and table for the judge, but no room really for a useable dock in the middle.

Fun fact - dock comes from the Dutch for chicken coop.

Sharpe Bayonet

Obligatory Sharpe reference. A mix of Wargames Atlantic and Perry bits and a Victrix hand for Sweet William, although the arm needs more work.

 

Market Hall WIP 2

First two floors almost done. Haven’t settled on the stairs yet. I want to do a courtroom and have the mezzanine as a viewing gallery. If I do an accused box, it won’t be able to take a 25mm base, that would be too big. I’m thinking of just a judges chair and table and a clerks desk. But waiting on that to arrive before committing. Still need to hit the balsa with a wire brush as well.

 

Market Hall WIP 1

Some pimping begins… managed to track down a 4ground market hall at a similar price to when it was in production, so it needs to be brought up to match my other 4ground stuff… interiors textured and a little balsa for the door and window lintels for a bit of depth. Need a lot of balsa to start the timbers externally so just tarted the door to the cell.

Other pics of my older 4ground buildings can be found here, here and here…

Would be nice if some picked them up to continue the line…

Lord Summerisle’s ghillie…

 Not overly happy with the paint job, didn’t want him in uniform, figured some earthier colours would work, but couldn’t get a brown tweedy look, so went with blue. The tartan is made up, because they all are, but again with more countryside autumnal shades.

A bit satiny, but it’s been damp here so had to use brush on varnish. May redo the jacket.
