First Fruits of my Labour.

Finally, after lots of assembling, gluing extra rubble, converting and a LOT of spray painting I have finally got something actually finished!

Wrecked House

The Warlord branded Italieri ‘Wrecked House’ which I bought a few years ago half price in a Black Friday sale, is now done, and crucially I am really pleased with it.

I added extra rubble to the base to make it appear a bit more realistic, and to tie it in with my rubble basing on my infantry. I also sprayed it with a cooled down, un-shaken can to give the walls a rough texture. I did this to give the effect of concrete blocks, to look grim and ‘Stalinesque’.

I uses the sadly recently discontinued Forge world ‘Dry Mud’ to get some colour on to the model, and to give an impression of a couple of months passing after the building had been shelled.

It would have been great if there were more options with the kit, as some more variation could have made buying half a dozen of them a fun possibility. If I see any cheap again, I may well pick up a couple, but a lot of time and effort will be needed to convert them to look suitably individual, as no two bombed out buildings ever look the same.

I can’t wait for the next game to use this wrecked house in. It is ideal as an MMG nest and I can even get a sniper on what is left of the upstairs.
