Bretonnian Display Board

The idea of this display board was to try to maximise the ‘best’ side of the Bretonnian models. For these I think the best angle to view them at is actually from the side where you can get a better view of the shields, barding and banners.

So with that in mind I opted for a long thing display board in separate parts that would join together to make one scene.

I imagined the Army marching through a town in all its splendour with pennants and banners blowing in the wind. The bright colours of the Army contrasting with the drab colours of the Peasants houses and of course the hint of a castle wall.

I used my normal method of foam-core to construct the basic shapes and balsa wood to add details. Filler mas wiped over the foam-core to create texture.

A ridiculous amount of individual cardboard shingles were cut out and glued to MDF roofs.

I made depressions for the movement trays to be fitted so as o keep the floor of the display level.

After under-coating in a dark chocolate brown I used creams and off-white paint from the local hardware shop to dry-brush the model. The wooden beams were painted with black ink from an Art store.
