Whimsical Fantasy Miniatures
The Wizards Folly
This is the Wizards Folly from Northumbrian Tin Soldier, a multipart resin kit which I’ve had my eye on since if first saw it.
As you can see it the tower can be used in various stages of repair, from just the base all the up to a fully built tower, if rather ramshackle.
The inside it detailed and has some practicality as well.
I painted the whole thing a light beige colour then used painted a few individual bricks separate colours to add variety. Once drybrushed and given a couple of washes everything blended together quite well.
Once fully assembled the whole thing is actually quite sturdy and not likely to fall apart. Being resin it take take some work to make sure the parts fit together well but it wasn’t so I’m really looking forward to using this in my games. It’ll look great in Moonstone and work well in Rangers of Shadow Deep or Five Leagues From The Borderlands.
Looks great. I really like the colour of the stone work – would you mind giving a more detailed breakdown of which paints you used please?
Thanks. So I mostly used Vallejo Model Color Buff which is a darker beige. I then painted random stones in model color Red Leather, Game Color Plague Brown, Army Painter Dark Tone and Army Painter Uniform Grey. The whole thing was drybrushed in model color pale sand then washed in a mixture of agrax earthshade (old version), Nuln oil (old version) and thinner (ratio of a third each). After a further drybrush of more pale sand the pieces were still looking a little pale so I glazed it with two coats of Army Painter Flesh Wash to brown it up… Read more »
That’s grand, cheers very much!
That’s a nice looking tower. Reminds me of the one in the old Disney movie “The Sword in the Stone”. Could use an fat owl on the roof 🙂
Or an owlbear.
It kind of reminds me of Yaztromo’s tower from the fighting fantasy books. He had ravens in his roof, and a big hole, and a telescope.
I was thinking exact the same @demonsub. Great work! ???
Thanks, I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Fabulous paint job’s on your project figures @demonsub and well worth a gold button
Thanks you.
