Medieval Mayhem - A Barons War Project
Terrain - Church
Barons war requires that you have a decent amount of terrain. I realised that I have very little in the way of anything in 28mm. Then I recalled buying a Medieval Church MDF kit some years ago. So after some rummaging around I found it and started to build it
When I had built the kit I realised it was lacking something, it took me a while before I realised it was missing buttresses. So that got me thinking how do I create these. Then I remembered that I had some foam core hanging around. So decided to make them out of that.
I then proceeded to use a pencil to create the stone work, before using PVA glue to stick the foam core to the MDF. The last bit of detail was to add tiles using coffee stirrers to the buttresses.
That then completed the outside of the church, I was really pleased with how it looked.
However, that then lead me to consider the interior of the Church. It’s what you might call sparse with details.
So after ordering more foam core sheets, this time with no paper covering. I created the churches interior using 5 panels. One for each wall and one for the floor. These required a bit more work then the buttresses, and I used a scrunched up ball of kitchen foil to add texture. I also added interior brick work to the roof of the church tower.
The inside of the church complete. Although after I had stuck down the inside layers I realised I could have been clever and created stained glass by adding clear plastic between the MDF and the foam core. Oh well you live and learn ?
