Urban Renewal - I took a little hiatus from painting figures to add another dwelling to the collection we currently have in Gary's basement. This is The Three Chimneys (or Les Trois Cheminee as they say in St. Maurice). It measures 12" long by 8" wide by 9" high and was made using those wonderful Hirst Arts block molds as well as card stock, foamcore, balsawood, and artboard for the base. All of the vegetation is Woodland Scenics products as well as yarn to represent the actual vines...


Here's the back

Here's the kitchen side

Here's the front


The purist will note no signage. I'm of the experience that, while attractive, those little signs are the first thing to break off, and given that the "little" house is heavy enough, a sign would just compromise movement of the place. Hope you like it.

From what I can see (small pictures) it looks quite good. If you wanted a sign how about fixing it flat to the wall? Or one you can insert as needed?

A work of art! I don't believe I've seen anything on a wargame table that can match your building projects.
