For a few years now I have tried to knock out a large terrain project over the summer, with the intention to finish it prior to the start of school. For a variety of reasons I missed the deadlines I'd set myself... but better late than never!
The project is four buildings, a city backdrop, some bogs, and a few 3D printed items. The buildings are pretty old school- foamboard (foamcore), balsa wood, and cereal box cardboard for shingles. There are other miscellaneous items from Hirst Arts molds and 3d printed items scattered around.
The backdrop is made from foamcore and is part 3D, part illusionistically painted.
The 'Gatehouse' is a close copy of an illustration by 'Black Crab Art' for the Turnip28 game.

Bogs are simple MDF board with built up borders (latex caulk and wall filler compound). The gloss is three layers of gloss polyurethane.
The Laundry and Water Pump are from Infinite Dimensions and are 3D prints. The root ox is also printed, its from the Turnip28 Patreon.
This kind of scenery is what makes the difference. We tend to focus on miniatures and tend no neglect the general ambientation or provide whatever we can get. But these buildings *are* part of the narrative, they add layers of depth to the board and to the minis. Congratulations, this is simply perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks man, appreciated! I tried to add a point of interest on each building side :)
DeleteWow. That really invokes the hopeless rundown nature of Turnip28.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Turnip buildings are fixer-uppers for sure.
DeleteGreat job, the run down look of the buildings means they would also fit in well with the Old World Empire.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, I have some Mordheim figs that fit the vibe.
DeleteExcellent work. This looks really really good.
ReplyDeleteI think I will need a small Turnip settlement of my own...
Thanks :)
DeleteI tend to go overboard!
Those buildings are great. They have a surreal quality, like the backdrop of a silent film. Really cool.
ReplyDeleteAppreciated! I think I channeled your Gormenghast a bit! I also do like the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari :)
DeleteThey do like the houses outside Gormenghast now you mention it! That's the film I was thinking of. Suitably caricatured and ominous!
DeleteBeautiful work Dr. M.
ReplyDeleteReminiscent of the various WHFRP cityscape art by Ian Miller, wonderful.
Fantastic. These are great, and would work well in Warhammer Fantasy too, being quite reminiscent of Blanche or Miller illustrations. The backdrop is a very cool idea too.
ReplyDeleteGrandiose !!! L'atmosphère dégagée est vraiment particulière, il en résulte un cachet unique et merveilleux. Chapeau bas.
ReplyDeleteThose buildings look amazing, and they also have that Oldhammer vibe to them. If you don't mind, what's your recipe for those stucco walls?
