Pingo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 This was one of several terrain pieces my husband gave me for my birthday earlier this month, a "Medieval Cottage 1300 - 1700" from Perry Miniatures. This is the first hard plastic miniature I've ever put together, and I'd like to thank the other forumites who gave me advice on glues and things. It came on several sprues, three I think it was, and went together pretty easily. The doors open and shut. There is also a small shed for animals or wood or something, and a lot of woven wicker fencing. I didn't take any pictures of the assembly or priming, but at the moment it has been thinly primed with transparent white and washed for shadows with Burnt Umber. A lot of the original grey plastic still shows through. I am probably going to paint this very strangely. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jim Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My eyes ain't so good, but what scale of minis is that for? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisler Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Buildings by the Perry's are actually 1/56th scale. They are designed to go with their ranges of 28mm metal and plastic miniatures. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaoshead Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Funny how it looks pretty darned great already with just a light primer and a wash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm back, with some nice aged wood color glazed on, mixed from Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine Blue. I used a bluer mix in the shadows. I also painted the interior, but I didn't take pictures of it (it's not modeled as an interior; I'm just kind of a completionist). Then I mixed a gold from Yellow Oxide and Titanium White for the basic roof thatching. I plan to paint the cottage a little more eccentrically but I wanted a solid foundation of color first. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djizomdjinn Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Looks great so far!Have you considered thatching the roof with railroad field grass? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Looks great so far! Have you considered thatching the roof with railroad field grass? It's an interesting thought. The roof is pretty nicely modeled, though. And by training and background I am generally more inclined to try to make an effect with paint than with potentially fragile glued on bits. (This, of course, could easily be famous last words.) I am planning on having some things growing on the roof and maybe some sort of painted decorations on the house. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Chaoswolf Posted October 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2015 It looks good so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you 'plant' on the roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Darsc Zacal Posted October 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2015 Like your idea of some growth happening on the roof. Looks good so far though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
