Windmill terrain

[Metalchaos]

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted. I was working on a large model. I painted this terrain piece mainly with Reaper MSP paint.

 

The stones were painted with 9088 Stormy Grey and 9089 Cloudy Grey. For the non-metallic metal (NMM) copper on the roof, I used 09030 Leather Brown, 09031 Tanned Leather, 29825 Tusk Ivory and 09039 Pure White. Then, for the verdigris I used a blend of 29848 Jungle Camo, 09294 Alien Goo and 09282 Maggot White. The shingles were painted with 09028 Muddy Brown, 09030 Leather Brown, 09031 Tanned Leather and 29825 Tusk Ivory. I also added rust effect on the metal parts using 09028 Muddy Brown and 09469 Fireball Orange. I finally added shading with a 09255 Black Wash on some areas to give more contrast to the stones and shingles.

 

This Windmill is the second Tabletop World I paint for the hamlet I'm building. I painted it in the same fashion as the Water Well I did two months ago. I will build a base for the windmill later.

If you look carefully, you'll see I added six decorative anchor plates on the windmill wall. I designed these structural reinforcements in Inventor software, prepared a program in Chitubox and printed them on my new resin 3D printer. I broke one of them when I removed it from the print supports but I think it’s even more interesting and realistic this way. As you can see on the last pictures, the anchor plates are about 14mm long and only 2mm think.

 

Have a great weekend!

You did a great job; that's a very cool terrain piece!

The glow in the windows looks great and the door weathering looks so real. Great job.

Wow! That is one fine looking windmill! Better hope there aren't any roving Don Quixotes nearby. Beautiful work!

Awesome Work!

Thanks for your comments everyone. @Glitterwolf, you give me an idea with that don Quixote meme. If I can find suitable miniatures, it would make a funny diorama to have a knight errant attacking the windmill in front of his squire's stunned eyes.

If you could find this Old Warhammer mini he might be the perfect guy.

He was a Mordheim Knight.

Beautiful stonework, especially with the rust-dripping stains from the anchors!

Fantastic terrain - from the fabric to the stones to the copper top - nice

@Rigel and @Iridil, thanks for the kind words I'm glad you like it. I enjoyed painting that model so much, I'll definitely paint some more this year.

@Glitterwolf I saw these model on eBay today. They must be rare as the auction is starting at 50U$.

I like the limited edition from Sarissa Precision too. It comes with their Mediterranean Farmstead. it's on sale at £57.50.

@Metalchaos those are OOP/RARE minis these days.

 

You could of course go for Gamezone Miniatures and look at their Imperial Soldiers range, those look like Spanish troops.

Maybe there is something in there.
