[Kickstarter]¶
Turf War Z¶

I joined this Kickstarter on 6th May, choosing the True Believer pledge for £215.00 - which is quite a lot. It gives you access though to:

• Two complete Gang Starter Sets of your choice
• the Printed version of the Rulebook
• the PDF version of the Rulebook
• the FREE Kickstarter miniature
• Twenty plastic multi-part zombies
• you will receive ONE copy of EVERY item unlocked during the campaign (this includes all miniatures, buildings and terrain items)!

The last point was very tempting, especially as some of the higher stretch goals really caught my interest - but I watched it very closely, if it would not have taken off as it did, I would have withdrawn my pledge - but as things are - this will be money well spent :-)

Town House WD131¶

The last house is done.

.

I still had to do the business sign on the first house; I decided for it to be a book shop. So I carved an open book from balsa wood and created a chain it could dangle from from copper wire.

The extra rings I used to embellish the door knobs on some of the buildings.

.

Here are all four together:

Painting pending - let's crack on, yeah?

Town House WD131¶

Third house is finished. The major difference to the other two houses is the curved roof. I made a template from cardboad to get the curve as equal as possible on both sides.

I used 4mm wide beams to make the main 'box' of the building, then used smaller 2mm for the framing in between. The corner beams (4mm x 4mm) had a 2mm x 2mm corner cut out to fit snuggly to the building.

The door was again carved into the foam.

The inner removable roof was build from foam and card, the ridge is the other half used on the first house.

To get an irregular not flat roof, I did not use card to glue the shingles to, but a piece of tissue paper drenched in watered down PVA.

For another shingle form I used triangle pointed ones on this house.

Out of a whim I decided to have an overhang on the roof that grows towards the ridge - not sure if I like that or not.

Town House WD131¶

Second house is finished. This one is a nearly 100% copy of the house from the article. The angle of the roofs I cut is 60°, the plan in the article has 54°, so I first made a template from cardboard and cut down the side walls.

For this house, I carved the door directly into the foam.

Besides not having a stone ground floor, this bulding was done like the first - balsa wood framing, bird cage sand for the texturing. The shingles on this one are rectangular and cut from thicker card.

One problem I encountered, which I don't know how to solve yet, is that the glue on the roof warped it - the roof fit the walls perfectly before gluing the shingles to it... I will probably hide it with moss or a row of smaller shingles glued in one row parallel to the wall...

Town House WD131¶

I cut the doors from balsa wood, cut planks into them, then added fixtures cut from card.

The sectioning of the large front window was done with thinly cut strips of balsa.

I added a bit of spackle to some of the stones. On the one hand this covers where the foam pieces obviously meet, on the other hand this gives some more 3d effect to the wall.

I started to give structure to the walls using the same spackle, but this was hard to apply, so only the gables have it. For the rest of the walls I used PVA and sprinkled sand on.

I still want to carve a sign symbolizing the wares sold here, which will dangle from a chain on the outside, but I am not sure yet which it will be.

Apart from that sign, construction is done :-)

Some years ago, I saw this nice scissors with a wave form in a store. "You will never need that!" I was told by her who must be obeyed - ha! Finally I proved here wrong :-)

The merchant has some nice rounded shingles on his roof. To place them, I drew lines on the roof - which again would have been easier before gluing the card to the walls...

I added two gables as well and shingled the roof(s).

Today I added the timbering on the merchant's house. I use 8mm square balsa rods, and cut by hand 2mm-3mm beams, thus creating hopefully the look of hand made beams that are not really uniform.

More Halberdiers¶

The rank and file models of the first unit are done. As their equippment comes from non-industrialized craftsmen, I wanted quite some variety in the unit, which I tried to achieve with a very sophisticated system:

• The models are numbered in the bottom of the base to make sure they align well. I placed them in a random manner without looking at the bottom as shown.
• I painted the quilted armour down the three columns in three different browns.
• I painted the legs of each rown in one colour.
• With the leg colour, I painted three models diagonally starting in the next row.

This way I tried to ensure the most random colour distribution.

For the clothes, I used the information in this post and choose the winter palette.

After adding the static grass, I placed the models in their designated places and enjoyed the random distribution of colours among the unit members :-)
