Mordheim: Bridge House part 4 (Final part. Finished bridge house)

Hello. This is 2016 years last project. I really don't have time to build or paint nothing anymore in this year. But the next year is coming and I have lot's of plans to paint miniatures.

Back to Mordheim. This is the last part of building Mordheim bridge house. Actually this part is more like painting than building.

Step 1: Prime the building
I have painted the building with black spray primer. I had to do some minor building in this part. I added a window board. This step is really fast and easy.

House is primed with black spray

Wooden window board. Clued after the priming.

Step 2: Base color and wash

In this phase I have painted the house inside out with the base color. I have used tan, red and blue inside the house. Dark grey and lighter grey outside. Wooden planks are painted with brown. And of course the downstairs with grey color. 

Base color in place. I have used 8 different base color.

After I had done the base color I just washed the whole building with black wash. It prings some of the detail up. And because it is a ruined house it doesn't matter if it look some grimy and dirty. 

After the black wash.

Step 3: The dry brushing

This is the longest part to do. I have dry brushed all walls, floors, dirt and details. Mainly I have used same base color before the wash. Then I have lightened it up with white or similar lighter tone. 

Well in this part I was very interested to paint the building and I did not take pictures of every layer. 

I have painted about 3-5 layers to each sealing or floor sections. 

After the dry brush

I had to do some minor fixing in this phase. I added some more "dirt" on the ground floor. You can see the new dirt in color of grey. 

Some fixing details. Grey dirt. Painted brown after drying. 

 

Step 4: The finishing touches and details

Last part is the funnest part to do. I can ad some details to bring the ruins more alive. I have added all kind of details what is shown in original card board ruins. Some details I have just done as I see it fit.

Posters, writings, rust, water leaks, blood, Town Cryer magazines and fire place.

Red arrows point some the details what I have done to the ruins. 

Step 5: See the result

After I have done it all. I have taken some pictures and posted it up in my blog. I'm happy to hear some feedback. There is some thinks what I have done better like edges of the ruins. But I'm happy with the result. 

I hope you enjoy the finished Mordheim Bridge house. I have now done all the buildings what come with original game.

The bridge is removable for better storage and it will wont take so much damage
 when I move it around the gaming table.

Next I have to build the Blood on the street expansion. Only problem is that I don't own the expansion yet. If you have the expansion houses and the plastic parts. I might just buy them for the right price. And I need the schematics also!

Old School miniature building!

Hello! I have to write this blog text about real hardcore miniature building. I have found my brothers WWII tanks and planes. These all tanks and planes are models from real life machines. Every model presents some plane or tank from that WWII era. I remember we had a history book about tanks and planes with measures. I'm not sure which scale these are made.

These tanks and planes are made from wood and carved with knife. These models are over 20 years old. Ant there is about 70 tanks and over hundred planes made. Also few battle ship which are about one meter wide.

My brother is always been my innovation to miniatures to paint and build them! He is always my mentor and master. I don't know anyone who had innovations to do these.

I have only found this one old box. Here is the pictures!

Here is the all tanks and planes what I did find

Close up tanks

There is british, german, soviet and us tanks

I think this is German tank hunter Nashorn.

This is 8-ton German half track Sd.Kfz. 7

Maybe a Sherman mine sweeper tank.

Planes

These are in same scale but the size matter. Italian tank and soviet T-34 tank.

Italian first model 1st medio (medium tank)

German Panzer IV or V. 

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. Remember these are made with knife from the scratch. This is real miniature building. Do it yourself.

Mordheim: Bridge House part 3

Welcome to read about Mordheim Bridge house part 3. This part I will show and try to explain about some small details about the house project. Most of details were done in building process and last details will be done after painting.


Here is the bridge between the houses. I have made it from ice cream sticks and card board. I have used drill to do some nail holes and just a pen to do cracks on cardboard. It was crucial to test the bridge width. It would not be nice that models wont't fit on terrain. After all this made for gaming.

Here is the bridges. 

Even the Minotaur can walk on the bridge. 

 Some details about the bridge. You can see the same details on original card board bridge.

Bridge detailing. 

Downstairs I just used some printed card for making the tiles. Also I was out of Ice Cream sticks and I had to improvise. This is easy and fast method to do surfaces.  Just remember to put some wight on it when it dry or it will go waves.

Also I made some nail holes to the floor blanks.

Downstairs tile pattern.  

When the flooring was ready I made some debris. Just cluing left over sticks and sand. Also I used some cork to do more different debris.

Sand and debris detailing. 

When it is done I have clued the original plastic parts to the house with super clue. It is wise to test that they with the holes before cluing them in place. 

Almost done. Just a minor details missing. 

Last detail is to cut of the rest of the cardboard off from the houses base.  

House don't need this much base. 

 I have done small pins to keep the bridge on place. And also it is easier to paint and store this house after it is ready and in pieces.

Here is the Bridge house pieces

If you like to know more about something. Please be welcome to ask and I will happily to answer you questions. 

Next part is the final part and it is about painting and putting the last small details. It won't be long when it is done. Until the next text! Happy miniaturing!

Mordheim: Bridge House part 1

Hello. I wanted to re-make the last Mordheim building what is left the Bridge House. Well this original cardboard house wasn't sturdy and it was broken already. So I had no reason to save it.

First step is to plan how I built it and what materials I need. I skipped the planning phase because I have built several these houses already. Mainly I will use foam board, original plastic parts and ice cream sticks.

I have stripped the plastic parts from the house and washed them to remove crease and dust.

Then I simply use the original card parts to draw new wall sections to foam board.

Next time I will show how do I make the walls more alive and assemble the house but now I must to go cut the new walls out of foam.

Planning and I have schematics to this house.

washed all plastic parts with dish washing fluid. 

Used these wall sections to draw them to foam board

Here is couple ready buildings. It should look something like these when it is ready. You can find more about these buildings from my older blog post! Use the word Mordheim or terrain to find these.

Corner house

Modular gaming board: Jungle vs. Cave!

Hello!

I had a vision and  I dreamed of good solid gaming boards. Well I decided to do some easy two sided gaming board.

This board is not the nicest and does not take much of time to make. Well I had this 2' x 4' (60 cm x 120 cm) foam board. To other side I painted grey terrain to simulate the caves or even modern city street. To other side I just simply clued old paper gaming mat.

I have second part coming up as I write this. The grey side only needs some white dry brushing and then I clue the mat other side and let it dry whole night.

Jungle, woodland, plains

Just flip it and I have...

cave, dungeon or city.

PS. I have lot's of dungeon terrain coming up and some woodland. Stay tuned!

Water Still & Cover!

Hello today I managed to build some terrain to Necromunda. Well I actually build it little pit at the time before, but got it finally painted.

I will present some original terrain and my version of it. Everybody knows what cover is for... Right? Well but water still is used as a objective in some scenarios in Necromunda game. And it is supposed to give some fresh unpolluted water in hive city.

If you think the original terrain is better then I'm failed.

Original cover and Water still.

My version of the original water still and cover.

Back in Hive City!

Hello again! I have finally started to build more Necromunda Hive City... I have started to built new water still and some cover. I have used original cardboard pieces as inspirations. Also I have finished my leader to guilder gang! So you can except that next is coming lots of more Necromunda. I have plans to paint some original minis to this gang also.

Green stuffia on vaikea masteroida...

Eilen tein yli tunnin pelkästään puolituisen hiuksia... Ainakin 7 kertaa otin aineen pois ja aloitin alusta. Hiukset eivät millään osuneet oikein... Kunnes sitten ne olivat kohdallaan. Toisen figuurin kohdalla ne olivat heti eikä melkein kunnossa.

En hallitse kunnolla green stuffia ja nykyinen Necromunda jengi projektini vaatii paljon muokkausta kyseisellä aineella... Ai miksikö käytän paljon GStuffia? Siksi että haluan tehdä uniikin porukan, joita muilla ei ole kaupasta ostamalla.

Tässä siis ensimmäiset kolme soturia...

Ja tässä seuraavat kaksi. En pidä kotkista joten jouduin tekemään uuden vyösoljenkin. Siihenkin meni aikaa ihan tuhottomasti.

Kolme ensimmäistä soturia. 

Tosin sain sentään kunnon aseen tehtyä tarkka-ampujalle nössön neulakiväärin sijaan...

Ekaa figuuria ei ole vielä muokattu. Kotka rinnasta lähtee pois! Ratling voipi saada puukon tai jonkin muun varusteen roikkumaan.

Mordheim The Tavern FINISHED

Noniin nyt se on maaleissa. Tämä oli ehdottomasti vaikein maalattava ja rakennettava tähän mennessä.

Now it's painted. This was definitely the hardest to paint and built so far. 

Etupuoli. Punainen on vaikea väri.
Frontside. Red color is hard to paint

Takapuoli. Spottaa Death Card
Backside. Spot the Death Card

Palkit alakerrassa on balsasta jotka jäi rakennusvaiheessa pois. Kuvassa vasemmalla on alkupeärinen kuva.
Downstairs beams I had to from wood after painting, because I forgot to ad them when building. Original wall in left in picture

Alakerrassa ja keskitasossa kaksi maalausta seinällä kuten alkuperäisessä
Two paintings in walls like in original terrain.

Rakennus on silti vain 99% valmis. Puuttuu vielä Taverna kyltti ja ilmoitus oviaukon viereltä.

This building is still only 99 % complete. It's still missing the tavern sign and notification neat the out door.

Mordheim The Tavern WIP Part 3

Perusvärit maalattuna. Meni noin 60 minuuttia. Illemmalla ennen nukkumaan menoa vielä musta washaus. Huomasin, että sisältä puuttuu muutama puupalkki, jotka on piirrtty alkuperäiseen kuvioon. No liimailen ne sitten lopuksi kun teen kyltinkin.

Basic Colors are painted. It took 60 minutes. At night before going for sleep I will wash this thing with black. I noticed that inside there is missing wooden beam which is painted in original cardboard. I will ad it when I'm making the sign. 

Basic color eli perusvärit

Mordheim The Tavern WIP Part 2

Pieni päivitys Tavernan rakentamiseen. Tai oikeastaan rakentaminen on valmis. Odotan vain liiman kuivumista jotta voi maalata koko höskän.

Small update to Tavern. Or actually buiilding is done. Just waiting glue to dry that I can paint this ruin.

Ehkä pieniä detaileja tulee kuten taverna kyltti. Alkuperäistä ei ole, mutta jos joku voisi sellaisen lahjoittaa ehkä kolikkoa vastaan...

Small details is coming like Tavern sign, I don't have the original, but hope I find somewhere it.

Mordheim The Tavern WIP 1

Tänään päätin tehdä Tavernan kehikon. Seuraavaksi blogitekstissä varmaan detailit
