The Blacksmith's Forge

Just a quick, but picture heavy, additional post today: I managed to complete the Blacksmith Forge by Tabletop World.

As per usual, I put a few models on the house so that one can imagine how big it is. Next up are two walk arounds from different angles.

I started with the wood on the roof which went pretty fast. The stonework however took longer. Combine that with the timbers that needed some more exact basecoating to not get too much dark brown on the stones and the lower storey took quite a bit longer... Once the stones and wood was done, the details went on quickly again. This model also marks the first time for me to use flock for the moss texture and I very much like the look of it!

And lastly here are a few pictures of details - this kit is really quite detailed. Every surface from stone to wood to metals etc. is textured and takes a drybrush really nicely. As I said last week, there is also a paining recipe to remind myself of how I painted this model in the future. There are also a few additional pictures and a picture of my reference - part of some medieval city walls near to where I live.

Now I only will have to paint up an adequate table to put this forge on...
