LCDR Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The gable end has a nice Gothic feel about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Why not draw the planks with a black ball point pen and a ruler? The ball should make a slight indentation as it leaves the black ink provided you don't press too hard. Planks 2mm wide will look OK at 4mm scale. Try it on a piece of scrap balsa first.

Buz Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi LC&DRThanks for your commentsHopefully will look Gothic enough without over doing it when finished and the roof look like slatesblack and grey with light green glass seems the right colors for this oneThanks for the idea for planksHave had a bit of a disaster trying to cut and assemble a dragon head tile ridge looks like it should go Woof rather than roar and breath fire.But I had to give it a try considering the graph paper squares are 2mm and the whole dragon head is only six layers of paper thick and very small hopefully it will add something?? to the main roof-ridge.Now I know what vampire figures Preiser do its so tempting to have an open coffin with male vampire with a female vampire standing over the imagined conversation goes something like "get out of bed your not staying there all night" etc etc.Not sure how to do barge boards yet if I use the same triangle type pattern a bit concerned that would be over doing things??Well one thing is for sure I will have somewhere to stick the LED Pumpkin when its finished 😆regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 A flickering purple l.e,d, inside might add a bit of ambience , 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buz Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi LC&DRDo LED'S come in purple?? I was thinking an old style Green or Yellow (not to bright that way)The glazing is green so not sure what a purple light source would look like through green glass, could produce an interesting result.regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Do LED'S come in purple?? I think they do. There are certainly UV LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buz Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hi allFollowed LC&DR's idea of black Biro for plank lines it works most of the mistake in the middle will be hidden by the building.Mix up with marks./media/tinymce_upload/d0d3351460d66f6dcd5805ca08efb07d.jpgHas any one used the Busch light up owl? or able to comment on how effective it looks.Just discovered the existence of this accessory today apparently the eyes light up.sounded interesting.regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buz Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi allHave just discovered Langley miniature models does a pack of goblins and skeletons in 1/76The skeletons are just the thing to provide customers for this experiment and bit of fun.Does any one know of a very light very bright green or blue paint that would do for representing whatever magical force it is that animating them, all followers of good fantasy stories knows these things don't get up and walk by themselves.The idea is to paint the eye sockets in that color and unfortunately Games Workshop don't make Putrid Green any more or do a suitable substitute paint.regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I suspect some of the other Wargamer's paint provides supernatural colours. There is a brand called Vallejo who seem to cater for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buz Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi allWell not the barge board I wanted but a barge board non the less.What I wanted proved to be beyond what I could do even with ten times magnification./media/tinymce_upload/4aa5de161c7f66112c88e801452f7a57.jpgso I had to settle for a 9" plain barge board.regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
