Renedra & Perry Miniatures Plastic Buildings


I recently finished painting and basing the Ramshackle Barn from Perry Miniatures. This plastic building has loads of detail and can cover a large time period.


 





I have started working on yet another project which is turning out really well and I am quite excited about. When I have finished painting the first batch of figures, I will post pictures of them and the appropriate buildings. I am not going to let the cat out of the bag just yet but it is a period (theatre) and scale that I had never really considered before.  
Cheers,
Pat.

      Sorry it should read "but now" and not "but know".

    Excellent work!

    For perspective, how big is the base you put it on?

      Thanks!

      Is there any chance of a "how to make plastic buildings look like old weathered wood" painting tutorial?

      Rob,
      The barn was painted dark brown, then heavy drybrush with dark grey, followed by a light brush of midstone.
      The cartwheel and ladder was painted dark brown, drybrushed with a lighter brown, followed by a very light brush of midstone.
      These were household paints from a builders merchants.
      Cheers,
      Pat.

    Those are really very well done, Pat. Putting the buildings on those hand-made bases really brings them alive.

    Curious about the new period. How is Guilford Courthouse going?

    Best wishes

      Thanks again chaps.
      Giles, the new period or should I say theatre is not a big project time wise, so shouldn't eat into my Guilford Courthouse project too much. I already have the Courthouse and Hoskins farmhouse painted, so they will be coming up in a future post.
      Cheers,
      Pat.

    Fantastic looking models. Placing the barn at an angle on the base makes it 'pop out' on the table, very nice.

    Regards,
