WIP 9 MDF Buildings.


 The MDF buildings in this post are from Sarissa, Colin at Charlie Foxtrot models, and eBay. The outbuildings, Greenhouse, and the tractor are just a straightforward paint job, whereas the bigger buildings have been upgraded with filler, cardboard, and coffee stirrers before painting and weathering.

The high and low walls around the farm are scratch-built by me.

The farm buildings and base I got the idea and was inspired by the excellent model made by Joe Bilton. Check out his work in the last couple of issues of WSS magazine or you can see his work on Twitter.






















I need to make a base and walled graveyard for the church but this will have to do for now.










These two buildings are from Charlie Foxtrot Models.

As usual, the link for buying volume 3 or putting your name on the waiting list for a reprint of volume 1 or 2 of Setting the Scene, then please contact Steve at stevelampon@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers,
Pat.

    Great job on these MDF kits. I fail to see how these are WIP.
    Sarissa kits I find are OK, a good place to start but need some effort to look good. I really like stuff from Charlie Foxtrot. 😀

      Thanks Stew. My apologies with the title, it started off as NAP WIP 1 for my next project but the theme has branched out from NW Europe 1815 to include 1940 and as there was no NAPS in post 9, it is just called WIP 9. This is more of a reference for me as it is as a post title for the blog reader, so sorry for any confusion. These MDF buildings are not WIP, they are at the finished stage.

      Thanks Jim, MDF kits are a great starting point and doesn't take a lot to upgrade them.

    More outstanding work on those buildings...they don't even look like mdf kits once your through with them! On a side note, Norton got excited when I came to your site today, flagging it as red, must be due to your stellar offerings!

      Thanks Terry. I am getting a couple of Spam comments on a daily basis, so I will shut down the comments section until my next post.
