This A-frame style house was deliberately a lot smaller and again had plastic card as the basis for the walls. This time I tried something new: cut up ice cream sticks for wood paneling. Again, I based the building on an mdf coaster for added stability. The inside firepit was constructed from matchsticks ( I was thrilled with how well the fire itself came out actually), the log piles are sticks from my garden and I used my usual basing technique with static grass and silfor tufts.
For painting the wood, I was after a weathered effect, so I base coated it all codex grey and then did a sepia wash. That wasn't quite what I was after so I did some burnt umber parts too and ended up with this nice mottled effect to make it look like its stood a few seasons. For the insides I simply painted on the woodgrain onto the plastic card, which works.
Like the hatched hall, the roof is made from cardboard with teddy bear fur glued on. Ive gone the extra step now and plastered it with watered down PVA glue, combed into shape and left fr the 3 days it needed to fully dry. I am really pleased with the how it came out and glad I went the extra step.
The next Dark Age buildings I am planning are some small hovels.
