A quick post to share a couple of recent purchases from Warbases. (Just to clarify, I don't work for them, I'm just a satisfied customer!). I have bought bases from them for quite a few years now, and last visit I thought I'd try some of their other items.
On seeing them, I took an immediate fancy to the MDF 10mm size buildings. These come in kit form as illustrated in the following picture. I purchased a couple of the smaller ones to try as I'm not gifted when it comes to model making.
The main parts are laser cut MDF; the "half-timbering" is laser cut card, and the roof is also a piece of scored card. How simply, and neatly, the parts fit together is demonstrated by the fact that I made (including painting) one of them this morning.
The house by the lake (with 10mm Norman) |
This is the "Cavendish Cottage" with Stone Foundation option. I simply painted the walls off white and coloured the half-timbering with a trusty Sharpie (other fibre tipped pens are available). The roof is a bit plain so I think I'm going to tile it.
The Lake in the above picture was also from Warbases (see here). The set of MDF Ponds or Lakes, depending on the size of your figures, is illustrated below.

Every time I look at the Warbases site they seem to have added new bits and pieces that I probably "must" have, so there may be similar posts in the future!
Nice looking house, and those ponds have been tempting me for a while…(might grab some at an upcoming show). Looking forward to seeing more of these as and when you acquire them, MJT. ππΌπ
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin. I think the houses would work (a bit undersized) with your 15mm figures.
DeleteEspecially with my ECW stuff, I think….
DeleteSounds good!
DeleteExcellent purchases and Warbases are such a great company to deal with. They are so helpful and reliable.

A very satisfied customer
Agreed! Very helpful folk.
DeleteVery nice. Are the ponds just one sided? Or are they painted/prepared on both front and back sides?
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Geoff
Thanks Geoff. Single sided, and a printed surface on MDF.
