Having backed the Cohors Cthulhu Kickstarter from Modiphius I bought some figures and dug out my unfinished Roman Inn from Aarrissa Precision and decided to finish it providing as much as a tutorial as possible.

The Inn as it is before restarting. I have cut a baseboard from hardboard, chamfering the edges with a Stanley knife and sanding block.

The roman precut roofing tiles from Warbases.

Glueing the tiles, I found it best to overcurrent the strips, and then trim once the glue had dried.

I made the walls of the garden from offcuts from the baseboard, I had to plaster the textured side of the board.

I found a large fat dinner knife perfect for plastering the walls. I also plastered all the corners and join marks on the building and walls. Once dry i sandpapered all the polyfilla.

Plastering the building.

The raw materials for adding the wooden beams to the building. I used a mixture of 4mm planks from Cornwall Model Boats Company and the thin veneer you can find in cigar boxes for the thicker beams.

Adding the beams to the building.

More beams. This took a long time but it is worth it. I also framed the windows on the interior and bought a second set of the laser cut card elements so I had the square window and doorframes.
