We All Come to an End

The past two weeks have been quite slow on the old progress. I was at Empire again last weekend and I’ve only just recovered (who would have thought larping would be so tiring). Time to get back on the terrain horse.

I’ve started to prime the church. The main body needs a second coat, I had to abort last night because it started to rain. I’ve done the roof in black because I want it to look like slate.

We want the building to be sandstone. So the next step is to spray all the brickwork brown before we attack it with sponges.

Another six bases painted.

The challenge might be over but the project goes on.

I’ve started building the enclosure for the mausoleums. I just need to acquire a base to attach the fences to.  I’ve even picked up a cobblestone roller from greenstuff world for the paths in the enclosure.

As for the enclosure itself I’m going to leave the back end open and sit the base on the edge of the board.  Lazy, but it works.

I had planned to build a gated enclosure for four of these…

I had planned to build the enclosure  in a square or rectangle. However once I assembled the gates I noticed this

The gate is wider than the rest of the fencing. Which means the fences will not form a neat square or rectangle. AAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!

Right I could fix this with a razor saw. However I’m shite at sawing in a straight line.  Plan B. I’m still going with the rectangle, however it’s only going to have three sides in a big horse shoe shape. I’ll attach them on a base (complete with textured pathways). The plan will be to sit the open edge on the board edge and that should solve the problem…. hopefully.

I’ve  been at my cousin’s wedding in Oxford for the past few days, so travelling to that and back (from Scotland) has taken up the majority of my hobby time.  However I’m not back to work until tomorrow so it’s time to get some hobby done.

Here’s what I’ve done so far this morning so far.
