Gothic Church (Gothic ‘Astle)

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

I’ve had this project for quite some time now and I’ve finally got around to actually finishing it.  The aptly named Gothic ‘Astle is actually a plastic kit from Pegasus Hobbies called the Gothic City Building Small Set #1.  The kit was easy to put together and very well constructed constructed.  The kits they offer are even modular, you could easily combine a few different ones together to create something unique.  On top of that, as with most of Pegasus Hobbies products, it was cheap.

Completed Gothic 'Astle

This piece would stand great on it’s own, I decided to (at the time) use foam core for a base, in hind sight, I’d opt for the hardboard in a heart beat.  I also added a wood floor to the inside.  The paintjob was a simple matter of drybrushing grey’s and adding some basing material to the base.  Overall I’m happy with the project, even if it took me 2 years to complete…I’m not sure why I waited so long.

Siege Equipment Update

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

This is the progress from last week actually, I’ve been a bit slow on the posting of updates. I’m to the point know where I’m done building the majority of the siege equipment, it’s time to get some painting done on this stuff.

Front Shot, chains are neat...

I’m happy with the way the battering ram turned out, minus a few small grips with how I used the chains.

Some may thing archers are totally expendable, in this case, my archers will be mildly safer than before….until a cannon comes their way.  Most of these were a quick build, I’m either getting better at it or these were just easy to make.  Once I get some paint down on this I’ll have some more posts on it and hopefully a battle report at some point!  A fellow partner in terrain building has been working on a few items, a house as well as a custom siege tower of his own.  Hopefully I’ll get some shots of this and get a  post up sometime soon!
