One of the most complex components of the Bloodbath project will be the terrain as I intend to use the cards to build full buildings and the other pieces.
The original scenario contained the card buildings needed to play each battle. The sheets were also released as part of the iconic Townscape book. I decided to start with the ruined cottage
The full set of buildings and elements from the boxed set.
The Ruined Cottage
Foam Card measured and drawn to match the original dimensions
The damaged sections were dug out...
...and replaced with Green Stuff with the exposed stonework sculpted in
the assembled framework.
Small modifications from the original were the inside detail which was absent, wooden door frame and some additional height which meant the outside steps were a necessity but allowed the floor boards and hole to be more realistic
Coffees stirrers provided the planking
Holes in the floorboards
Ruined second floor was assembled with more stirrers
Second floor and roof frame with plasticard for roof tiles
Roof tiles laid and extras scattered around the base to add more realism
Sand and stone added
Assembled and undercoated
Initial paints. I decided in the end not to try and match the original colours too closely and to leave the roof tiles a dark grey rather than red which matches up better with the Projects overall more subdued palette.
Moss added with a PVA and Flock mix which will be ink washed afterwards
Featured Grafitti as on the originals
