Town House from Stronghold Terrain
The Town House is the second Stronghold Terrain building after the Guild House out of the lot I bought at the Tactica convention earlier this year. What you get (the kit) Let’s start with a photo of the contents of the kit: The contents of the box The set consists of resin parts – two roof pieces, a window, two chimney pieces and a base – and plaster walls for the house itself. The plaster is good enough with few air bubbles. The walls of the ground floor fit together nicely; I used a bit of modelling putty to fill a few gaps (after painting the walls first, though!). Note the modelled shingles and matchstick panel The window and chimney which are both glued on the roof looked a bit too “stacked on” for my taste, so I used modelling putty ( ProCreate , to be precise) to fill the gaps between them and the roof. You can see the same on the sample photos of the Stronghold Terrain website . This was easy enough for the chimney but for the window I modelled extra shingles and hid the gap with matchsticks – an extra twenty minutes well spent I believe. Painting & Extras I wasn’t quite happy with how the stonework of the Guild House turned out so I had to try something different this time. Using a tutorial by Elmar Fischer at elladan I used pigments this time: A mix of MIG Concrete , MIG Dry Mud and water applied on the black undercoat. After drying the pigments’ colour was removed from the raised surfaces of the stones with a wet tissue.
