Before Christmas I asked Graham at Grimsforge to work on another couple of projects for me to round out the variety of buildings in my fringe-world setting. Along with some bigger pieces (more on those at a future date), I wanted a selection of smaller sheds and shacks that I could use as scatter or butt up against a larger structure to change its footprint.
Grouped together the sheds make a nice little homestead. |
There are three different sheds, beautifully realised by Graham from my sketches:
As with the previous Grimsforge buildings, these are sturdily build on a hardboard base with a polystyrene core and card detailing.
I kept the painting fairly basic - the same standard grey I've used on most of the other buildings, plus plenty of grime and dust!
The three sheds can also be butted up together to make a single row. |
This shed features a floor hatch - access to an underground store or mine workings? |
Is it a standard lock-up, or perhaps there are stairs descending. |
A tiny single-roomed shack. |
After playing around with the sheds, I realised that some of them also work nicely as rooftop structures on some of the larger buildings. Really looking forward to getting them onto a table some time soon.
Great little shacks: they look super versatile.
ReplyDeleteI think you could do almost anything with them apart from stacking!!
DeleteFantastic stuff as always, Axiom. You and Graham get some buildings done! I would love to see everything together one of these days. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Don't worry, I'm planning to get everything out on a table and take some nice shots after I finish the next couple of buildings 🙂
DeleteSimple and very nice additions. The addition of buildings of different heights just make your little settlement even more believable and interesting to look at in general.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai! I'm building up a nice selection - mainly single storey, but some with two storeys as well.
DeleteGrimsforge buildings are amazing, and your paintaing really makes them shine ! Great work from both of you :D
ReplyDeleteI can't speak highly enough about the Grimsforge buildings. Really wonderful work! Glad you like the paintjobs too!
DeleteVery cool and useful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so!
DeleteSimple and effective. I like that they can be used in several configurations. The floor hatch is a nice touch :)
ReplyDeleteI'm q big fan of terrain that can be used in multiple ways too! I think these would be great spawn points for a plague zombie horde or similar too!
DeleteThree great additions for sure! Great concepts, great builds, great paint jobs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Hobbs!
DeleteI find these quite versatile and appealing, lovely project. I'm in need of a battle report of some kind to see them all on the field!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber! I'm desperate to find that gaming opportunity too 🙂
DeleteThe end results speak for itself. Great paint jobs too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them!
DeleteI like how Techpriest Zon's stiff pose gives your blogpost an air of awkward holiday photos. "Here I am in front of this cute little shed I found, and here I am in front of another cute shed, they had a real thing for cute sheds..."
ReplyDelete"In the grim darkness of the 41st millennium, there are only sheds..."?
