I have continued adding texture to the outside of the MDF church. I added a few drops of water to the filler to thin it out a bit and so it paints on easier before I then dapple it with an old 1″ brush.
I have to get a couple of new bits cut before I can finish the front, as I have been tweaking the design to add a removeable roof for the porch.
I really do need to stop changing the plans and making last minute modifications to my designs. Jim of Product For Wargamers asked if I was going to add opening doors like I have done to the Tudor buildings, but these doors are arched so it would not be as easy. But I am thinking about it…

Church Wall Texturing
As I continue to pimp the MDF church, I have dappled filler on a couple of tower sections to see how it would look.
The larger section has been undercoated with Homebase Charcoal from a cheap tester pot. I plan to drybrush the hell out of it with a lighter grey and then pick out the window frames.
Tudor Building
The ever growing Tudor town has a new addition, well almost, it is still a prototype, but it is coming along.
It started by just adding arched windows to a square house but then ended up being a whole new design.
I added really wide double doors for a change along with steps as wide as the building itself.
The roof is also an experimental design, although it is more like a Gambrel/Dutch Colonial style.
I finally manged to get some more paint tester pots from Homebase, a few different colours to try out, and I have painted some roof panels an interesting purple and bright red, both of which I like and will be using on future builds.
Stormcast Eternals
I did not realise how large these Stormcast models are, I found a few really cheap on eBay and thought they could be added to a Knightly unit for Oathmark. But they are very tall and so may be better off as a unit of three Linebreakers.
Grey Roof?
So far I have been using reds and browns for the roofs on my Tudor buildings but decided to try grey. I did not like it and have since painted it red!
Spire Roof Test
I have been trying to design a spire roof and it really is not as easy as I had thought.
I have had a test roof cut recently and although it needs work, I did not want to just throw it away and so I glued it together anyway and then added card tiles to see what it would look like.
Once I had glued all the tiles to one side, I let it dry so the edges could be trimmed easily.
There are some edges to add to cover up the cuts and I have to add something to the top to finish it off.
Rackham Ogres
I have painted up a few Rackham Ogres, mainly to be used as Linebreakers in Oathmark.
The detail on the models is insane and took ages to paint!
