More Tabletop world goodies

Just received the shipment of the Townhouse and Graveyard set from Tabletop World. As expected the pieces were again amazing. However there was something which made them even better and those were the little bits, that came as a surprise to me.

The graveyard set had a pick axe, shovel and some other tool, which I don't know what it is called plus three miniature CROWS :D which are going to perch on the headstones I suppose. The townhouse had a separate bucket. I don't know if anyone else gets so exited about this kind of stuff, but I was all smiles all night because of those.

Here're some pictures of the stuff I got:

Townhouse - again WOW :D

Sample headstones from the graveyard set.

Some of the headstone were more impressive than others

I wasn't expecting to get tools with my graveyard set

OR birds! Funnily these birds made me happier than anything else in the dispatch (there were 3 of them)

Just to show that there was more than 3 headstones

I also glued the well together for painting and it has got to be done by 3.10. which is the date we set for the war hammer scenario. Maybe I'll put one of those birds perching on the well.

The waterwheel in the well was broken probably in transit. I thought of notifying and asking for a replacement, but it was less trouble gluing it together. It's not perfect, but good enough for me.

Tabletop World Cottage - Painted

Done!

The cottage model is quite a broken up shack with pieces of the roof loose or dropped off. I tried to use that with the painting especially with the wooden parts. Now I'm not sure how the kind of wooden roofs like the one on this would have been made really, but I'd imagine the planks would have been painted to keep the water out, so I painted the whole roof blue.

"Old roof" google image search gave me the idea for a moody roof (which all the images had). The mild is done by sponging various green shades on the finished roof and finally flocking the green parts for some texture. The flock is GF9 Dark Conifer flock.  It's not perfect, but I'm reasonably happy with it.

Maybe, I'll touch it up with some highlights or more washes later, but for now I think this will do. Since another Townhouse is already coming at me from Tabletop world, I get to enhance the look with the that project (I'm expecting it to arrive within a week or so). With the next house (and others, which will probably follow) again I plan to make the roof painted (perhaps red or orange) and make it as moody as this one.

Here're some images of the Cottage:

I'm really exited about the cottage and it actually inspired me to write up the scenario "Jos Metsään haluat sä mennä nyt", which is basically just an excuse to field this model (Well playing miniature games in general is just an excuse to field various painted bits on the table right? :).

Tabletop World Cottage and Well

After selling the war hammer 40000 armies and enjoying my new wealth for a moment, it was time to start investing that money to something and what would be a better investment than more miniature(related stuff). So I put an order to Tabletop World. Since I never ordered anything from them, I thought it would be wise to start small. I thought the Cottage and the Water Well would be a good start.

The package arrived yesterday and Oh My they were sweet! Here're some pics:

The models were very tightly packed, which is nice, since especially the roofs have some quite thin parts.

I would say the scale is 25mm, which makes them look kinda small next to these reaper models, but its not too far off.

The detail is amazing!

Another angle

And off course you can open them up. Even the underside of the roof is fully detailed.

I already begun painting the cottage and the house has inspired me to device a Narrative scenario, which I will post later. I think I'll first paint this cottage and take some pics of the battle board to stand for a map in the scenario. One of my gaming buddies has already agreed to play the scenario with me yay!
